Answer:

No, she cannot completely cover the footrest.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to find the total surface area of the prism to be covered using the cotton cloth

the total surface area of the prism is

A = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw,

l is the length of the prism = 18 in,

w= width of the prism = 12 in,

h is the height of the prism = 10 in

hence A = 2(12 \times 18 ) + 2(18 \times 10) + 2(10 \times 12)=1032in^{2}

We need to convert the area of the fabric to be in the same unit as that of the prism

Area of cotton fabric = 1 yd^{2}= 1296 in ^{2}

since the surface area of the foot rest is more than the area of fabric she has, she cannot completely cover the footrest

Answer:

The surface area of the footrest is 1032In²

And since she has 1yd²(1296in²) of fabric she cannot cover the footrest completely

Step-by-step explanation:

Kindly find attached rough sketch of the rectangular prism for your reference.

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, a rectangular prism

To solve the problem we need to calculate the total surface area of the prism and compare it with her 1yd fabric

Given data

Length 18 in.

Width 12 in.

Height 10 in

SA=2(wl+hl+hw)

SA= 2(12*18+ 10*18+ 10*12)

SA= 2(216+180+120)

SA= 2(516)

SA= 1032In²

Let us make the comparison

1 yd² is equal to 1296in²

A large electronic office product contains 2000 electronic components. Assume that the probability that each component operates
KIM [24]

Answer:

The probability is 0.971032

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable that says the number of components that fail during the useful life of the product follows a binomial distribution.

The Binomial distribution apply when we have n identical and independent events with a probability p of success and a probability 1-p of not success. Then, the probability that x of the n events are success is given by:

P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^{x}*(1-p)^{n-x}

In this case, we have 2000 electronics components with a probability 0.005 of fail during the useful life of the product and a probability 0.995 that each component operates without failure during the useful life of the product. Then, the probability that x components of the 2000 fail is:

P(x)=\frac{2000!}{x!(2000-x)!}*0.005^{x}*(0.995)^{2000-x}     (eq. 1)

So, the probability that 5 or more of the original 2000 components fail during the useful life of the product is:

P(x ≥ 5) = P(5) + P(6) + ... + P(1999) + P(2000)

We can also calculated that as:

P(x ≥ 5) = 1 - P(x ≤ 4)

Where P(x ≤ 4) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3) + P(4)

Then, if we calculate every probability using eq. 1, we get:

P(x ≤ 4) = 0.000044 + 0.000445 + 0.002235 + 0.007479 + 0.018765

P(x ≤ 4) = 0.028968

Finally, P(x ≥ 5) is:

P(x ≥ 5) = 1 - 0.028968

P(x ≥ 5) = 0.971032

What is different between solving inequalities and absolute value inequalities?
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

The absolute number of a number a is written as

|a|

And represents the distance between a and 0 on a number line.

An absolute value equation is an equation that contains an absolute value expression. The equation

|x|=a

Has two solutions x = a and x = -a because both numbers are at the distance a from 0.

To solve an absolute value equation as

|x+7|=14

You begin by making it into two separate equations and then solving them separately.

x+7=14

x+7−7=14−7

x=7

or

x+7=−14

x+7−7=−14−7

x=−21

An absolute value equation has no solution if the absolute value expression equals a negative number since an absolute value can never be negative.

The inequality

|x|<2

Represents the distance between x and 0 that is less than 2

Whereas the inequality

|x|>2

Represents the distance between x and 0 that is greater than 2

You can write an absolute value inequality as a compound inequality.

−2<x<2

This holds true for all absolute value inequalities.

|ax+b|<c,wherec>0

=−c<ax+b<c

|ax+b|>c,wherec>0

=ax+b<−corax+b>c

You can replace > above with ≥ and < with ≤.

When solving an absolute value inequality it's necessary to first isolate the absolute value expression on one side of the inequality before solving the inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps :)
