The ratio 9:7 gives you following statement:

Carl will win in 9 cases from 9+7=16;
Carl will lose in 7 cases from 16.

Then the probability that Carl will lose is

$Pr(\text{Carl will lose})=\dfrac{7}{16}.$

Answer: $Pr(\text{Carl will lose})=\dfrac{7}{16}.$

The pressure of a gas p(v) varies inversely with the volume of gas v. the pressure of a gas measures 8kg/cm^2 when its volume is

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since p and v vary inversely then the equation relating them is

p = $\frac{k}{v}$ ← k is the constant of variation

to find k use the condition p = 8 when v = 40

k = pv = 8 × 40 = 320

⇒ p(v) = $\frac{320}{v}$ → B

X^4-28x^2=0 solve algebraically

Paha777 [63]

$x^4 - 28x^2 = 0$

$x^2(x^2 - 28) = 0$

$x^2 = 0 \ \ or \ \ (x^2 - 28) = 0$

$x = 0 \ \ or \ \ x^2 = 28$

$x = 0 \ \ or \ \ x = \pm \sqrt{28}$

$x = 0 \ \ or \ \ x = \pm2 \sqrt{7}$

---------------------------------------------------
Answer : x = 0 or 2√7 or -2√7
