Consecutive integers are like 1, 2, and 3. They are in a row. Think about plugging numbers in for x. 1 and 1+2 are not consecutive, so A is not the answer. B and C don't start with x, so they aren't the answer. That leaves D, because it starts with x, then goes to x+1, and then to x+2. These are consecutive, because if x was 1, it would be 1, 2, 3.
The answer is D.
I hope this helps :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
9x - 4 + 5x + 16 = 180
14x + 12 = 180
14x = 168
x = 12
If A and B are equal:
Matrix A must be a diagonal matrix: FALSE.
We only know that A and B are equal, so they can both be non-diagonal matrices. Here's a counterexample:
![A=B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&2\\4&5\\7&8\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3DB%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1%262%5C%5C4%265%5C%5C7%268%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Both matrices must be square: FALSE.
We only know that A and B are equal, so they can both be non-square matrices. The previous counterexample still works
Both matrices must be the same size: TRUE
If A and B are equal, they are literally the same matrix. So, in particular, they also share the size.
For any value of i, j; aij = bij: TRUE
Assuming that there was a small typo in the question, this is also true: two matrices are equal if the correspondent entries are the same.
We are to find the Probability the someone buys a book that is paperback and fiction.
Let P(F) represents the event that the book is fiction and P(P) represents the event that the book is paperback. We are to find P(F∩P)
P(F∩P) = P(F) x P(P)
From the tree diagram we can see that:
P(F) = 0.45
P(P) = 0.65
Using the values, we get:
P(F∩P) = 0.45 x 0.65 = 0.2925
So, the Probability the someone buys a book that is paperback and fiction is 0.2925.
So, option B gives the correct answer
