Answer:

\frac{85}{800} or \frac{17}{160} simplified

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the probability of this sequence of events happening we first need to find the probability of each event happening seperately and then multiply them together.

If there are 40 slip-joint pliers and only 5 are 6-inch then the probability of picking a 6-inch plier is 5/40. If there are a total of 20 rubber malets and only 3 are small then the probability of picking a non-small rubber mallet would be 17/20... Now we simply multiply these two probabilities together...

\frac{5 *17}{40 * 20} = \frac{85}{800} or \frac{17}{160} simplified

What divisor is represented by the synthetic division below? A vertical line and horizontal line combine to make a L shape. Ther
g100num [7]

One of the ways of dividing polynomials is by synthetic division

The divisor of the synthetic division is x + 5

<h3>How to determine the divisor of the division</h3>

From the question, we understand that:

Entry -5 is on the outside to the left of the shape

The entry represents the zero of the divisor.

Next, we set this entry to the variable (assume the variable is x)

So, we have:

x = -5

Add 5 to both sides

x + 5= 0

Hence, the divisor of the synthetic division is x + 5
