Answer: Probability that both the pirate and the Captain hit each other's ships is \frac{1}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

Probability that the captain hits the pirate ship is given by

\frac{4}{9}

Probability that the pirate hits the Captains's ship is given by

\frac{1}{4}

So, we have to find the "Probability that both the pirate and the Captain hit each other's ship"  is given by

P(\text{Captain hits})\times P(\text{ Pirates hit})\\\\=\frac{4}{9}\times \frac{1}{4}\\\\=\frac{1}{9}

Hence, probability that both the pirate and the Captain hit each other's ships is \frac{1}{9}

Helppp!! I NEED HELP PLEASE
Elodia [21]

Given:

The table of values for the function f(x).

To find:

The values f^{-1}(f(3.14)) and f(f(-7)).

Solution:

From the given table, it is clear that the function f(x) is defined as:

f(x)=\{(-14,11),(-7,-12),(-12,-5),(9,1),(10,-2),(-2,13)\}

We know that if (a,b) is in the function f(x), then (b,a) must be in the function f^{-1}(x). So, the inverse function is defined as:

f^{-1}(x)=\{(11,-14),(-12,-7),(-5,-12),(1,9),(-2,10),(13,-2)\}

And,

f^{-1}(f(a))=f^{1}(b)

f^{-1}(f(a))=a              ...(i)

Using (i), we get

f^{-1}(f(3.14))=3.14

Now,

f(f(-7))=f(-12)

f(f(-7))=5

Therefore, the required values are f^{-1}(f(3.14))=3.14 and f(f(-7))=5.

Write using exponential notation?<br> 5.5.2.2.2.2
inna [77]

Answer:

5 ^{2}  \times 2^{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying 5 by itself is the same thing as raising it to the second power:

5 \times 5 = {5}^{2}  = 25

We multiply 2 by itself two seperate times. That's the same thing as raising 2 to the second power to the second power or in simpler terms raising two to the fourth power:

2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 = {({2}^{2})}^{2}  =  {2}^{4}  = 16

Since only multiplication is present, we can combine the two terms to get:

5^{2}  \times  {2}^{4}
