The answer goes up by 14 because the first problem equals 8 and the second problem equals --3 therefor the difference is 14

$3\cdot3^2-2\cdot5=27-10=17\\
2\cdot3^2-3\cdot5=18-15=3\\\\
17-3=14$

By 14.

Suppose the names of the months of the year are placed in a hat and a name is drawn at random. (a) list the sample space for thi

ollegr [7]

(a)

The sample space is a set whose elements are all the possible outcomes for the experiment. Since we will extract one of the months of the years, the sample space is the set composed by all the 12 months:

$\Omega = \{ \text{January},\ \text{February},\ldots,\text{December}\}$

(b)

An event is a subset of the sample space. Events are often defined by their properties. In this example, the event E is the subset of the sample space defined as

$E = \{ x \in \Omega: x \text{ starts with the letter J}\}$

So, we have

$E = \{\text{January},\ \text{June},\ \text{July}\}$

(c)

If all outcomes have equal probability, then the probability of an event is the ratio bewteen its cardinality, and the cardinality of the whole sample space:

$P(E) = \dfrac{n(E)}{n(\Omega)} = \dfrac{3}{12} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

In words, since there are three months beginning with J out of 12 months, we have a probability of 3 over 12 to pick a month starting with J, which simplifies to 1 over 4.

Which expression is equivalent to a2 + 2a – 8?

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a+4)(a-2)=a^2+2a-8

a*a=a^2

a*(-2)=-2a

a*4=4a

4*(-2)=-8

a^2-2a+4a-8=a^2+2a-8
