Answer:

a² +3ab - 5ab - 15b² = (a+3b) (a-5b)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factorize a² +3ab - 5ab - 15b². Firstly we need to rearrange the expression such that,

$a^2-5ab+3ab-15b^2=(a^2-5ab)+(3ab-15b^2)$

Now taking a common from the first two terms and 3b from last two terms, then :

$(a^2-5ab)+(3ab-15b^2)=a(a-5b)+3b(a-5b)$

In the above expression, a factor (a-5b) is in both the terms. It would mean that,

$a(a-5b)+3b(a-5b)=(a+3b)(a-5b)$

So, the factors of a² +3ab - 5ab - 15b² are (a+3b) (a-5b).

A sales manager for an advertising agency believes that there is a relationship between the number of contacts that a salesperso

serg [7]

Using variable concepts, of dependent and independent variables, it is found that the dependent variable is the amount of sales dollars earned.

<h3>What is the relation between a function and the dependent and independent variables?</h3>

A function has the following format: y = f(x).

In which each value of y is a function of one value of x, and thus, <u>x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable</u>.

That is, the input of the function is the independent variable and the output is the dependent variable.

In this problem, the manager believes that the amount of sales dollars earned is a function of the number of contacts that the salesperson makes, hence:

The number of contacts is the independent variable.

The amount of sales dollars earned is the dependent variable.

Cards are dealt, one at a time, from a standard 52-card deck. a if the first 2 cards are both spades, what is the probability th

ratelena [41]

So we already drew two cards and both of them are spades. So that means there are 50 cards and 11 spades left.

Then third card being spades would be 11 / 50

Now there are 10 spades and 49 cards left.
So the probability for fourth card would be 10 / 49

Fifth card would be 9 / 48.

So the probability of next three cards being spades would be
$\dfrac{11}{50}\cdot\dfrac{10}{49}\cdot\dfrac9{48}=\dfrac{33}{3920}\approx\boxed{0.00842}$

Hope this helps.
