Answer:

11/25 The right answer is not a part of the options given.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Probability that event M will not occur = 0.8

Probability that event R will not occur = 0.6

Then the ;

Probability that event M will occur = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2

Probability that event R will occur = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4

If events M and R cannot both occur, probability that either event M or event R will occur

=  probability that M occurs and R does not or the probability that R occurs and M does not

= 0.2 × 0.6 + 0.4 × 0.8

= 0.12 + 0.32

= 0.44

= 11/25

You have a lot of questions here, I can help you with a few of them.

When you simplify the polynomials, you put together all of the terms that have the same degree. That means the variables have the same exponents. The number of terms are the items separated by plus and minus signs.

Here are the answers for the first three:


1) 8x^3+2x^2-3x+9


2)  4w^2 + 14w + 17

3)  -3x^3+9x^2 +3x

Between 10 P.M. and 7:54 A.M.​, the water level in a swimming pool decreased by 11/40 . Assuming that the water level decreased
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

It approximately dropped 0.027777 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we calculate the decrease.

Decrease = 11/40 = 0.275

Then,  we calculate the time interval.

From 10 pm to 7:54 hours will be 9.54 hours

Time interval= (9 + 54/60) hours

Time interval=9.9 hours

Finally, we calculate how much it dropped each hour

0.275/9.9 ≈ 0.027777

So it approximately dropped 0.027777 per hour.

*EASY POINTS!*
Gekata [30.6K]

If you need to, you can write and solve an equation for the factor you seek.

... 6×10^10 = factor × 2×10^-3

Divide by 2×10^-3 to find the value of the factor:

... (6×10^10)/(2×10^-3) = factor

... factor = (6/2)×10^(10-(-3))

... factor = 3×10^13

The first number is 3×10^13 times the second number.

_____

An exponent signifies repeated multiplication.

... 10×10×10 = 10³

Just as you cancel common factors when you do division, you can subtract exponents.

\dfrac{10\cdot 10\cdot 10}{10\cdot 10}=\dfrac{10}{1}=10\\\\\dfrac{10^3}{10^2}=10^{3-2}=10^1=10

The same process works regardless of the signs of the exponents. When multiplying, we add exponents; when dividing we subtract the exponent of the denominator.
