<span>Step 1. Let x be the number and 1/x be its reciprocal.
Step 2. Then, since the sum of a number and its reciprocal is 25/12.
Step 3. Multiply 12x to both sides of the equation to get rid of the denominators.
Step 4. Subtract 25x to put the equation in quadratic form

Answer:
a. The probability that a customer purchase none of these items is 0.49
b. The probability that a customer purchase exactly 1 of these items would be of 0.28
Step-by-step explanation:
a. In order to calculate the probability that a customer purchase none of these items we would have to make the following:
let A represents suit
B represents shirt
C represents tie
P(A) = 0.22
P(B) = 0.30
P(C) = 0.28
P(A∩B) = 0.11
P(C∩B) = 0.10
P(A∩C) = 0.14
P(A∩B∩C) = 0.06
Therefore, the probability that a customer purchase none of these items we would have to calculate the following:
1 - P(A∪B∪C)
P(A∪B∪C) =P(A) + P(B) + P(C) − P(A ∩ B) − P(A ∩ C) − P(B ∩ C) + P(A ∩ B ∩ C)
= 0.22+0.28+0.30-0.11-0.10-0.14+0.06
= 0.51
Hence, 1 - P(A∪B∪C) = 1-0.51 = 0.49
The probability that a customer purchase none of these items is 0.49
b.To calculate the probability that a customer purchase exactly 1 of these items we would have to make the following calculation:
= P(A∪B∪C) - ( P(A∩B) +P(C∩B) +P(A∩C) - 2 P(A ∩ B ∩ C))
=0.51 -0.23 = 0.28
The probability that a customer purchase exactly 1 of these items would be of 0.28
Write f(x) / g(x) = 1 / ((x+1)(x-2)).
It's easy to see that x cannot be -1 and 2;
So all real numbers exclude -1 and 2, which matches the second choice.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply each side by 2
subtract 3 from each side
multiply each side by -1
