Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
-9+1=-8 so 2x squared =-8
x=-2
Answer:
0.3891 = 38.91% probability that only one is a second
Step-by-step explanation:
For each globet, there are only two possible outcoes. Either they have cosmetic flaws, or they do not. The probability of a goblet having a cosmetic flaw is independent of other globets. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

In which
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.
17% of its goblets have cosmetic flaws and must be classified as "seconds."
This means that 
Among seven randomly selected goblets, how likely is it that only one is a second
This is P(X = 1) when n = 7. So


0.3891 = 38.91% probability that only one is a second
Given:
The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as a function of its current x (in amperes) is modeled by

To find:
The current which will produce the maximum power.
Solution:
We have,


Differentiate with respect to x.

...(i)
To find the extreme point equate P'(x)=0.


Divide both sides by -30.

Differentiate (i) with respect to x.

(Maximum)
It means, the given function is maximum at x=4.
Therefore, the current of 4 amperes will produce the maximum power.
