Please double check to ensure that y ou have copied the original problem correctly. <span>x^2-x-12 x 2 − x − 12. What do you mean by -12 x 2? Perhaps you meant -12x^2?

Just suppose that you meant -12x^2. Then your expression becomes

</span><span>x^2-x-12x^2 − x − 12 and this simplifies to -11x^2-2x -12. Not easy to factor!

So, once again, please ensure that you have copied down this problem exactly as it was given in your assignment.</span>

Find the surface area of the regular pyramid.

spayn [35]

Answer:

Answer = 93.6

Step-by-step explanation:

frist multipy 9 x 13 to get 117 than divided it by 2 = 58.5, than times it by 3 since there is three sides.

(58.5 x 3 is 175.5)

Than for the base multipy 7.8 x 9 = 70.2, but since its a tri, divided it by 2 = 35.1.

Add 58.5 and 35.1 to get 93.6

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

4.8(x)+1.2(y)=2.4

9.6 + 1.2y = 2.4

subtract 9.6 from both sides

1.2y = - 7.2

divide by 1.2 on both sides

y = -6

I think this is your question right????

There are three power plants [X, Y, Z] that at any given time each one either generates electricity or idles. Event A is that pl

insens350 [35]

We're told that

$P(A\cap B)=0.15$

$P(A\cup B)^C=0.06\implies P(A\cup B)=0.94$

$P(B\mid A)=P(B^C\mid A)=0.5$

where the last fact is due to the law of total probability:

$P(A)=P(A\cap B)+P(A\cap B^C)$

$\implies P(A)=P(B\mid A)P(A)+P(B^C\mid A)P(A)$

$\implies 1=P(B\mid A)+P(B^C\mid A)$

so that $B\mid A$ and $B^C\mid A$ are complementary.

By definition of conditional probability, we have

$P(B\mid A)=P(B^C\mid A)$

$\implies\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}=\dfrac{P(A\cap B^C)}{P(A)}$

$\implies P(A\cap B)=P(A\cap B^C)$

We make use of the addition rule and complementary probabilities to rewrite this as

$P(A\cap B)=P(A\cap B^C)$

$\implies P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B^C)-P(A\cup B^C)$

$\implies P(B)-[1-P(A\cup B)^C]=[1-P(B)]-P(A\cup B^C)$

$\implies2P(B)=2-[P(A\cup B)^C+P(A\cup B^C)]$

$\implies2P(B)=[1-P(A\cup B)^C]+[1-P(A\cup B^C)]$

$\implies2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+P(A\cup B^C)^C$

$\implies2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+P(A^C\cap B)\quad(*)$

By the law of total probability,

$P(B)=P(A\cap B)+P(A^C\cap B)$

$\implies P(A^C\cap B)=P(B)-P(A\cap B)$

and substituting this into $(*)$ gives

$2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+[P(B)-P(A\cap B)]$

$\implies P(B)=P(A\cup B)-P(A\cap B)$

$\implies P(B)=0.94-0.15=\boxed{0.79}$
