Evaluate the expression below when x= -2
1 answer:
Answer: -1
Step-by-step explanation: To evaluate this problem, the first thing we want to do is plug in the appropriate value for <em>x</em>.
When we do that, we get
A good rule of thumb for problems that involve division bars is to simplify what's above the division bar as much as you can and what's below the division bar as much as you can before you do your dividing.
So up top if we follow our order of operations, the first thing we want to do is square the -2 before we subtract. So -2² is +4.
So in our numerator we have 4 - 8.
Down below, we have -2 + 6 which is +4.
4 - 8 is -4 and -2 + 6 is +4.

10 people who build at the same rate can frame a house in 6 days. That means it will take one person days to finish the house.
Which means that it will take 4 people days to finish the house.
So, the fractional part of the house 4 people can frame in 3 days will be
Thus, Option D is the correct answer.
Answer:
{0.16807, 0.36015, 0.3087, 0.1323, 0.02835, 0.00243}
Step-by-step explanation:
The expansion of (p+q)^n for n = 5 is ...
(p+q)^5 = p^5 +5·p^4·q +10·p^3·q^2 +10·p^2·q^3 +5·p·q^4 +q^5
When the probability p=0.3 and q = 1-p = 0.7 the terms of this series correspond to the probabilities of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0 favorable outcomes out of 5 trials.
For example, p^5 = 0.3^5 = 0.00243 is the probability of 5 favorable outcomes in 5 trials where the probability of each favorable outcome is 0.3.
___
The attachment shows the calculation of these numbers using a graphing calculator. It lists them in reverse order of the expansion of (p+q)^5 shown above, so that they are the probabilities of 0–5 favorable outcomes in the order 0–5.
