If A and B are mutually independent, then \mathbb P(A\cup B)=\mathbb P(A)+\mathbb P(B) and \mathbb P(A\cap B)=0.

If A and C are independent, then \mathbb P(A\cap C)=\mathbb P(A)\cdot\mathbb P(C). Ditto for B and C.

The inclusion/exclusion principle says that

\mathbb P(A\cup B\cup C)=\mathbb P(A)+\mathbb P(B)+\mathbb P(C)-\mathbb P(A\cap B)-\mathbb P(A\cap C)-\mathbb P(B\cap C)+\mathbb P(A\cap B\cap C)

Since A and B are mutually exclusive, their intersection is the empty set. It then follows that A\cap B\cap C also is the empty set, so the last probability is also 0.

Plug in what we know:

\mathbb P(A\cup B\cup C)=0.2+0.4+0.1-0-0.2\cdot0.1-0.4\cdot0.1+0

\implies\mathbb P(A\cup B\cup C)=0.64

For f(x) = x2 + 2x + 3, and g(x) = x2 + 5, Find F(g(2)).
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

f(g(2)) = 102

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) and f(g(2))

As we can see, we can find g(2) and substitute this value into

f(x)=x² + 2x + 3 instead of x.

g(x) = x² + 5,  g(2) = 2² + 5 = 9

f(x)=x² + 2x + 3

f(9)=9² + 2*9 + 3= 102

Line CD passes through points C(3, -5) and D(6, 0) . what is the equation of the line CD in standard form?​
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Option 2: 5x - 3y = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find slope

(0-(-5))/(6-3) = 5/3

Step 2: Find <em>b</em>

y = 5/3x + b

0 = 5/3(6) + b

b = -10

Step 3: Write in slope-intercept form

y = 5/3x - 10

Step 4: Move x over

-5/3x + y = -10

Step 5: Multiply by -3 on both sides

5x - 3y = 30

And we have our final answer!

Each line represents a proportional relationship. Write an equation for each line. Show your work.
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The equation of line a is y = x

The equation of line b is y =  \frac{2}{3} x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the proportional is y = m x, where

  • m is the slope of the line (constant of proportionality)

The rule of the slope of a line is m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} , where

  • (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line

∵ Line a passes through points (0, 0) and (3, 3)

∴ x1 = 0 and y1 = 0

∴ x2 = 3 and y2 = 3

→ Substitute them in the rule of the slope above

∵ m = \frac{3-0}{3-0}=\frac{3}{3}

∴ m = 1

→ Substitute in the form of the equation above

∴ y = (1)x

∴ y = x

∴ The equation of line a is y = x

∵ Line b passes through points (0, 0) and (3, 2)

∴ x1 = 0 and y1 = 0

∴ x2 = 3 and y2 = 2

→ Substitute them in the rule of the slope above

∵ m = \frac{2-0}{3-0}=\frac{2}{3}

∴ m = \frac{2}{3}

→ Substitute in the form of the equation above

∴ y = (\frac{2}{3}) x

∴ y =  \frac{2}{3} x

∴ The equation of line b is y =  \frac{2}{3} x

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (5, 3) and (-3,-1)?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

y=1/2x+1/2

m=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the two points:

(5,3) and (-3,-1).

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line...

The slope of a line is a measure of how fast the line "goes up" or "goes down". A large slope means the line goes up or down really fast (a very steep line). Small slopes means the line isn't very steep. A slope of zero means the line has no steepness at all; it is perfectly horizontal.

For lines like these, the slope is always defined as "the change in y over the change in x" or, in equation form:

So what we need now are the two points you gave that the line passes through. Let's call the first point you gave, (5,3), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1. Or, x1=5 and y1=3.

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (-3,-1), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2. Or, x2=-3 and y2=-1.

Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:

m=

-1 - 3 over

-3 - 5

or...

m=

-4 over

-8

or...

m=1/2

So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+b like this:

y=1/2x+b

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(5,3). When x of the line is 5, y of the line must be 3.

(-3,-1). When x of the line is -3, y of the line must be -1.

Because you said the line passes through each one of these two points, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: y=1/2x+b. b is what we want, the 1/2 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the two points (5,3) and (-3,-1).

So, why not plug in for x and y from one of our (x,y) points that we know the line passes through? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the two points you gave!.

You can use either (x,y) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(5,3). y=mx+b or 3=1/2 × 5+b, or solving for b: b=3-(1/2)(5). b=1/2.

(-3,-1). y=mx+b or -1=1/2 × -3+b, or solving for b: b=-1-(1/2)(-3). b=1/2.

See! In both cases we got the same value for b. And this completes our problem.

The equation of the line that passes through the points

(5,3) and (-3,-1)

is

y=1/2x+1/2
