Answer:

We cannot calculate the probability that a randomly selected passenger weighs more than 200 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We cannot calculate the probability that a randomly selected passenger weighs more than 200 pounds because we do not know the number of possible outcomes, the events , sample space or the sample size. Probability is calculated with frequency or occurrences or how much certainty there is.It is a number between 0 and 1. 1 indicates certainty and 0 indicates impossibility. Without a range or frequency how can we depict the possibility or impossibility of an occurrence of 200 pounds.

Use the distrubutive property to simply 2(-5-7j)

prisoha [69]

Answer:

2(-5 - 7j) = -10 - 14j

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the distributive property means that we have to multiply both -5 and -7j by 2:

2(-5 - 7j)

⇒ 2 × -5 + 2 × -7j

⇒ -10 - 14j

HELP PLEASE!! I DONT UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH

Hello, please consider the following.

We will multiply the numerator and denominator by

$4+\sqrt{6x}$

to get rid of the root in the denominator.

First of all, we cannot divide by 0, right? So, we need to make sure that the denominator is different from 0.

$4-\sqrt{6x} =0\sqrt{6x}=4\\\\\text{Take the square}\\\\6x=4^2=16\\\\x=\dfrac{16}{6}=\dfrac{8}{3}$

We need to take any x real number different from 8/3 then and simplify the expression.

Let's do it!

$\begin{aligned}\dfrac{4}{4-\sqrt{6x}}&=\dfrac{4(4+\sqrt{6x})}{(4+\sqrt{6x})(4-\sqrt{6x})}\\\\&=\dfrac{4(4+\sqrt{6x})}{(4^2-\sqrt{6x}^2)}\\\\&=\dfrac{4(4+\sqrt{6x})}{(16-6x)}\\\\&=\dfrac{2(4+\sqrt{6x})}{(8-3x)}\\\\&\large \boxed{=\dfrac{8+2\sqrt{6x}}{8-3x}}\end{aligned}$

Thank you
