On a coordinate plane, point a is located at (7,4), and point b is located at (-8,4). what is the distance between the two points?

Acable company wants to provide cell phone service for residents on an island. the function for the cost of laying the cable from the island to the mainland is c(x)= 6.500 square root x2+4, where x represents the length of the cable in feet. what are the domain and range of the function? a) domain: all real numbers range: all real numbers greater than or equal to 17,000 b) domain: all real numbers greater than or equal to 0 range: all real numbers greater than or equal to 17,000 c) domain: all real numbers greater than or equal to 0 range: all real numbers greater than or equal to 13,000 d) domain: all real numbers greater than or equal to 13,000 range: all real numbers greater than or equal to 0

Lines b and c are parallel. what is the measure of 2? m2 = 31° m2 = 50° m2 = 120° m2 = 130°

Amachine that produces a special type of transistor (a component of computers) has a 2% defective rate. the production is considered a random process where each transistor is independent of the others. (a) what is the probability that the 10th transistor produced is the first with a defect? (b) what is the probability that the machine produces no defective transistors in a batch of 100? (c) on average, how many transistors would you expect to be produced before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (d) another machine that also produces transistors has a 5% defective rate where each transistor is produced independent of the others. on average how many transistors would you expect to be produced with this machine before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (e) based on your answers to parts (c) and (d), how does increasing the probability of an event a↵ect the mean and standard deviation of the wait time until success?
