The answer is -2 when you simplify
Answer:
(b)0.56
(c)0.38
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
P(Ben Pass) =0.8
Therefore: P(Ben fails)=1-0.8 =0.2
P(Tom Pass) =0.7
Therefore: P(Tom fails)=1-0.7 =0.3
See attached for the completed tree diagram
(b)Probability that both will pass
P(both will pass)=P(Ben pass and Tom pass)
=P(Ben pass) X P(Tom pass)
=0.8 X 0.7
=0.56
(c)The probability that only one of them will pass
Since either Tom or Ben can pass, we have:
P(only one of them will pass)
=P(Ben pass and Tom fails OR Ben Fails and Tom Pass)
=P(Ben pass and Tom fails)+P(Ben Fails and Tom Pass)
=(0.8 X 0.3) + (0.2 X 0.7)
=0.24 + 0.14
=0.38
The correct answer is: [B]: " 25 a²⁵ b²⁵ " .

Given the expression:
_________________________________________________________
</span>→ " (−5a⁵b⁵)² (a³b³)⁵ " ; Simplify.
_________________________________________________________
Let us being by examining:
______________________________________
→ "(−5a⁵b⁵)² " .
→ "(−5a⁵b⁵)² = (-5)² * (a⁵)² * (b⁵)² = (-5)(-5) * a⁽⁵ˣ²⁾ * b⁽⁵ˣ²⁾ = 25a⁽¹⁰⁾b⁽¹⁰⁾ ;
{Note the following properties of exponents:
(xy)ⁿ = xⁿ * yⁿ ;
(xᵃ)ᵇ = x⁽ᵃ * ᵇ) ;
(xᵃ) * (xᵇ) = x⁽ᵃ ⁺ ᵇ⁾ .}.
______________________________________
Then, we examine:
______________________________________
→ "(a³b³)⁵ " .
→ "(a³b³)⁵ = a⁽³ˣ⁵⁾b⁽³ˣ⁵⁾ = a⁽¹⁵⁾b⁽¹⁵⁾ .
______________________________________
So: " (−5a⁵b⁵)² (a³b³)⁵ = (-5)a⁽¹⁰⁾b⁽¹⁰⁾ * a⁽¹⁵⁾b⁽¹⁵⁾ " ;
________________________________________
Now, we simplify:
→ " 25a⁽¹⁰⁾b⁽¹⁰⁾ * a⁽¹⁵⁾b⁽¹⁵⁾ " ;
→ " 25a⁽¹⁰⁾b⁽¹⁰⁾ * a⁽¹⁵⁾b⁽¹⁵⁾ ;
= 25a⁽¹⁰⁾ a⁽¹⁵⁾b⁽¹⁰⁾ b⁽¹⁵⁾ ;
= 25a⁽¹⁰ ⁺¹⁵⁾ b⁽¹⁰⁺¹⁵⁾ ;
= 25a⁽²⁵⁾ b⁽²⁵⁾ ;
_______________________________________________
→ which is: Answer choice: [B]: " 25 a²⁵ b²⁵ " .

I am sorry but I do not see the underlined digit, but I will put it this way. 7 in the thousands place is worth 7000, 2 in the hundreds place is worth 200, 7 in the tens place is worth 70, and 0 in the ones place is worth 0.
Hope this helped!
