Answer:

The probability that a student plays either basketball or soccer is 19% or 0.19.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that student play basketball and  B be the event that student play soccer.

P(A)=8\%

P(B)=14\%

It is given that 6 students play on both teams.

P(A\cap B)=\frac{6}{200}\times 100=3\%

We have to find the probability that a student plays either basketball or soccer.

P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-(A\cap B)

P(A\cup B)=8\%+14\%-3\%

P(A\cup B)=19\%

Therefore the probability that a student plays either basketball or soccer is 19% or 0.19.

Given that α and β are the roots of the quadratic equation <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2x%5E%7B2%7D%20%2B6x-7%3Dp" id="Tex
siniylev [52]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\sf \ \ \ p=-11 \ \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

\alpha \text{ and } \beta \text{ are the roots of the following equation}

   2x^2+6x-7=p

It means that

   2\alpha^2+6\alpha-7=p \\\\2\beta ^2+6\beta -7=p \\\\

And we know that

\alpha= 2\cdot \beta

So we got two equations

   2(2\beta)^2+6\cdot 2 \cdot \beta -7=p \\\\8\beta^2+12\beta -7=p\\\\ and \ 2\beta ^2+6\beta -7=p \ So \\\\\\8\beta^2+12\beta -7 = 2\beta ^2+6\beta -7\\\\6\beta^2+6\beta =0\\\\\beta(\beta+1)=0\\\\ \beta =0 \ or \ \beta=-1

For \beta =0, \ \ \alpha =0, \ \ p = -7

For \beta =-1, \ \ \alpha =-2, \ \ p= 2-6-7=-11, \ p=2*4-12-7=-11

I assume that we are after two different roots so the solution for p is p=-11

b) \alpha +2 =-2+2=0 \ and \ \beta+2=-1+2=1

So a quadratic equation with the expected roots  is

x(x-1)=x^2-x

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

Write the following probability as a percentage 3/5
cupoosta [38]
Hi there,

The percentage of 3/5 would be %60

3/5
3x20=60
5x20=100


Now you have 60/100, turn that into a percentage and you have %60.

Find the area of a regular nonagon with a side length of 7 and an apothem of 5
vitfil [10]
A NONA=9, nonagon has 9 sides, so it's perimeter is 7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7, or 63, and we know the apothem.

bearing in mind that the area of a regular polygon is 
(1/2)ap   a = apothem, p = perimeter

so in this case that'd be (1/2)(5)(63).

What is 5( x - 3 ) = 5x - 15?
Volgvan

\tt5( x - 3 ) = 5x - 15 \\  \tt5x - 15 = 5x - 15 \\ \tt5x - 5x =  - 15 + 15 \\ \tt\bcancel{5x} - \bcancel{5x} =  \bcancel{- 15} + \bcancel{15} \\ \boxed{\tt0 = 0}

  • The answer is <u>0</u><u>.</u>
  • LHS = RHS, hence verified.

<u>Value of x (substitute 0 in the place of x).</u>

\tt5( (0) - 3 ) = 5(0) - 15 \\  \tt0 - 15 = 0 - 15 \\  \tt \boxed{\tt -15 = -15}

  • So, value of x is <u>0</u><u>.</u>
