Step-by-step explanation:

x = downstream speed in mph

4 hours × (x-10) + 3 hours × x = 58 miles

4x - 40 + 3x = 58

7x = 98

x = 14 mph downstream speed

and as extra :

therefore his upstream speed was 14 - 10 = 4 mph

7. A battery manufacturer makes batteries that have a failure rate of .015. That is, 15 out of each 1,000 batteries are defectiv

azamat

The answer to this probability question is .86 or 86%. The probability that a batch of 10,000 batteries will contain at least 175 defective batteries is 86 percent. I calculated the failure rate of 10,000 batteries (10k*.015) and yielded 150, meaning there will be 150 batteries that will be defective in a set of 10,000. Then i divided 150 by 175 to get the probability.

Please help solve for x..

aalyn [17]

Answer:

x = 1 or x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

$x^{100}-4^x \cdot x^{98}-x^2+4^x=0$

Factor out -1:

$\implies -1(-x^{100}+4^x \cdot x^{98}+x^2-4^x)=0$

Divide both sides by -1:

$\implies -x^{100}+4^x \cdot x^{98}+x^2-4^x=0$

Rearrange the terms:

$\implies 4^x \cdot x^{98}-4^x-x^{100}+x^2=0$

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad a^{b+c}=a^b \cdot a^c \quad \textsf{to }x^{100}:$

$\implies 4^x \cdot x^{98}-4^x-x^{98}x^2+x^2=0$

Factor the first two terms and the last two terms separately:

$\implies 4^x(x^{98}-1)-x^2(x^{98}-1)=0$

Factor out the common term $(x^{98}-1)$ :

$\implies (4^x-x^2)(x^{98}-1)=0$

<u>Zero Product Property</u>: If a ⋅ b = 0 then either a = 0 or b = 0 (or both).

Using the <u>Zero Product Property</u>, set each factor equal to zero and solve for x (if possible):

$\begin{aligned}x^{98}-1 & = 0 & \quad \textsf{or} \quad \quad4^x-x^2 & = 0 \\x^{98} & =1 & 4^x & = x^2 \\x & = 1, -1 & \textsf{no}& \textsf{ solutions for } x \in \mathbb{R}\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the solutions to the given equation are: x = 1 or x = -1
