Answer:
10/25
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 = x/25
We need to multiply the bottom by 5 to get to 25
5*5 = 25
What we to the bottom, we do the the top
2/5 * 5/5 = 10/25
First, factor out a 3.
3(x² - 9)
In any quadratic ax² + bx + c, we can split the bx term up into two new terms which we want to equal the product of a and c.
In this case, we have x² + 0x - 9. (the 0x is a placeholder)
We want two numbers that add to 0 and multiply to get -9.
Obviously, these numbers are 3 and -3.
Now we have 3(x² + 3x - 3x - 9).
Let's factor.
3(x(x+3)-3(x+3))
<u>3(x-3)(x+3)</u>
There are multiple shortcuts which you could make here, FYI:
Instead of splitting the middle, if your a value is 1, you can go straight to that step (x+number)(x+other number).
Whenever you have a difference of squares, like a²-b², that factors to (a+b)(a-b).
Answer: P = 0.125 = 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that he has a blue coat and a black coat.
If he dresses at random, then the probability of getting the blue coat is equal to the quotient between the number of blue coats (1) and the total number of coats (2).
Then the probability is:
p = 1/2
We also know that he has blue pants and brown pants, the probability of getting at random the blue pants is calculated in the same way than above, then:
q = 1/2
And for the shirt he has a blue shirt and a red one, the probability of randomly selecting the blue one is calculated in the same way than above, then:
k = 1/2
Now, the joint probability (he selects all blue clothes) is equal to the product of the individual probabilities:
P = p*q*k = (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2) = 1/8 = 0.125
