Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Remember:
![(\sqrt[n]{a})^n=a\\\\(a+b)=a^2+2ab+b^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Ba%7D%29%5En%3Da%5C%5C%5C%5C%28a%2Bb%29%3Da%5E2%2B2ab%2Bb%5E2)
Given the equation
, you need to solve for the variable "x" to find its value.
You need to square both sides of the equation:


Simplifying, you get:

Factor the quadratic equation. Find two numbers whose sum be 7 and whose product be -8. These are: -1 and 8:

Then:

Let's check if the first solution is correct:

(It checks)
Let's check if the second solution is correct:

(It does not checks)
Therefore, the solution is:

Answer: a) 1 / ⁴⁰C₅ b) 0.33
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The sample space consists of all numbers 1-40.
Since any of the number can be taken from the sample space so each of five 5 distinct numbers we take has equal probability of occurring. So probability of each 5 numbers set we take will be equal to 1 / ⁴⁰C₅
b)
If we pick exactly 3 even number then that means other 2 will be odd.
So, we have sample space of 40 numbers out of which 20 are even and 20 are odd.
Now we have to pick 3 even out of 20 and 2 odd out of 20.
Probability = ²⁰C₃ * ²⁰C₂ / ⁴⁰C₅
Probability= 0.33
