Answer:

20 percent decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

it lost 4 inches of water (20-16) and 4 is a fifth of 20. a fifth is 20 percent so it is a 20 percent decrease

 ((((x4) -  5x2) -  6x) -  ——) -  3

STEP

:

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

3.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  x  as the denominator :

                     x4 - 5x2 - 6x     (x4 - 5x2 - 6x) • x

    x4 - 5x2 - 6x =  —————————————  =  ———————————————————

                           1                    x        

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

STEP

:

Pulling out like terms

4.1     Pull out like factors :

  x4 - 5x2 - 6x  =   x • (x3 - 5x - 6)

Polynomial Roots Calculator :

4.2    Find roots (zeroes) of :       F(x) = x3 - 5x - 6

Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of  x  for which   F(x)=0  

Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers  x  which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers

The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial zeroes for a rational number  P/Q   then  P  is a factor of the Trailing Constant and  Q  is a factor of the Leading Coefficient

In this case, the Leading Coefficient is  1  and the Trailing Constant is  -6.

The factor(s) are:

of the Leading Coefficient :  1

of the Trailing Constant :  1 ,2 ,3 ,6

Let us test ....

  P    Q    P/Q    F(P/Q)     Divisor

     -1       1        -1.00        -2.00    

     -2       1        -2.00        -4.00    

     -3       1        -3.00        -18.00    

     -6       1        -6.00        -192.00    

     1       1        1.00        -10.00    

     2       1        2.00        -8.00    

     3       1        3.00        6.00    

     6       1        6.00        180.00    

Polynomial Roots Calculator found no rational roots

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.3       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x • (x3-5x-6) • x - (10)     x5 - 5x3 - 6x2 - 10

————————————————————————  =  ———————————————————

           x                          x        

Equation at the end of step

:

 (x5 - 5x3 - 6x2 - 10)

:

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

5.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  x  as the denominator :

        3     3 • x

   3 =  —  =  —————

        1       x  

Checking for a perfect cube :

5.2    x5 - 5x3 - 6x2 - 10  is not a perfect cube

Trying to factor by pulling out :

5.3      Factoring:  x5 - 5x3 - 6x2 - 10

Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :

Group 1:  -6x2 - 10

Group 2:  x5 - 5x3

Pull out from each group separately :

Group 1:   (3x2 + 5) • (-2)

Group 2:   (x2 - 5) • (x3)

Bad news !! Factoring by pulling out fails :

The groups have no common factor and can not be added up to form a multiplication.

Polynomial Roots Calculator :

5.4    Find roots (zeroes) of :       F(x) = x5 - 5x3 - 6x2 - 10

    See theory in step 4.2

In this case, the Leading Coefficient is  1  and the Trailing Constant is  -10.

The factor(s) are:

of the Leading Coefficient :  1

of the Trailing Constant :  1 ,2 ,5 ,10

Let us test ....

The probability that it will snow in a certain town on January 1st is 0.29 find the probability that in a given year it will not
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

0.71


Step-by-step explanation:

The probability is a chance of an event happening. The probability of assured event is 100% or 1.

If there is no chance of an event happening the probability is zero (0).

The probability of snowing = 0.29

The probability of not snowing = 1 - 0.29

                                                   = 0.71
