your don't see what went wrong ?

Tyrell worked on

16 - 2(4 + 3x)

what do brackets mean ? they mean that this operation has to be done before everything else in the expression.

as this contains a variable, we cannot fully calculate it, true, but we need to keep this in mind and always treat the content of the brackets as one package.

so, whatever I do from the outside with one part of that package, I have to do also with all the other parts of that package.

so, the multiplication with -2 has to happen with both : 4 and 3x. not just with 4.

therefore, the correct simplification looks like

16 - 8 - 6x

8 - 6x or -6x + 8

Amelia multiplied correctly, but then made a mistake summing things up

10x - 3(4x + 1)

10x - 12x - 3

10x - 12x = -2x

I can't mix the pure constant -3 into the factors of x. that would be like the famous mixing of apples and oranges.

so, the result is

-2x - 3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The function has vertical asymptotes at x=7 and x=-3, so the denominator needs to have factors (x-7) and (x+3).

This eliminates all the options except for A.

Assume that the probability of a defective computer component is 0.02. Components arerandomly selected. Find the probability tha

solmaris [256]

Answer:

0.0177 = 1.77% probability that the first defect is caused by the seventh component tested.

The expected number of components tested before a defective component is found is 50, with a variance of 0.0208.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the probability of a defective computer component is 0.02. Components are randomly selected. Find the probability that the first defect is caused by the seventh component tested.

First six not defective, each with 0.98 probability.

7th defective, with 0.02 probability. So

$p = (0.98)^6*0.02 = 0.0177$

0.0177 = 1.77% probability that the first defect is caused by the seventh component tested.

Find the expected number and variance of the number of components tested before a defective component is found.

Inverse binomial distribution, with $p = 0.02$

Expected number before 1 defective(n = 1). So

$E = \frac{n}{p} = \frac{1}{0.02} = 50$

Variance is:

$V = \frac{np}{(1-p)^2} = \frac{0.02}{(1-0.02)^2} = 0.0208$

The expected number of components tested before a defective component is found is 50, with a variance of 0.0208.

As his empire spread throughout the ancient world, Alexander founded roughly how many cities?

Studentka2010 [4]

About 70 Cities in Total.

For his more noteworthy grandness, Alexander established exactly 70 urban areas in the grounds he vanquished and requested them named after himself. Most celebrated, obviously, is Alexandria in Egypt. In India, when his dearest horse kicked the bucket, he requested a city to be constructed named Bucephala.
