Answer:
p = -2/5 or 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
|5 − 3p| + 9 = 13p + 8
|5 − 3p| = 13p − 1
If 5 − 3p is positive:
5 − 3p = 13p − 1
6 = 16p
p = 3/8
If 5 − 3p is negative:
-(5 − 3p) = 13p − 1
-5 + 3p = 13p − 1
-4 = 10p
p = -2/5
Alternatively, we can square both sides of the equation:
(5 − 3p)² = (13p − 1)²
25 − 30p + 9p² = 169p² − 26p + 1
0 = 160p² + 4p − 24
0 = 40p² + p − 6
0 = (5p + 2) (8p − 3)
p = -2/5 or 3/8
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change is
f(x2) - f(x1)
-----------------
x2-x1
We want to find the change from 1 to 3
f(3) = 8
f(1) = 2
f(3) - f(1) 8-2 6
----------------- = ------------ = ---- = 3
3-1 2 2
Use the identity P(A ∪ B) = P(A)+P(B)-P(A ∩ B)
P(A)=0.50
P(B)=0.60
P(A ∪ B) = 0.30
=>
P(A ∪ B) = P(A)+P(B)-P(A ∩ B)
=(0.50+0.60)-0.30
=0.80
