Answer:

P(A ∩ B) = $\frac{11}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If P(A)=2/3, P(B)=4/5, and P(A U B) =11/15

we need to find out P(A ∩ B)

P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

Now we add P(A ∩ B) on both sides and subtract P(A U B) from both sides

P(A ∩ B) = P(A) + P(B)- P(A U B)

now we plug in the values

P(A ∩ B) = $\frac{2}{3} + \frac{4}{5} - \frac{11}{15}$

Make the denominators same . LCD is 15

P(A ∩ B) = $\frac{10}{15} + \frac{12}{15} - \frac{11}{15}$

P(A ∩ B) = $\frac{22}{15}-\frac{11}{15}$

P(A ∩ B) = $\frac{11}{15}$

The strength of a cable is proportional to the square of its diameter. If a 2-cm cable will support 800kg, how much will a 3-cm

xz_007 [3.2K]

Strength [is proportional to] d^2
strength1/(d1)^2 = strength2/(d2)^2
800kg/(2cm)^2 = strength2/(3cm)^2
strength2 = 800 kg * (3 cm)^2/(2 cm)^2
strength2 = 800 kg * 3^2/2^2
strength2 = 800 kg * 9/4
strength2 = 1800 kg

Which value, when placed in the box, would result in a system of equations with infinitely many solutions? y = -2x 4 6x 3y =

wariber [46]

The missing value is 12 in a system of equations with infinitely many solutions conditions.

It is given that in the system of equations there are two equations given:

$\rm y =n -2x+4\\\rm and \\\rm 6x+3y= ?$

It is required to find the missing value in the second equation.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

It is defined as the relation between two variables if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

We have equations:

$\rm y = -2x+4 ....(1)\\ \\\rm 6x+3y= ? ....(2)$

Let's suppose the missing value is 'Z'

We know that the two pairs of equations have infinitely many solutions if and if they have the same coefficients of variables and the same constant on both sides.

From equation (1)

$\rm y = -2x+4 \\\\\rm 2x+y=4$ (multiply both the sides by 3)
