What is the leading coefficient of the polynomial f(x) defined below?

Given the quadratic function f(x)=3x^2-24x+49 a. use “completing the squares” to convert the quadratic function into vertex form b. state the vertex c. find the x and y intercepts d. graph the function

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?

Rewrite the equation x = 65 - 60p by factoring the side that contains the variable p.
