A) f(5)= 5^2 -2•5= 25-10=15
b) x^2 -2x-3=0
(x-3)(x+1)=0 so
x=3 and x=-1 are the solutions

Perimeter of a triangle is 27cm,if two sides measure 9cm and 7.8cm,find the measure of third side?

fredd [130]

Answer:

10.2cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides.

1st side: 9cm

2nd side: 7.8cm

Perimeter: 27cm

Perimeter = 1st + 2nd +3rd side of a triangle

27cm = 9cm +7.8cm + 3rd side

3rd side = 27cm - 9cm -7.8cm

= 10.2cm

lutik1710 [3]

Answer: $1-(\frac{364}{365})^n$

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability formula :-

$P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^x$ , where P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trials, n is the total number of trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

We assume that the total number of days in a particular year are 365.

Then , the probability for each employee to have birthday on a certain day :

$p=\dfrac{1}{365}$

Given : The number of employee in the company = n

Then, the probability there is at least one day in a year when nobody has a birthday is given by :-

$P(x\geq1)=1-P(x$

Hence, the probability there is at least one day in a year when nobody has a birthday = $1-(\frac{364}{365})^n$
