Answer:

If a + b = 0 then a = 0 and b =0

a  | b | a + b (answer)

0 | 0 | 0

0 | 1  | 1

0 | 2 | 2

1  | 0 | 1

2 | 0 | 2

1  | 1  | 2

2 | 1  | 3

 

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the following conditions for the real numbers:

a\geq 0\\b\geq 0

Following the rules of these in-equations, it is possible to deduce:

a + b \geq 0

Then, if the proposed statement is:

a + b = 0

The conditions above shall comply the requirements established, but first, analyzing the statement:

If a \geq 0 and b \geq 0 then a + b \geq a, a + b \geq b and a + b \geq 0.

If a = 0 and b a non negative real number, then a + b \geq b, but because to a = 0, then a + b = b. Due to the commutative property of sums, the same behavior will be presented if b = 0 and a a non negative real number.

According to that, if  a + b = 0, then a = 0 and b = 0.

What is 2 2/5×2 7/9 in simplest mixed number form?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

6 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/5 * 2 7/9

Change each number to an improper fraction

2 2/5 = (5*2+2)/5 = 12/5

2 7/9 = (9*2+7) = 25/9

12/5 * 25/9

Rewriting

25/5  * 12/9

5/1 * 4/3

20/3

Now changing to a mixed number

3 goes into 20 6 times with 2 left over

In the U.S., 95% of children have received their DTaP vaccine. Calculate the probability that fewer than 700 out of a sample of
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

0.0183

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of students, who received their DTaP vaccine is 95%.

This implies that:

p = 0.95

and

q = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

The standard deviation of the proportion is

=  \sqrt{ \frac{pq}{n} }

=  \sqrt{ \frac{0.95 \times 0.05}{750} }  \\  = 0.00796

We want to find the probability, that the sample proportion,

\hat p \leqslant  \frac{700}{750} \\    \hat p \leqslant  0.9 \bar3

P(\hat p\le0.9\bar3)=P(Z\le \frac{0.9 \bar3 - 0.95 }{0.00796} ) \\  = P(Z\le - 2.09) \\  = 0.0183
