7 0

You can make it easier by replacing x^n with another variable, factoring, then putting x^n back in the end.

Using exponent and algebra rules, rewrite x^2n - 2x^n + 1 as
(x^n)^2 - (2 x x^2) + 1

Then, let x^n = m.

m^2 - 2m + 1

Now factor that: (m - 1)^2

And now put x^n back: (x^n - 1)^2

PLEASE HELP ME GRAPH THIS

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{(12,80),(10,65)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The line given has a slope of 7.5 and a point at (12, 80)

Because of the slope, simply subtract 2 from the x and subtract 15 from the y to get another point, at (10, 65)

Thus, simply put your points at (10, 65) and (12, 80)

Hope it helps and let me know if you want me to elaborate.

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

0.0286 or 2.86%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people that have werewolfism is 21,000.

Of those 21,000, 600 also have vampirism, while the remaining 20,400 do not. Therefore, the probability that someone has vampirism, given that they have werewolfism is:

$P(V|W)=\frac{N_{V\cap W}}{N_W}\\P(V|W)=\frac{600}{21,000} \\P(V|W)=0.0286=2.86\%$

The probability is 0.0286 or 2.86%.
