Although television HDTV converters are tested before they are placed in the installer's truck, the installer knows that 20 perc

ent of them still won't work properly. The driver must install eight converters today in an apartment building.
Required:
a. Ten converters are placed in the truck. What is the probability that the driver will have enough working converters?
b. How many boxes should the driver load to ensure a 95percent probability of having enough working converters?

Answer:

HDTV Converters

a. The probability that the driver will have enough working converters = 80% (100 - 20%).

b. The driver should load 10 boxes (or specifically 9.5 boxes) to ensure a 95% probability of having enough working converters.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Probability of HDTV converters known to not work property = 20%

This implies that 80% (100 - 20%) will work properly.

Number of converters to install today in an apartment building = 8

Number of converters placed in the truck = 10

b) The probability that the driver will have enough working converters = the probability of having properly working converters, which is 80%.  To ensure a 95 percent probability of having enough working converters, out of 10 converters, the number of boxes to load on the truck is 9.5 (10 * 95%) boxes.  Since there are no half boxes, it means that 10 boxes must be loaded, approximated to the nearest convenient number.

Answer: An integer added to an integer is an integer, this statement is always true. A polynomial subtracted from a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is always true. A polynomial divided by a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is sometimes true. A polynomial multiplied by a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is always true.

Explanation:

1)

The closure property of integer states that the addition, subtraction and multiplication is integers is always an integer.

If a\in Z\text{ and }b\in Z, then a+b\in Z.

Therefore, an integer added to an integer is an integer, this statement is always true.

2)

A polynomial is in the form of,

p(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{x-1}+...+a_1x+a_0

Where a_n,a_{n-1},...,a_1,a_0 are constant coefficient.

When we subtract the two polynomial then the resultant is also a polynomial form.

Therefore, a polynomial subtracted from a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is always true.

3)

If a polynomial divided by a polynomial  then it may or may not be a polynomial.

If the degree of numerator polynomial is higher than the degree of denominator polynomial then it may be a polynomial.

For example:

f(x)=x^2-2x+5x-10 \text{ and } g(x)=x-2

Then \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=x^2+5, which a polynomial.

If the degree of numerator polynomial is less than the degree of denominator polynomial then it is a rational function.

For example:

f(x)=x^2-2x+5x-10 \text{ and } g(x)=x-2

Then \frac{g(x)}{f(x)}=\frac{1}{x^2+5}, which a not a polynomial.

Therefore, a polynomial divided by a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is sometimes true.

4)

As we know a polynomial is in the form of,

p(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{x-1}+...+a_1x+a_0

Where a_n,a_{n-1},...,a_1,a_0 are constant coefficient.

When we multiply the two polynomial, the degree of the resultand function is addition of degree of both polyminals and the resultant is also a polynomial form.

Therefore, a polynomial subtracted from a polynomial is a polynomial, this statement is always true.

What’s the answer to this?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

answer c

Step-by-step explanation:

the two x-intercepts are (-4,0) and (2,0) so the factors of the equation are (x-2) and (x+4). if you multiply the factors it gives you the equation of the graph whic is x^2+2x-8 so c= -8 and b= 2
