Find the probability P(E or F) if E and F are mutually exclusive, P(E)=0.30, and P(F)=0.45.

Since the probabilities are mutually exclusive, we know that they don't interact with eachother. If I were to contextualize this, say two events that depend on eachother were a venn diagram. We would see that to find P(A and B) or P(A or B) would require you to find the intersection between the two. In this case, the probabilities would be akin to a spinner. We see that the spinner has a few sections, A and B being part of them. P(A or B) would be the probability of picking either section, which would just be P(A) or P(B) while P(A and B) would be the product of the two sections based on the multiplication rule.

So, using this newfound information we can say that P(E or F) = P(E)+P(F)=.30+.45=.75

Write a quadratic equation whose solutions are 7i and -7i

aliya0001 [1]

Because -7i and 7i are the solutions to the quadratic equation, you can first write it in factored form (x-7i)(x+7i). The you multiply this out and get x^{2} +49.

How do you simplify slope?

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Sometimes this fraction can be further simplified by dividing the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor. ... Divide the numerator by this number. If the result is zero, the simplified slope of the line is also zero.

If f(x) = -5^x-4 an g(x) =-3x-2 find (f - g)(x)

Komok [63]

Answer:

hello : (f-g)(x) = -5^x +3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

(f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) = (-5^x-4) - (-3x-2) = -5^x-4 +3x+2

(f-g)(x) = -5^x +3x-2

Solve the problem: <br> 3(x-2)+5=3x-2

Tpy6a [65]

First, start by distributing the 3. The equation becomes:

3x-6+5=3x-2

Then, you can simplify the left side of the equation:

3x-1=3x-2

Next, subtract 3x from both sides in an effort to make the variable be on one side of the equation. Once you do this, you will end up with:

-1=-2

Since this is not true, if means that there are no solutions.

Hope this helps!
