<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
The long way to do this is to multiply all the fractions out by hand, or use a calculator to make shorter work of this.
The shortest way is to simply count how many negative signs each expression has.
The rule is: if there are an even number of negative signs, then the product will be positive. Otherwise, the product is negative.
For choice A, we have 3 negative signs. The result (whatever number it is) is negative. Choice B is a similar story. Choice C is also negative because we have 1 negative sign. Choices A through C have an odd number of negative signs.
Only choice D has an even number of negative signs. The two negatives multiply to cancel to a positive. The negative is like undoing the positive. So two negatives just undo each other. This is why the multiplied version of choice D will be some positive number.
Or you can think of it as opposites. If you are looking up (positive direction) and say "do the opposite" then you must look down (negative direction). Then if you say "do the opposite", then you must look back up in the positive direction.
Answer:
The values of variables x and m are 11 and 17
Step-by-step explanation:
The question has missing details as the diagram of the trapezoid isn't attached.
(See attachment).
Given that trapezoid CHLE is isosceles then the angles at the base area equal (4x)
And
The angles at the top are also equal
8m = 11x + 15
At this point, the four angles in the trapezoid are 8m, 11x + 15, 4x and 4x..
The sum of interior= 360
So,
11x + 15 + 8m + 4x + 4x = 360
Collect like terms
11x + 4x + 4x + 8m = 360 - 15
19x + 8m = 345
Substitute 11x + 15 for 8m
19x + 11x + 15 = 345
30x + 15 = 345
30x = 345 - 15
30x = 330
Divide through by 30
30x/30 = 330/30
x = 11
Recall that 8m = 11x + 15;
8m = 11(11) + 15
8m = 121 + 15
8m = 136
Divide through by 8
8m/8 = 136/8
m = 17
Hence, the values of variables x and m are 11 and 17
Answer: 0.0241
Step-by-step explanation:
This is solved using the probability distribution formula for random variables where the combination formula for selection is used to determine the probability of these random variables occurring. This formula is denoted by:
P(X=r) = nCr × p^r × q^n-r
Where:
n = number of sampled variable which in this case = 21
r = variable outcome being determined which in this case = 5
p = probability of success of the variable which in this case = 0.31
q= 1- p = 1 - 0.31 = 0.69
P(X=5) = 21C5 × 0.31^5 × 0.69^16
P(X=5) = 0.0241
