Hey is anyone else bored and just want to talk to someone

Factor completely. x^8 - 1/81 a) (x^4 + 1/9)(x^2 + 1/3)(x^2 - 1/3) b) (x^4 - 1/9)(x^2 + 1/3)(x^2 - 1/3) c) (x^4 + 1/9)(x^2 - 1/3)2

Find the missing dimension! need asap! tiny square is a =3025 in ²

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?
