15x-24

the answer is not B because 3*-5= -15, we need -24

the answer is not C because 3*-24= -72

the answer is not A because 5*8= 40

Answer :

D. 3(5x − 8)

(3)(5x)(3)(-8)

15x-24= 15x-24

Answer: OPTION D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following polynomial:

$15x - 24$

You can find an equivalent expression by factoring out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).

In order to find the Greatest Common Factor, you need to descompose the coefficients 15 and 24 into their prime factors:

$15=3*5\\24=2*2*2*3=2^3*3$

You can observe that the Greatest Common Factor is:

$GCF=3$

Then, factoring out 3, you get:

$3(5x-8)$

What is the distance between two points(2,-6)(-7,1)

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

11.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the distance in the x-direction between the x-components: 2 - (-7) = 9.

Similarly: between the y-components: 1 - (-6) = 7

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem: 9^2 + 7^2 = d^2, where d is the desired distance:

81 + 49 = d^2, or d^2 = 130

The distance d is approximately √130 ≈ 11.4

There are three power plants [X, Y, Z] that at any given time each one either generates electricity or idles. Event A is that pl

insens350 [35]

We're told that

$P(A\cap B)=0.15$

$P(A\cup B)^C=0.06\implies P(A\cup B)=0.94$

$P(B\mid A)=P(B^C\mid A)=0.5$

where the last fact is due to the law of total probability:

$P(A)=P(A\cap B)+P(A\cap B^C)$

$\implies P(A)=P(B\mid A)P(A)+P(B^C\mid A)P(A)$

$\implies 1=P(B\mid A)+P(B^C\mid A)$

so that $B\mid A$ and $B^C\mid A$ are complementary.

By definition of conditional probability, we have

$P(B\mid A)=P(B^C\mid A)$

$\implies\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}=\dfrac{P(A\cap B^C)}{P(A)}$

$\implies P(A\cap B)=P(A\cap B^C)$

We make use of the addition rule and complementary probabilities to rewrite this as

$P(A\cap B)=P(A\cap B^C)$

$\implies P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B^C)-P(A\cup B^C)$

$\implies P(B)-[1-P(A\cup B)^C]=[1-P(B)]-P(A\cup B^C)$

$\implies2P(B)=2-[P(A\cup B)^C+P(A\cup B^C)]$

$\implies2P(B)=[1-P(A\cup B)^C]+[1-P(A\cup B^C)]$

$\implies2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+P(A\cup B^C)^C$

$\implies2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+P(A^C\cap B)\quad(*)$

By the law of total probability,

$P(B)=P(A\cap B)+P(A^C\cap B)$

$\implies P(A^C\cap B)=P(B)-P(A\cap B)$

and substituting this into $(*)$ gives

$2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+[P(B)-P(A\cap B)]$

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

$\implies P(B)=0.94-0.15=\boxed{0.79}$
