Answer:

  • probability of a false positive test result = 0.010
  • The non-drug user will suffer from the result since it is positive

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the test result  is a false positive

total number of cases studied  (n) = 38 + 12 + 19 + 29 = 98

number of false positive cases ( x ) = 1

probability of false positive result = x / n = 1/98 = 0.010

The non-drug user will suffer from the result since it is positive

Simplify and then classify by degree and number of terms<br> 2x+3x^2(4x-5)
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

2x + 3x^2 (4x - 5)

2x + 12x^3 - 15x^2

12x^3 - 15x^2 + 2x

Degree - 3

Terms - 3 (Trinomial)

<h3>Lets explore more - </h3>

  • The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of its variable
  • Degree represents the no. of zeros of the polynomial

  • <em><u>Linear</u></em><em><u> </u></em> - Degree 1
  • <em><u>Quadrati</u></em><em><u>c</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>-</u></em><em><u> </u></em>Degree 2
  • <em><u>Cubic</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>-</u></em><em><u> </u></em>Degree 3
  • <em><u>Biquadratic</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>-</u></em><em><u> </u></em>Degree 4

  • Terms - Classification of polynomial On the basis of terms

  1. monomial - polynomial which has only 1 term
  2. Binomial - Polynomial which has 2 terms
  3. Trinomial - Polynomial which has 3 terms
