Answer:3/28; Neither means NOT basketball AND not baseball

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Using set notation to answer the question,

Let U be universal set(total number of student)

B be those that play basketball

C be those that play baseball

BUC be those that plays either of the games

(BUC)' will them be those that play neither

BnC be those that plays both games

(U) = 28

n(B) = 5

n(C) = 21

Before we get the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays both basketball and baseball, we need to get BnC first

Using the formula

n(BUC)=n(B) + n(C) -n(BnC)...(1) and;

n(U)= n(BUC)+ n(BUC)'...(2)

n(BUC)= n(U) - n(BUC)'

n(BUC) = 28-5 = 23

Therefore using eqn 1,

23= 5+21-n(BnC)

23=26-n(BnC)

n(BnC)= 3

P{n(BnC)} = n(BnC)/n(U)= 3/28

b) Neither means NOT basketball AND not baseball i.e those that played NONE of the games.

Simplify this 13.) 13y² + 9y + 4y² - 31y
erastova [34]

Answer: 17y^2-22y

Step-by-step explanation:

13y^2+9y+4y^2-31y

\mathrm{Group\:like\:terms}

=13y^2+4y^2+9y-31y

\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:13y^2+4y^2=17y^2

=17y^2+9y-31y

\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:9y-31y=-22y

=17y^2-22y

Solve this problem???​
Svetllana [295]

The denominator of the first term is a difference of squares, such that

4<em>a</em> ² - <em>b</em> ² = (2<em>a</em>)² - <em>b</em> ² = (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)

So you can write the fractions as

(4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²)/((2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)) - (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>)/(2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)

Multiply through the second fraction by 2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em> to get a common denominator:

(4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²)/((2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)) - (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>)²/((2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>))

((4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²) - (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>)²) / ((2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>))

Expand the numerator:

(4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²) - (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>)²

(4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²) - (4<em>a</em> ² - 4<em>ab</em> + <em>b</em> ²)

4<em>ab</em>

<em />

So the original expression reduces to

4<em>ab</em> / ((2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>))

or

4<em>ab</em> / (4<em>a</em> ² - <em>b</em> ²)

upon condensing the denominator again.
