Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule for subtraction, in this case it is -5-3, you change the subtraction sign to addition and use the opposite of the second number, making it -5+(-3) which is -8. Then, you add 1 to -8, and the rule for this specific expression is to take the absolute value of both -8 and 1, then subtract the two, making the expression as of now 8-1. Subtract them, and get 7, but you take the sign of whichever number had the greatest absolute value, which was -8, so now the answer is -7. That's how you get your answer

-5-3+1= -5+(-3)+1

-8+1= |-8|-|1|

8-1= -7 (because you take the sign with the greatest absolute value, which is -8.)

1. A parachutist is 800 feet above the ground when she opens her parachute. She then falls at a constant rate of 5 feet per seco

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

h = -5*t +800

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value is 800 ft

She is falling at a rate of 5 ft per second

That would be -5ft/s

We can write this in the form

y = mx+b

h = -5*t +800 where t is the number of seconds and h is the height above ground

If A and B are independent events with P(A) = .5 and P(B) = .2, find the following:a) P(A U B)b) P(A^c ? B^c)c) P(A^c U B^c)**No

Effectus [21]

If A and B are independent, then $P(A\cap B)=P(A)P(B)$ .

$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A)P(B)$

$P(A\cup B)=0.5+0.2-0.5\cdot0.2$

$\boxed{P(A\cup B)=0.6}$

b. I'm guessing the ? is supposed to stand for intersection. We can use DeMorgan's law for complements here:

$P(A^c\cap B^c)=P(A\cup B)^c=1-P(A\cup B)$

$P(A^c\cap B^c)=1-0.6$

$\boxed{P(A^c\cap B^c)=0.4}$

c. DeMorgan's law can be used here too:

$P(A^c\cup B^c)=P(A\cap B)^c=1-P(A\cap B)=1-P(A)P(B)$

$P(A^c\cup B^c)=1-0.5\cdot0.2$

$\boxed{P(A^c\cup B^c)=0.9}$

robert buys a car for $8000. at the end of each year the value of the car has decreased by 10% of its value at the beginning of

kiruha [24]

So I believe you will have to do 10% x 7 as it has been seven years which will be 70% and 70% of 8000 is 5600 so the answer will be £5600

Answer:

C. It would be shifted up.

Step-by-step explanation:

We base it off the y-intercept. Since -7 is less than 1, and our new function has a positive y-intercept, it would indeed be shifted up.
