Hello! :)

If you know the probability of an event occurring, it is easy to compute the probability that the event does not occur. If P(A) is the probability of Event A, then 1 - P(A) is the probability that the event does not occur.

So, it will be 1 - 3/8 = 5/8

5/8 or 62.5% of the probability of the event won’t occur.

Hope you understand and I hope I answered in time!

Good luck!

trapecia [35]

What are the instructions? If it just says to classify it, there is no degree, so it would be a binomial.

Here is a chart;

1 term = monomial. Example; 6x

2 terms = binomial. Example; 6x + 5

3 terms = Trinomial. Example; 6x + 5 + 2y

4 terms = polynomial of 4 terms. Example; 6x + 5 + 2y + 2x^3

Rzqust [24]

Answer: cost of 1 pot of ivy = $12

Cost of 1 rose bush =$ 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let rose bushes be represented as r

and pot of ivy be represented as p

such that Amy who spent 82 dollars on 7 rose bushes and 1 pot of ivy can be expressed as

7 r + p = 82----- eqn 1

Rob who spent 74 on 5 rose bushes and 2 pots of ivy can  be expressed as

5r +2 p = 74----- eqn 2

Step 2

Solving

7 r + p = 82----- eqn 1

5r +2 p = 74----- eqn 2

By elimination method Multiply eqn 1 by 5 and eqn 2 by 7

35r+ 5p= 410--- eqn 3

35r+ 14p =518--- eqn 4

Subtracting eqn 4 from eqn 3

9p = 108

p = 108/9

p=12

p = pot of ivy = $12

therefore rose bush  wll be ( from equation 1)

7r+ p= 82

7r=82-12

7r= 70 r= 70/7

r= rose bush =$ 10

What is the curve : y= -2x
arsen [322]

The curve is a linear equation.

<h3>What type of curve is the given equation?</h3>

It is actually a linear equation, meaning that this is a straight line, not a an actual "curve".

To view the "shape" of the curve, you need to graph it.

You could use a program or do it by hand, to do it by hand, you need to evaluate a lot of points of the equation, and then graph them to see the general behavior of the equation.

In this case, I graphed it with a program, and in the image, you can see that this is a linear equation that decreases as the variable increases.
