there are 16 socks in the drawer

probablility of 2 white socks  or  2 black socks

6/16 *5/15  + 10/16*9/15   no replacement on socks

30/240 + 90/240

120/240

1/2

|\Omega|=C(16,2)=\dfrac{16!}{2!14!}=\dfrac{15\cdot16}{2}=120\\|A|=C(6,2)+C(10,2)=\dfrac{6!}{2!4!}+\dfrac{10!}{2!8!}=\dfrac{5\cdot6}{2}+\dfrac{9\cdot10}{2}=15+45=60\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{60}{120}=\dfrac{1}{2}=50\%

Is a positive integer raised to a negative power always positive
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Many students gets confused with these exponential problems, they often get misguided but understand that there is nothing to be confused of.

When you have a negative number, you just take the reciprocal of the whole exponent number.

What is a reciprocal?

Let's take an integer for example, let's take the number 3.

The reciprocal for 3 is (1/3)

Let's take an other number, let's take 2/3

The reciprocal for 2/3 is (3/2)

In conclusion, we just reverse the denominator and the numerator or just switch it.

We take 3 as (3/1) and that is the reason, the reciprocal would be (1/3)

Now, coming to the negative integers. Taking an example:

(2)⁻¹

This would be become (1/2¹) = (1/2)

Hence, the result of a negative integer is positive but would be a fraction.

Hope I helped!

Consider the following polynomial functions.<br> f(a) = (2a - 7 + a?) and g(a) = (5 – a).
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

1 false

2 true

3 true

4 false

5 true

Step-by-step explanation:

f(a) = (2a - 7 + a^2) and g(a) = (5 – a).

1 false f(a) is a second degree polynomial and g(a) is a first degree polynomial

When added together, they will be a second degree polynomial

2. true  When we add and subtract polynomials, we still get a polynomial, so it is closed under addition and subtraction

3.  true  f(a) + g(a) = (2a - 7 + a^2) + (5 – a)

Combining like terms = a^2 +a -2

4.  false   f(a) - g(a) = (2a - 7 + a^2) - (5 – a)

Distributing the minus sign (2a - 7 + a^2) - 5 + a

Combining like terms  a^2 +3a -12

5.  true  f(a)* g(a)  = (2a - 7 + a^2)  (5 – a).

Distribute

                       (2a - 7 + a^2)  (5)  – (2a - 7 + a^2)  (a)

                        10a -35a +5a^2 -2a^2 -7a +a^3

Combining like term

-a^3 + 3 a^2 + 17 a - 35
