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.

X + y = -1<br> 4x - 2y = -16
djyliett [7]

Answer:

x=-3 \\and\\ y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = -1       Equation:1

4x - 2y = -16    Equation:2

Solving Equation:1

x+y=-1

Subtracting 'y' from both the sides:

x+y-y=-1-y\\\\x=-1-y

Putting 'x' in Equation :2

       4(-1-y)-2y=-16\\\\-4-4y-2y=-16\\\\-4-6y=-16

Adding '4' both the sides

          -6y=-16+4\\\\-6y=-12\\\\y=-12/-6\\\\y=2

Putting the value of 'y' in equation:1

           x+y=-1

           x+(2)=-1\\\\x=-1-2\\\\x=-3\\

The solution is:

          x=-3 \\and\\ y=2

Expand each expression In 4y5/x2
nordsb [41]

Answer:

\ln 4 -2 \ln x +5 \ln y

Step-by-step explanation:

\ln \dfrac{4y^5}{x^2}\\\\=\ln(4y^5) - \ln(x^2)~~~~~~~~~~~;\left[ \log_b\left( \dfrac mn \right)  = \log_b m - \llog_b n \right]\\\\=\ln 4 + \ln y^5 - 2\ln x~~~~~~~~~~~~;[\log_b m^n = n \log_b m ~\text{and}~\log_b(mn) = \log_b m + \log_b n ]\\\\=\ln 4 + 5 \ln y -2 \ln x\\\\=\ln 4 -2 \ln x +5 \ln y

a yard width is 2 less than it's length. If the perimeter of the yard is 20 feet determine the length and the width of the yard
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The length is 6 feet and the width is 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the yard

The width can be represented by x - 2, since it is 2 less than the length.

Use the perimeter formula, P = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is width

Plug in the expressions and perimeter:

20 = 2x + 2(x - 2)

Solve for x:

20 = 2x + 2x - 4

20 = 4x - 4

24 = 4x

6 = x

So, the length is 6. Plug this into x - 2 to find the width

x - 2

6 - 2

= 4

So, the length is 6 feet and the width is 4 feet

4) 8(-2 + 2n) + 3n = 40 +5n
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

use the distributive property to distribute the 8

-16+16n+3n=40+5n

-16+19n=40+5n

-16=40+5n-19n

-16=40-14n

-14n+40= -16

-14n= -16-40

-14n= -56

n= -56/-14

n= 4
