P (x) is a polynomial. Here are a few values of P (x): P(-5)=-2 and P (5)=-1 What is the remainder when P(x) is divided by (x+5)

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

– 2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

P(x) = polynomial

P(–5) = – 2

P(5) = –1

Remainder when P(x) is divided by

(x + 5) =?

To obtain the remainder when P(x) is divided by (x + 5), we shall apply the reminder theorem as follow:

Let (x + 5) be equal to 0

(x + 5) = 0

x + 5 = 0

Subtract 5 from both side

x + 5 – 5 = 0 – 5

x = –5

Replace x in P(x) with –5 as shown below:

P(x) = polynomial

x = – 5

P(–5)

From the question given above,

P(–5) = – 2

Therefore, when P(x) is divided by

(x + 5), the remainder is – 2.

A student answers a multiple-choice examination question that offers four possible answers. Suppose the probability that the stu

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The value is $P(A | W) = 0.941$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The probability that the student knows the answer to the question is $P(A) = 0.8$

The probability that that the student will guess is $P(G) = 0.2$

The probability that that the student get the correct answer given that the student guessed is $P(W /G) = 0.25$

Here W denotes that the student gets the correct answer

Generally it a certain fact that if the student knows the answer he would get it correctly

So the probability the the student got answer given that he knows it is

$P(W | A) = 1$

Generally from Bayes theorem we can mathematically evaluate the probability that the student knows the answer given that he got it correctly as follows

$P(A | W) = \frac{ P(A) * P(W | A )}{ P(A) * P(W | A) + P(G) * P(W| G)}$

=> $P(A | W) = \frac{ 0.8 * 1}{ 0.8 * 1+ 0.2 * 0.25}$

=> $P(A | W) = 0.941$
