Answer:

-(x + 6)(x - 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that we have can also be expressed in the following way:

- (x ^ 2 - x - 42)

Now to factorize we must find two numbers that multiplied by -42 and the sum of these numbers by -1.

these numbers are: -7 and 6

-7 * 6 = -42

-7 + 6 = -1

Thus:

- (x + 6) (x - 7)

Suppose the probability that a softball player gets a hit in any single at-bat is 0.300. Assuming that her chance of getting a h

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

$P(X=4)=(1-0.3)^{4-1} 0.3 = 0.103$

The probability that she will not get a hit until her fourth time at bat in a game is 0.103

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The geometric distribution represents "the number of failures before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials. This discrete probability distribution is represented by the probability density function:"

$P(X=x)=(1-p)^{x-1} p$

Let X the random variable that measures the number os trials until the first success, we know that X follows this distribution:

$X\sim Geo (1-p)$

Solution to the problem

For this case we want this probability

$P(X=4)$

And using the probability mass function we got:

$P(X=4)=(1-0.3)^{4-1} 0.3 = 0.103$

The probability that she will not get a hit until her fourth time at bat in a game is 0.103

Write a multiplication sentence that shows the zero property of multiplication. Explain why it shows this property.

Aloiza [94]

Okay so the zero property of multiplication is anything times zero equals zero, so just use a number, multiply it times zero, and show what it equals (which is zero) explain that it shows the property because the variable is multiplied times zero.

Charles can do a job in 1 hour, bill can do the same job in 2 hours, and bob can do the job in 3 hours. How long does it take th

KiRa [710]

Charles can do the whole job in an hour, Bill can do 1/2 of the job in an hour, and Bob does 1/3 of the job in an hour. Therefore, they do a total of 1+1/2+1/3=11/6 of the job in an hour, meaning it takes them 6/11 of an hour. This is 6/11*60=360/11 minutes, or approximately 33 minutes.
