Answer: Many people mistakenly give credit to Leonardo da Vinci for inventing scissors. Although da Vinci was brilliant, scissors were around for a long time before him. Some historians believe scissors were invented in the Middle East as long as 3,000-4,000 years ago.

Step-by-step explanation: Leonardo da Vinci

Scissors of the kind used today are believed to have been first made in 1 A.D in Rome. Some historians believe that Leonardo da Vinci is the inventor, for he had used it for cutting canvas. Although this view has not been widely accepted, Da Vinci helped to spread the popularity of scissors.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that, when two negative signs are directly next to each other, they mean addition. Note the rule:

A positive sign & A positive sign = Positive number.

A positive sign & A negative sign = Negative number.

A negative sign & A negative sign = Positive number.

In this case:

- (-15) = + 15

Simplify. Combine like terms:

15 + 15 = 30

30 is your answer.

If one factor of x2 + 2x - 24 is (x+6), what is the other factor?

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

( x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 2x - 24

From here, you must find the two factors of -24 (the first and third terms' coefficients multiplied together) that add up to 2 (the middle terms coefficient)

( x - 4) ( x + 6)

Approximately 5% of calculators coming out of the production lines have a defect. Fifty calculators are randomly selected from t

baherus [9]

Answer:

0.2611 = 26.11% probability that exactly 2 calculators are defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each calculator, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a calculator being defective is independent of any other calculator, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
