Answer:

P(A&B) = 0.4

Explanation:

Because it is a random process and there are no special constraints the probability for everybody is the same, the probability of choosing a particular site is 1/7, the person originally seated in chair number seven has 5/7 chance of not seating in chair number six and seven, the same goes for the person originally seated in chair number six; Because we want the probability of the two events happening, we want the probability of the intersection of the two events, and because the selection of a chair change the probability for the others (Dependents events) the probability P(A&B) = P(A) * P(B/A) where P(A) is 5/7 and the probability of choosing the right chair after the event A is 4/7, therefore, P(A&B) = 4/7*5/7 = 0.4.

If the events were independent the probability would be 0.51.

if the zeroes of the polynomial, p(x)= ax^3 + 3bx^2 + 3cx + d = 0 be alpha - beta, alpha and alpha + beta. Prove that 3abc = a^2
swat32

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = ax³ + 3bx² + 3cx + d

Roots are α−β, α, and α+β.

The sum of the roots of a cubic y = ax³ + bx² + cx + d is -b/a.  Therefore:

α−β + α + α+β = -3b/a

3α = -3b/a

α = -b/a

α is a root, so p(α) = 0.

0 = a(α)³ + 3b(α)² + 3c(α) + d

Substitute α = -b/a:

0 = a(-b/a)³ + 3b(-b/a)² + 3c(-b/a) + d

0 = -(b³/a²) + 3b³/a² − 3bc/a + d

0 = -b³ + 3b³ − 3abc + a²d

0 = 2b³ − 3abc + a²d

3abc = 2b³ + a²d

12 = .75 * what

divide each side by .75

12/.75 = .75 * what /.75

5x(6x+28)=-23 <br><br>Help I don't understand
aksik [14]

Answer:

Solve the equation for  x  by finding  a,  b, and  c  of the quadratic then applying the quadratic formula.


Exact Form:


x  =  −  70  ±  √4210/30


Decimal Form:


x  =  −0.03


Step-by-step explanation:

5x(6x+28)=−23


Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.


30x2+140x=−23


Step 2: Subtract -23 from both sides.


30x2+140x−(−23)=−23−(−23)


30x2+140x+23=0


Step 3: Use quadratic formula with a=30, b=140, c=23.


x=−b±√b2−4ac/2a


x=−(140)±√(140)2−4(30)(23)/2(30)


x=−140±√16840/60


x=−7/3+1/30√4210 or x=−7/3+−1/30√4210
