Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that if the Captain's ship has been hit, he will always miss and since the pirate is shooting first, the captain's ship could be hit. So the probability that both of them hit each other's ship is 0 because if the pirate hits the Captain's ship, he will always miss.  1/2 * 0 = 0

There is no way for both of them to hit each other's ships because if their ships have been hit, they will always miss.

Solve −x16+1≥−5x2, for x without multiplying by a negative number. Then, solve by multiplying through by −16.
dedylja [7]

Answer:

−1.13348172≤x≤1.13348172

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem

Add −5x2 to both sides of the inequality.

−x16 + 1 + 5x2≥0

Convert inequality to an equation.

−x16 + 1 + 5x2 = 0

Factor −x16 + 1 + 5x2

Set the factor equal to 00.

x16−5x2−1 = 0

x≈ − 1.13348172,1.13348172

so,

x≤ − 1,13348172

−1.13348172≤x≤1.13348172

x≥1.13348172

−1.13348172≤x≤1.13348172
