Answer: 150

Step-by-step explanation:

30% = 0.3

100-30=70

70% = 0.7

0.7 X 500 = 350

500-350 = 150

Find the missing probability. P(A)=7/20,P(A∪B)=191/400,P(A∩B)=49/400 ,P(B)=? A. 7/8 B. 1/4 C. 117/400 D. 19/40

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P(AUB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)

191/400=7/20+P(B)-49/400

P(B)=191/400+49/400-7/20=240/400-7/20=12/20-7/20=5/20=1/4

Solve 2 1/2 divided by 5 1/3 = 8/x

ipn [44]

$2\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \quad divided\quad by\quad 5\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \\ \\ 2\frac { 1 }{ 2 } =2+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } =\frac { 5 }{ 2 } \\ \\ 5\frac { 1 }{ 3 } =5+\frac { 1 }{ 3 } =\frac { 15+1 }{ 3 } =\frac { 16 }{ 3 } \\ \\ \\ \frac { \frac { 5 }{ 2 } }{ \frac { 16 }{ 3 } }$

We're dividing fractions, so we will flip the one in the denominator upside down and we will multiply it with the numerator.

$\frac { \frac { 5 }{ 2 } }{ \frac { 16 }{ 3 } } \quad =\quad \frac { 5 }{ 2 } \cdot \frac { 3 }{ 16 } =\frac { 5\cdot 3 }{ 2\cdot 16 } =\frac { 15 }{ 32 }$

Let's equal this too 8/x

$\frac { 15 }{ 32 } =\frac { 8 }{ x }$

Cross multiply.

$8\cdot 32=15\cdot x\\ \\ 256=15x$

Divide both sides by 15.

$\frac { 256 }{ 15 } =\frac { 15x }{ 15 } \\ \\ \frac { 256 }{ 15 } =x$

Identify the remainder when x3 - 3x2 - 9x is divided by x - 6.

kiruha [24]

Let p(x) be any polynomial of degree greater than or equal to one and let 'a' be any real number. If a polynomial p(x) is divided by x - a then the remainder is p(a). Hence by the remainder theorem, 0 is the remainder when x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1 is divided by x + 1.
