Write the product of 6x-4 and the multiplicative inverse of 1 over 5

nlexa [21]

Answer:

30x -20

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of 1/5 is 5/1 = 5. Multiplying that by 6x-4 gives ...

5 × (6x -4) = 30x -20

Computer keyboard failures are due to faulty electrical connects (12%) or mechanical defects (88%). Mechanical defects are relat

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

(c) Probability that a failure is due to loose keys = 0.2376

(d) Probability that a failure is due to improperly connected or poorly welded wires = 0.078

Step-by-step explanation:

The Whole probability scenario is given for Computer Keyboard failures.

(a) Let F be the event of failure due to faulty electrical connects, P(F) = 0.12

M be the event of failure due to mechanical defects, P(M) = 0.88

LK be the event of mechanical defect due to loose keys, P(LK/M) = 0.27

IA be the event of mechanical defect due to improper assembly, P(IA/M) =0.73

DW be the event of electrical connects due to defective wires,P(DW/F) = 0.35

IC be the event of electrical connects due to improper connections,

P(IC/F) = 0.13 .

PWW be the event of electrical connects due to poorly welded wires,

P(PWW/F) = 0.52

(b) Keyboard failures

Faulty electrical connects Mechanical Defects

P(F) = 0.12 P(M) = 0.88

Defective wires Improper Poorly Loose Keys Improper

P(DW/F)=0.35 Connections Welded wires P(LK/M)=0.27 Assembly

P(IC/F)=0.13 P(PWW/F)=0.52 P(IA/M)=0.73

This is the required tree diagram.

(c) Probability that a failure is due to loose keys is given by:

P(LK) =P(LK/M) * P(M) {This means mechanical failure is due to loose

keys}

P(LK) = 0.27 * 0.88 = 0.2376 .

(d) Probability that a failure is due to improperly connected or poorly welded

wires is given by P(IC $\bigcup$ PWW) ;

P(IC $\bigcup$ PWW) = P(IC) + P(PWW) - P(IC $\bigcap$ PWW) { Here P(IC $\bigcap$ PWW) = 0 }

P(IC) = P(IC/F) * P(F) = 0.13 * 0.12 = 0.0156

P(PWW) = P(PWW/F) * P(F) = 0.52 * 0.13 = 0.0676

Therefore, P(IC $\bigcup$ PWW) = 0.0156 + 0.0676 - 0 = 0.078 .

Which of the following would be an acceptable first step in simplifying the expression sinx/1-sinx

Paha777 [63]

$\bf \textit{difference of squares}
\\\\
(a-b)(a+b) = a^2-b^2\qquad \qquad 
a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
\\\\\\
\textit{also recall that }sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1\implies cos^2(\theta)=1-sin^2(\theta)\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf \cfrac{sin(x)}{1-sin(x)}\implies \cfrac{sin(x)}{1-sin(x)}\cdot \cfrac{1+sin(x)}{1+sin(x)}\implies \stackrel{first~step}{\cfrac{sin(x)[1+sin(x)]}{[1-sin(x)][1+sin(x)]}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{sin(x)[1+sin(x)]}{1^2-sin^2(x)}\implies \cfrac{sin(x)[1+sin(x)]}{cos^2(x)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{sin(x)+sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}\implies \cfrac{sin(x)}{cos^2(x)}+ \cfrac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}\cdot \cfrac{1}{cos(x)}+\cfrac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}\implies tan(x)sec(x)+tan^2(x)
\\\\\\
tan(x)[sec(x)+tan(x)]$
