To compare fractions , you need to have same denominator.
Just multiply the Numerator and denominator of the fraction by required number so as to get the common denominator.
for example, In this case , the common denominator is 12.
the first fraction is converted as shown, 5/3=5*4/3*4=20/12
similarly, you can convert others.
Once you have common denominator, just compare numerators.
The standard form of the quadratic equation is ax^2 + bx + c. In vertex form, it's y = a(x – h)2 + k.
The graph of a quadratic equation is a parabola, which looks like a u. If <em>a</em> is negative then it's an upside down u.
Let the amount deposited (principal) be x, then the amount after the required time = 2x.
A = P(1 + r/n)^nt: where A is the future value = 2x, P is the principal = x, r is the rate = 0.75%, n is the number of accumulation in a year = 12, t is the number of years.
2x = x(1 + 0.0075/12)^12t
2 = (1 + 0.000625)^12t
log 2 = 12t log (1.000625)
log 2 / log (1.000625) = 12t
1109.38 = 12t
t = 92 years
Answer:
a) X ~ 
b) μ = 100/3
c) 
d) A battery is expected to last 100/3 months (33 months and 10 days approximately).
e) For seven batteries, i would expect them to last 700/3 months (approximately 19 years, 5 months and 10 days).
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The life of a battery is usually modeled with an exponential distribution X ~
b) The mean of X is μ = 1/0.03 = 100/3
c) The standard deviation is 
d) The expected value of the bateery life is equal to its mean, hence it is 100/3 months.
e) The expected value of 7 (independent) batteries is the sum of the expected values of each one, hence it is 7*100/3 = 700/3 months.
