Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Intersections on the x axis occur when y = 0. f(x) is another term for y, so set f(x) equal to zero and solve for the two possible x's.
0 = x^2 - 3x - 40
0 = (x-8)(x+5)
By solving for x, you get 8 and -5. 8 and -5 added together will equal 3.
Recall that exponents are a way of representing repeated multiplication. For example, the notation 54 can be expanded and written as 5 • 5 • 5 • 5, or 625. And don’t forget, the exponent only applies to the number immediately to its left, unless there are parentheses.
What happens if you multiply two numbers in exponential form with the same base? Consider the expression (23)(24). Expanding each exponent, this can be rewritten as (2 • 2 • 2) (2 • 2 • 2 • 2) or 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 • 2. In exponential form, you would write the product as 27. Notice, 7 is the sum of the original two exponents, 3 and 4.
What about (x2)(x6)? This can be written as (x • x)(x • x • x • x • x • x) = x • x • x • x • x • x • x • x or x8. And, once again, 8 is the sum of the original two exponents.
Answer:
A- 0.125
B- Success of climbing mount Everest is independent of age.
Step-by-step explanation:
A.
Let x denote success in climbing Mount Everest
Let y denote the climber is at least 60 years old.
Therefore,
P(x) = 0.31
P(y) = 0.04
P( x ∩ y) = 0.005
Probability of success when the climber is at least 60 years old =
P( x ∩ y) ÷ P(y) = 0.005 ÷ 0.04 = 0.125.
B.
The success rate is independent of age as there are both success and failure rates across board on the scale of ages of climbers.
$1.25p = a
I believe that is how you would formulate it.
1.25 multiplied by the amount of pounds purchased (p) equals (=) the total cost of apples (a)
