Answer:

The probability that both A and B occur is P = 0.01

Step-by-step explanation:

Both events A and B have a probability p of occurring.

Then both events A and B have a probability (1 - p) of NOT occurring.

The probability that neither A or B occurs is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, and this is equal to 0.81, then:

(1 - p)*(1 - p) = 0.81

1 - 2*p + p^2 = 0.81

p^2 - 2*p + 0.19 = 0

We can solve this if we use Bhaskara's equation, the two solutions are:

p = \frac{-(-2) +- \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4*1*0.19} }{2*1}  = \frac{2 + - 1.8}{2}

Then the two solutions are:

p = (2 + 1.8)/2 = 3.8/2 = 1.9

A probability must be a number between zero and one, and this is larger than one, so this solution can be discarded.

the other solution is:

p = (2 - 1.8)/2 = 0.2/2 = 0.1

This means that the probability that event A occurs is p = 0.1

And the probability that event B occurs is p = 0.1

The probability that both events occur is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, which is:

P = 0.1*0.1 = 0.01

3^(4x-5) = (1/27)^(2x+10) show your work
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

3^4x-5=1/27^2x+10

We move all terms to the left:

3^4x-5-(1/27^2x+10)=0

Domain of the equation: 27^2x+10)!=0

x∈R

We get rid of parentheses

3^4x-1/27^2x-10-5=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator

3^4x*27^2x-10*27^2x-5*27^2x-1=0

Wy multiply elements

81x^6-270x^2-135x^2-1=0

We do not support expression: x^6

18. Math is so hard pls help me
Sphinxa [80]

If you break down the figure you can do 5*3 and with the remaining part you will have 2*3 ... so you will use the equation (5*3) + (2*3) and will get the answer 21

Alchen [17]
21! If Karl uses 7 cups to make 2 loaves then we can simply multiply 7 and 3 resulting in 21, because 3x2=6!
