The answer would be 46 - This is because you would do 85/10 to find the ratio. Then you would get 8.5. You would take 8.5 then divide 391 by 8.5 getting 46.

Solve the equations.<br> a. (x − 2)^2 = 9<br> b. 3(x − 2)^2 = 9<br> c. 6 = 24(x + 1)^2
seropon [69]

Answer: a) x = 5 or -1 b) x = √3+2

c) x = -1/2 or -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

a) (x − 2)² = 9

First step is to take the square root of both sides to eliminate the square

√ (x − 2)² = √9

x-2 = +-3

x = +3+2

x = 5 and;

x = -3+2

x = -1

x = 5 or -1

b) 3(x-2)² = 9

First we divide both sides by 3 to get;

(x-2)² = 9/3

(x-2)² = 3

Second step is to take the square root of both sides to eliminate the square

√(x-2)² = √3

x-2 = √3

x = √3+2

c) 6 = 24(x+1)²

Dividing both sides by 24, we have

6/24 = (x+1)²

1/4 = (x+1)²

Taking the square root of both sides we have

√1/4 = √(x+1)²

= +-1/2 = x+1

x = +1/2-1 = -1/2 and;

x = -1/2-1 = -3/2

x = -1/2 or -3/2

The probability of event A is x, and the probability of event B is y. If the two events are independent, which of these conditio
zzz [600]

If two events are independent, then

Pr(A\cap B)=Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B).

Use formulas for conditional probabilities:

Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(B)},\\ \\ Pr(B|A)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(A)}.

For independent events these formulas will be:

Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(B)}=\dfrac{Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B)}{Pr(B)}=Pr(A),\\ \\ Pr(B|A)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(A)}=\dfrac{Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B)}{Pr(A)}=Pr(B).

Now in your case Pr(A)=x,\ Pr(B)=y and Pr(A|B)=x,\ Pr(B|A)=y, Pr(A\cap B)=x\cdot y.

This shows that the only correct choice is A.
