Answer:
Probability that component 4 works given that the system is functioning = 0.434 .
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a parallel system functions whenever at least one of its components works.
There are parallel system of 5 components and each component works independently with probability 0.4 .
Let <em>A = Probability of component 4 working properly, P(A) = 0.4 .</em>
<em>Also let S = Probability that system is functioning for whole 5 components, P(S)</em>
Now, the conditional probability that component 4 works given that the system is functioning is given by P(A/S) ;
P(A/S) = {Means P(component 4 working and system also working)
divided by P(system is functioning)}
P(A/S) = {In numerator it is P(component 4 working) and in
denominator it is P(system working) = 1 - P(system is not working)}
Since we know that P(system not working) means that none of the components is working in system and it is given with the probability of 0.6 and since there are total of 5 components so P(system working) = 1 - 
.
Hence, P(A/S) = 
= 0.434.
Answers:
- C) x = plus/minus 11
- B) No real solutions
- C) Two solutions
- A) One solution
- The value <u> 18 </u> goes in the first blank. The value <u> 17 </u> goes in the second blank.
========================================================
Explanations:
- Note how (11)^2 = (11)*(11) = 121 and also (-11)^2 = (-11)*(-11) = 121. The two negatives multiply to a positive. So that's why the solution is x = plus/minus 11. The plus minus breaks down into the two equations x = 11 or x = -11.
- There are no real solutions here because the left hand side can never be negative, no matter what real number you pick for x. As mentioned in problem 1, squaring -11 leads to a positive number 121. The same idea applies here as well.
- The two solutions are x = 0 and x = -2. We set each factor equal to zero through the zero product property. Then we solve each equation for x. The x+2 = 0 leads to x = -2.
- We use the zero product property here as well. We have a repeated factor, so we're only solving one equation and that is x-3 = 0 which leads to x = 3. The only root is x = 3.
- Apply the FOIL rule on (x+1)(x+17) to end up with x^2+17x+1x+17 which simplifies fully to x^2+18x+17. The middle x coefficient is 18, while the constant term is 17.
Answer:
