Answer:

1)28.8%

2)28.8%

3)43.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

1))Probability of wining both = Probability that first contract is won* Probability that second contract is won = 0.4 * 0.72 = 0.288 = 28.8%

2)Probability of losing = 1 - Probability of winning

Probability that they will lose both contracts = Probability that first contract is lost * Probability that second contract is lost = (1 - 40/100) * (1 - 54/100) = 0.276 = 27.6%

3)Probability that any one is won = 1 - both contracts are won - both contracts are lost = 1 - 0.276 - 0.288 = 0.436 = 43.6%

You buy 30 of your favorite songs from a Web site that charges ​$0.98 for each song. What is the cost of 30 ​songs? Use mental m
zubka84 [21]

If you are going to use mental math, round $0.98 up to $1.

Rounded, the cost of the 30 songs is $30.

However, since you rounded at the beginning, you need to subtract 2 cents for every song you purchased from the total of $30.

Multiply 30 by $0.02 to get $0.60. Subtract $0.60 from $30.

Your answer should be $29.40.

Ricardo is factoring the polynomial, which has four terms. 5x3 20x2 2x 8 5x2(x 4) 2(x 4) Which is the completely factored form o
umka21 [38]

The factor of the polynomial is (√5x - i√2)(√5x + i√2)(x + 4).

<h2>Polynomial</h2>

Polynomial is an algebraic expression that consists of variables and coefficients. Variable are called unknown. We can apply arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, etc. But not divisible by variable.

Given

5x³ + 20x³ + 2x +8 is a polynomial.

<h3>To find </h3>

The factor of the polynomial.

<h3>How to find the factor of the polynomial?</h3>

5x³ + 20x³ + 2x +8 is a polynomial.

Take common, we get

5x²(x + 4) + 2(x + 4)

(5x² + 2) (x + 4)

[(x√5)² - (i√2)](x + 4)

(√5x - i√2)(√5x + i√2)(x + 4)

Thus, the factor of the polynomial is (√5x - i√2)(√5x + i√2)(x + 4).

More about the polynomial link is given below.
