We use the properties of equality to rewrite equations and solve equations for a variable. These properties allow us to maintain a balance between the two sides of the equation. Why is it important to keep the two sides of an equation balanced when solving? What other properties do we use to rewrite expressions and equations?

One expression below in undefined, and the other expression has a well defined value. which expression is undefined and explain why it has no value. which expression is defined? what is the value of that expression and how do you know? what is a different expression using a trig inverse function that is also undefined?

An optical inspection system is used to distinguish among different part types. the probability of a correct classification of any part is 0.92. suppose that three parts are inspected and that the classifications are independent. let the random variable x denote the number of parts that are correctly classified. determine the probability mass function of x. round your answers to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654). x f(x) 0 1 2 3

A33 gram sample of a substance that's used to detect explosives has a k-value of 0.1473. n = noekt no = initial mass (at time t = 0) n = mass at time t k = a positive constant that depends on the substance itself and on the units used to measure time t = time, in days
