2. A technician is designing a new portable CD player that requires ten batteries for its power. The probability that any one of these batteries will fail is 0.25. If one battery fails, the CD player will not run. The technician wants to be sure that the CD player will receive enough power from the batteries. What is the probability that of ten batteries, seven with not fail?
3. Let P(n) represent the following statement:
6 + 14 + 22 + ... + (8n-2) = 4n^2 + 2n
In the proof that P(n) is true for all integers n, n > or = 1, which in term must be added
to both sides of P(k) to show P(k+1) follows from P(k)?
4. Find the product, if possible. They are in brackets.
AB, if A = ___, ___ B= ___ ___
I 0 9 -6 I I 7 I
I I I 5 I
I__-0 -10 7 __I I__-2 __I
5. What is the matrix equation of the form Ax=b for the given system of equations?
All equations are inside the same { } on below the other. The subs are below the X
on the right of each one.
{ 3x(sub1) +8x(sub2) + 3x(sub3) - 6x(sub4) = 13 }
-2x(sub1) - 7x(sub2) + 6x(sub3) - 3x(sub 4) = -55
2x(sub1) - 5x(sub2) - 3x(sub3) - 2x*sub4) = -24
4x(sub1) + 2x(sub2) - 9x(sub3) - 5x(sub4) = 19
