<u>ANSWER</u>

The zeros are x=-5,x=0,x=5


EXPLANATION

Given;

f(x)=x^4-25x^2.


We can rewrite the function as


f(x)=x^2(x^2-25)


\Rightarrow f(x)=x^2(x^2-5^2)


\Rightarrow f(x)=x^2(x-5)(x+5)



The zeros are found by equating the function to zero.


\Rightarrow x^2(x-5)(x+5)=0


\Rightarrow (x-5)=0

The multiplicity is 1, since it is odd the graph crosses at this intercept. which is x=5


Or

\Rightarrow (x+5)=0


The multiplicity is 1, since it is odd the graph crosses at this intercept. which is x=-5


Or


\Rightarrow x^2=0


This last root has a multiplicity of 2.

That is

x=0 repeats two times.


Since the multiplicity is even, the graph touches the x-axis at the point x=0.



See graph.

The probability of event A is x, and the probability of event B is y. If the two events are independent, which of these conditio
zzz [600]

If two events are independent, then

Pr(A\cap B)=Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B).

Use formulas for conditional probabilities:

Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(B)},\\ \\ Pr(B|A)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(A)}.

For independent events these formulas will be:

Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(B)}=\dfrac{Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B)}{Pr(B)}=Pr(A),\\ \\ Pr(B|A)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(A)}=\dfrac{Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B)}{Pr(A)}=Pr(B).

Now in your case Pr(A)=x,\ Pr(B)=y and Pr(A|B)=x,\ Pr(B|A)=y, Pr(A\cap B)=x\cdot y.

This shows that the only correct choice is A.
