Consider the following portion of an electric circuit with three relays. Current will flow from point a to point b if there is a

t least one closed path when the relays are activated. The relays may malfunction and not close when activated. Suppose that the relays act independently of one another and close properly when activated, with a probability of .9. Given that current flowed when the relays were activated, what is the probability that relay 1 functioned?

Answer:

0.9009

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the event that Current will flow

Let Y be the event that the first relay which is 1 is closed

Thus, we can say that every element of Y is in X, but X possesses more elements. Thus, Y ⊂ X.

Thus, we can say that;

P(X ∩ Y) = P(Y)

Thus, given that current flowed, the probability that relay 1 functioned will be expressed as;

P(Y | X) = (P(Y ∩ X))/P(X)

From earlier, we saw that P(X ∩ Y) = P(Y). Thus;

P(Y | X) = P(Y)/P(X)

From the question, P(Y) = 0.9

Since there are 3 relays, then we have;

P(X) = 1 - 0.1³ = 0.999

Thus;

P(Y | X) = 0.9/0.999

P(Y | X) = 0.9009

The equivalent expression is 7^{2}.

We have the following expression -

\frac{7^{-3} }{7^{-5} }

We have to find its equivalent value.

<h3>What is the equivalent expression of the following expression-</h3>

f(x, y) =\frac{A^{x} }{A^{y} }

In order to divide two exponents with same base, we use the 'Quotient property of exponents.

The equivalent expression can be written as -

f(x, y) = A^{x} A^{-y} = A^{x-y}

In the question given we have -

\frac{7^{-3} }{7^{-5} }

Using the property discussed above -

7^{-3}\;7^{5} = 7^{-3+5} = 7^{2}

Hence, the equivalent expression is 7^{2}.

find the equation of the circle where (-9,4),(-2,5),(-8,-3),(-1,-2) are the vertices of an inscribed square.
solniwko [45]
Check the picture below, so, that'd be the square inscribed in the circle.

so... hmm the diagonals for the square are the diameter of the circle, and keep in mind that the radius of a circle is half the diameter, so let's find the diameter.

\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\&#10;\begin{array}{lllll}&#10;&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&({{ -2}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})\quad &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&({{ -8}}\quad ,&{{ -3}})&#10;\end{array}\qquad &#10;%  distance value&#10;d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\stackrel{diameter}{d}=\sqrt{[-8-(-2)]^2+[-3-5]^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;d=\sqrt{(-8+2)^2+(-3-5)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-6)^2+(-8)^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;d=\sqrt{36+64}\implies d=\sqrt{100}\implies d=10

that means the radius r = 5.

now, what's the center?  well, the Midpoint of the diagonals, is really the center of the circle, let's check,

\bf \textit{middle point of 2 points}\\ \quad \\&#10;\begin{array}{lllll}&#10;&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&({{ -2}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})\quad &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&({{ -8}}\quad ,&{{ -3}})&#10;\end{array}\qquad &#10;\left(\cfrac{{{ x_2}} + {{ x_1}}}{2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{{{ y_2}} + {{ y_1}}}{2} \right)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\left( \cfrac{-8-2}{2}~,~\cfrac{-3+5}{2} \right)\implies (-5~,~1)

so, now we know the center coordinates and the radius, let's plug them in,

\bf \textit{equation of a circle}\\\\ &#10;(x-{{ h}})^2+(y-{{ k}})^2={{ r}}^2&#10;\qquad &#10;\begin{array}{lllll}&#10;center\ (&{{ h}},&{{ k}})\qquad &#10;radius=&{{ r}}\\&#10;&-5&1&5&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\\&#10;[x-(-5)]^2-[y-1]^2=5^2\implies (x+5)^2-(y-1)^2=25

Solve for x: -4x - 12 &lt; 12
aliina [53]

Seems like you are an imposter ;). This is Middle School math.

Anyways...

Answer:

x>6

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x-12<12

Add 12 on both sides.

-4x<24

Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x. Remember that if you are dividing by a negative, flip the sign!

x>6

Hope this helps!
