Answer:

0.095 or 9.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Puncture → P(P) = 0.06

Smashed corner → P(S) = 0.04

Puncture and smashed corner → P(P and S) = 0.005

The probability that a randomly selected carton has a puncture or a smashed corner is given by the probability of a puncture, added to the probability of a smashed corner, subtracted by the probability of both:

P(P\ or\ S) =P(P)+P(S) - P(P\ and\ S)\\P(P\ or\ S) =0.06+0.04-0.005\\P(P\ or\ S) =0.095=9.5\%

The probability is 0.095 or 9.5%.

Graph f(x)=-2x^2-12x-21
ELEN [110]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the vertex. The x coordinate is -b/2a, or 12/-4=-3. Plug this back in to get -18+36-21 or -3, so the vertex is (-3, -3). Now, slowly make the x -2, -1, 0, 1, on and on. Because parabolas are symmetric along the vertex, they will have the same values as -4, -5, -6, on and on.
