Answer:
a) 0.06
b) 0.3
c) 0.44
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
A and B are two independent events.
P(A) = 0.3
P(B) = 0.2
a) P(A intersect B)
b) P(A|B)
c) P(A union B)
If -5/2 is a root of that 3rd degree polynomial, then when we do synthetic division on it we will get a remainder of 0, and the resulting numbers from our math will then become the coefficients to a new polynomial, one degree less than what we started with, called the depressed polynomial. Put -5/2 outside the "box" and the coefficients inside: -5/2 (2 7 1 -10). Bring down the 2 and multiply it by -5/2 to get -5. Put that -5 up under the 7 and add to get 2. Multiply that 2 by the -5/2 to get -5. Put that -5 up under the 1 and add to get -4. Multiply that by -5/2 and get 10. Put that 10 up under the -10 and add to get a remainder of 0. Those bolded numbers now are the coefficients of our new polynomial, one degree less than what we started with. That polynomial is 
. Now we need to factor that to find the other 2 roots to our polynomial. If we factor a 2 out we have 
,That factors easily to 2(x+2)(x-1). That gives us x+2=0 and x = -2, x-1=0 and x = 1. The 3 solutions or zeros or roots are -5/2, -2, 1. There you go!
