In a certain corporation, there are 300 male employees and 100 female employees. It is known that 20% of the male employees have

advanced degrees and 40% of the females have advanced degrees. If one of the 400 employees is chosen at random, what is the probability this employee has an advanced degree or is female?A. 1/20B. 1/10C. 1/5D. 2/5E. 3/4

Answer:

A. 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

P(AD or F)  = probability of a person having an advanced degree + probability

                     of a person being female

                   = (20% of 300 + 40% of 100)/400 + 100/400

                   = (60+40)/400  + 100/400

                   =  1/2

For what values of a are the following expressions true?/a+5/=-5-a
katovenus [111]

Explanation:

The expression is given below as

|a+5|=-5-a

Concept:

We will apply the bsolute rule below

\begin{gathered} if|u|=a,a>0 \\ then,u=a,u=-a \end{gathered}

By applying the concept, we will have

\begin{gathered} \lvert a+5\rvert=-5-a \\ a+5=-5-a,a+5=5+a \\ a+a=-5-5,a-a=5-5 \\ 2a=-10,0=0 \\ \frac{2a}{2}=\frac{-10}{2},0=0 \\ a=-5,0=0 \end{gathered}

Hence,

The final answer is

a\leq-5

−2x=x2−6 Rewrite the equation by completing the square.
V125BC [204]

Answer:

(x + 1)² = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-2x = x² - 6

We'll start by rearranging it to solve for zero:

x² + 2x - 6 = 0

The first term is already a perfect square so that's fine.  Normally, if that term had a non-square coefficient, you would need to multiply all terms a value that would change that constant to a perfect square.

Because it's already square (1), we can simply move to the next step, separating the -6 into a value that can be doubled to give us the 2, the coefficient of the second term.  That value will of course be 1, giving us:

x² + 2x + 1 - 1 - 6 = 0

Now can group our perfect square on the left and our constants on the right:

x² + 2x + 1 - 7= 0

x² + 2x + 1 = 7

(x + 1)² = 7

To check our answer, we can solve for x:

x + 1 = ± √7

x = -1 ± √7

x ≈ 1.65, -3.65

Let's try one of those in the original equation:

-2x = x² - 6

-2(1.65) = 1.65² - 6

- 3.3 = 2.72 - 6

-3.3 = -3.28

Good.  Given our rounding that difference of 2/100 is acceptable, so the answer is correct.
