Answer:

Answer is 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Edward can distrubute pearls to 2 identical bags as fallows:

  • 2W for one bag and 2B for another bag. In this scenerio the probability of picking a black pearl is 1/2.
  • 1W and 1B for one bag and 1W and 1B for another bag. In this situation the probability of picking a black pearl is 1/2 × 1/2 is equal to 1/4
  • At the end, the sum of two scenerio is 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4

Given: f(x)=x^(2)-3 and g(x)=x+1 the composite function g*f is
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

<h2>x³ + x² - 3x - 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming g*f means g times f,  so you want to multiply the two functions together.  

(x² - 3)(x + 1)                 Since the product is 2 binomials, use FOIL

                      =  x²(x) + x²(1) - 3(x) - 3(1)

which simplifies to

<h2>x³ + x² - 3x - 3</h2>

What are the ordered pairs of the
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The two points solutions to the system of equations are: (2, 3) and (-1,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

These system of equations consists of a parabola and a line. We need to find the points at which they intersect:

x^2-2x+3=-x+5\\x^2-2x+x+3-5=0\\x^2-x-2=0\\(x-2)(x+1)=0

Since we were able to factor out the quadratic expression, we can say that the x-values solution of the system are:

x = 2 and x = -1

Now, the associated y values we can get using either of the original equations for the system. We pick to use the linear equation for example:

when x = 2 then  y=-(2)+5=3

when x= -1  then  y=-(-1)+5=6

Then the two points solutions to the system of equations are: (2, 3) and (-1,6)
