Answer: 40%
=========================================
Work Shown:
"given that it's a senior" is an important piece of info that tells us to only focus on the "seniors" column. The word "given" is an indication that we know this information 100%
There are 5 seniors (2+3 = 5) and 2 of them are male. So 2/5 = 0.40 = 40% of the seniors are male. The probability of selecting a male, if we know this person is a senior, is 40%
<u> Equation:</u>
x(x - 5) + 3(x + 5)
<u>Steps:</u>
x(x - 5) + 3(x + 5)
<u>Expand:</u>
x(x - 5 ): x^2 - 5x
x^2 - 5x + 3(x + 5)
<u>Expand:</u>
3(x + 5): 3x + 15
x^2 - 5x + 3x + 15
<u>Add Similar Elements: </u>
-5x + 3x
= -2x
Answer x^2 - 2x + 15 Doesn't Factor
Hope that helps!!! : )
Answer:

Answer:
In the given figure the point on segment PQ is twice as from P as from Q is. What is the point? Ans is (2,1).
Step-by-step explanation:
There is really no need to use any quadratics or roots.
( Consider the same problem on the plain number line first. )
How do you find the number between 2 and 5 which is twice as far from 2 as from 5?
You take their difference, which is 3. Now splitting this distance by ratio 2:1 means the first distance is two thirds, the second is one third, so we get
4=2+23(5−2)
It works completely the same with geometric points (using vector operations), just linear interpolation: Call the result R, then
R=P+23(Q−P)
so in your case we get
R=(0,−1)+23(3,3)=(2,1)
Why does this work for 2D-distances as well, even if there seem to be roots involved? Because vector length behaves linearly after all! (meaning |t⋅a⃗ |=t|a⃗ | for any positive scalar t)
Edit: We'll try to divide a distance s into parts a and b such that a is twice as long as b. So it's a=2b and we get
s=a+b=2b+b=3b
⇔b=13s⇒a=23s
