Answer:

\mathbf{ 0.6 \times 0.5 = 0.3 }

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M denote the event that the stock makes money and D denote the event that the stock pays dividends.

It is given that P(M) = 0.6

Observe that the two events M and D are not independent because if the stock doesn't make money then it will not pay dividends. Therefore the event D | M^{c} (D given M does not occur) is a null event, i.e

P(D|M^{c}) = 0

It is also given that,

P(D|M) = 0.5

Recall that : P(D|M) = \frac{P(D \cap M)}{P(M)}

Here, we are required to find P(D \cap M)

P(D \cap M) =P(D|M) \times P(M)= 0.5 \times 0.6 = 0.3

PLEASE HELP!!!<br> If f(x) = -2x^2 + x - 5, what is f(3)?
kow [346]

Answer:

  • <u>f(3) = -10</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  • f(x) = -2x² + x - 5

<u>Solving</u>

  • To find f(3), substitute x = 3 in the function
  • ⇒ f(3) = -2(3)² + (3) + 5
  • ⇒ f(3) = -2(9) + 8
  • ⇒ f(3) = -18 + 8
  • ⇒ <u>f(3) = -10</u>

The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p) has a gradient of -1/2. <br><br> Fnd the value of p
makkiz [27]

Given:

The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p) has a gradient of -\dfrac{1}{2}.

To find:

The value of p.

Solution:

If a line passes through two points, then the slope of the line is:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p). So, the slope of the line is:

m=\dfrac{p-5}{2-(-2)}

m=\dfrac{p-5}{2+2}

m=\dfrac{p-5}{4}

It is given that the gradient or slope of the line is -\dfrac{1}{2}.

\dfrac{p-5}{4}=-\dfrac{1}{2}

On cross multiplication, we get

2(p-5)=-4(1)

2p-10=-4

2p=-4+10

2p=6

Divide both sides by 2.

p=3

Therefore, the value of p is 3.

Quadratic equations w complex roots <br> x2 - 6x + 12 = 0
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

x = 3 ± i \sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 6x + 12 = 0 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

x² - 6x = - 12

Using the method of completing the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 = - 12 + 9

(x - 3)² = - 3 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 3 = ± \sqrt{-3} = ± i \sqrt{3} ( add 3 to both sides )

x = 3 ± i \sqrt{3}
