1 ft= 12 inches
1/2 ft= 6 inches

=3 1/2 feet - 6 inches
substitute # of inches in for 1/2 foot
=3 ft 6 inches - 6 inches
=3 feet

ANSWER: 3 feet

Hope this helps! :)

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

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

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

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

Is x-2 a factor of 4x^5 +5x^4 +1?

nordsb [41]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Factor theorem

If (x - h) is a factor of f(x) then f(h) = 0

Here (x - 2) with h = 2 and f(x) = 4 $x^{5}$ + 5 $x^{4}$ + 1 , then

f(2) = 4 $(2)^{5}$ + 5 $(2)^{4}$ + 1

= 4(32) + 5(16) + 1

= 128 + 80 + 1

= 209

Since f(2) ≠ 0 then ( x - 2) is not a factor
