Answer:

mutually exclusive

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of interest is ...

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

Filling in the given values, we have ...

9/10 = 2/5 + 1/2 - P(A and B)

Solving for P(A and B), we get ...

P(A and B) = 2/5 +1/2 -9/10 = 4/10 +5/10 -9/10

P(A and B) = 0

Events are mutually exclusive when <em>they can never happen at the same time</em>. That is, P(A and B) = 0.

The events A and B are mutually exclusive.

How do you solve this

love history [14]

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{6{x}^{2} } = \frac{1}{2x} + \frac{7}{6 {x}^{2} } \\ \frac{7}{6 {x}^{2} } - \frac{1}{6{x}^{2} } + \frac{1}{2 {x} } = 0 \: \: \: \: \: ( - \frac{1}{6 {x}^{2} } \: throughout) \\ \frac{6}{6 {x}^{2} } + \frac{1}{2x} = 0 \: \: \: \: \: (simplify)\\ \frac{1}{ {x}^{2} } + \frac{1}{2x} = 0 \\ \frac{2 {x}^{2} }{ {x}^{2} } + \frac{2 {x}^{2} }{2x} = 0 \: \: \: \: \: ( \times 2 {x}^{2} \: throughout) \\ 2 + x = 0 \: \: \: \: \: (simplify)\\ x = - 2$

T is the midpoint of PQ

PT=TQ

5x+7 = 7x-7

2x= 14

x= 14/2

x= 7

PT = 5(7)+7 = 42
