Consider the following function. f(x) = 16 − x2/3 Find f(−64) and f(64). f(−64) = f(64) = Find all values c in (−64, 64) such th

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

This does not contradict Rolle's Theorem, since f '(0) = 0, and 0 is in the interval (−64, 64).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x)=16-\frac{x^2}{3}$

To find $f(-64)$ , we substitute $x=-64$ into the function.

$f(-64)=16-\frac{(-64)^2}{3}$

$f(-64)=16-\frac{4096}{3}$

$f(-64)=-\frac{4048}{3}$

To find $f(64)$ , we substitute $x=64$ into the function.

$f(64)=16-\frac{(64)^2}{3}$

$f(64)=16-\frac{4096}{3}$

$f(64)=-\frac{4048}{3}$

To find $f'(c)$ , we must first find $f'(x)$ .

$f'(x)=-\frac{2x}{3}$

This implies that;

$f'(c)=-\frac{2c}{3}$

$f'(c)=0$

$\Rightarrow -\frac{2c}{3}=0$

$\Rightarrow -\frac{2c}{3}\times -\frac{3}{2}=0\times -\frac{3}{2}$

$c=0$

For this function to satisfy the Rolle's Theorem;

It must be continuous on $[-64,64]$ .

It must be differentiable on $(-64,64)$ .

and

$f(-64)=f(64)$ .

All the hypotheses are met, hence this does not contradict Rolle's Theorem, since f '(0) = 0, and 0 is in the interval (−64, 64) is the correct choice.

Assuming the incident of fires for individual reactors can be described by a Poisson distribution, what is the probability that

Maksim231197 [3]

Complete Question

The Brown's Ferry incident of 1975 focused national attention on the ever-present danger of fires breaking out in nuclear power plants. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has estimated that with present technology there will be on average, one fire for every 10 years for a reactor. Suppose that a certain state has two reactors on line in 2020 and they behave independently of one another. Assuming the incident of fires for individual reactors can be described by a Poisson distribution, what is the probability that by 2030 at least two fires will have occurred at these reactors?

Answer:

The value is $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 )= 0.5940$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The rate at which fire breaks out every 10 years is $\lambda = 1$

Generally the probability distribution function for Poisson distribution is mathematically represented as

$P(x) = \frac{\lambda^x}{ k! } * e^{-\lambda}$

Here x represent the number of state which is 2 i.e $x_1 \ \ and \ \ x_2$

Generally the probability that by 2030 at least two fires will have occurred at these reactors is mathematically represented as

$P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - P(x_1 + x_2 \le 1 )$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - [P(x_1 + x_2 = 0 ) + P( x_1 + x_2 = 1 )]$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - [ P(x_1 = 0 , x_2 = 0 ) + P( x_1 = 0 , x_2 = 1 ) + P(x_1 , x_2 = 0)]$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - P(x_1 = 0)P(x_2 = 0 ) + P( x_1 = 0 ) P( x_2 = 1 )+ P(x_1 = 1 )P(x_2 = 0)$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - \{ [ \frac{1^0}{ 0! } * e^{-1}] * [[ \frac{1^0}{ 0! } * e^{-1}]] )+ ( [ \frac{1^1}{1! } * e^{-1}] * [[ \frac{1^1}{ 1! } * e^{-1}]] ) + ( [ \frac{1^1}{ 1! } * e^{-1}] * [[ \frac{1^0}{ 0! } * e^{-1}]]) \}$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 )= 1- [[0.3678 * 0.3679] + [0.3678 * 0.3679] + [0.3678 * 0.3679] ]$

$P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 )= 0.5940$

Adam is using an ATM to make a withdrawal. The ATM is affiliated with a different bank than the bank where Adam has his checking

alexira [117]

Adam will most likely have to pay for ATM usage fees.

ATM usage fees refers to the payment one makes when using an ATM machine especially if the bank card inserted is affiliated with another bank.
