Answer:

<h2>x = -2 or x = 5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula of a quadratic equation

ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\\text{If}\ b^2-4ac>0\ \text{then the equation has two solutions}\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

\text{If}\ b^2-4ac=0\ \text{then the equation has one solution}\ x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}

\text{If}\ b^2-4ac

We have:

x^2-3x-10=0\to a=1,\ b=-3,\ c=-10\\\\b^2-4ac=(-3)^2-4(1)(-10)=9+40=49>0\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-3)\pm\sqrt{49}}{2(1)}=\dfrac{3\pm7}{2}\\\\x=\dfrac{3-7}{2}=\dfrac{-4}{2}=-2\\or\\x=\dfrac{3+7}{2}=\dfrac{10}{2}=5

A survey of people on pizza preferences indicated that 55 percent preferred pepperoni only, 30 percent preferred mushroom only,
natka813 [3]

Answer:

C) Yes, because the joint probability of P and M is equal to 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, P represents the event that the selected person preferred pepperoni only.

And M represents the event that the selected person preferred mushroom only.

so, P and M are two mutually exclusive events because two events are mutually exclusive if they do not occur together.

Here, P and M cannot occur at same time.

so, the joint probability of P and M i.e) probability of both P and M to occur at same time is zero.
