Suppose that two electronic components in the guidance system for a missile operate independently and that each has a length of life governed by the exponential distribution with mean 1 (with measurements in hundreds of hours). Find the probability density function for the average length of life of the two components.

This is a rational expression because the denominator contains a variable. this is a polynomial with 3 terms. this is a rational expression because the denominator contains a variable. this is a polynomial with 4 terms. this is a rational expression because the denominator contains a variable. this is a polynomial with 4 terms. this is a rational expression because the denominator contains a variable. this is a polynomial with 3 terms. this is a rational expression because the denominator contains a variable. this is a polynomial with 5 terms.
