Answer:

To do this, you need to multiply out the expressions. This is a bit tedious, but remember like FOIL for binomials, for these trinomials you must multiply each term. If you need a step-by-step, I'd be happy to provide it. Let me know.

Once you have simplified the expression, you get

-x-9/2x-4

But, the problem stipulates that a must equal 1. We can equivalently factor out the negative sign and put it on the denominator with no change to write

x+9/-(2x-4) = x+9/-2x+4

So, seeing where each coefficient corresponds between the two expressions, you get a = 1, b = 9, c = –2, and d = 4.

In the following Earliest Start Time (EST) graph, assume each unit of time is an hour.
Stels [109]

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Critical Path Analysis is presented using the circle and arrow diagrams.
  • Earliest Start Time = the earliest possible time of  starting the activity
  • An arrow running between two event circles shows the activity needed to complete that task.
  • All arrows run left to right
  • Time for doing just task E = 8 hours (as shown in the figure)

Marge cut 16 pieces of tape for mounting pictures on poster board. Each piece of tape was 3/8 inch long. How much tape did Marge
mafiozo [28]
Hi! :)

It sounds like you need to multiply this fraction. 

\frac{3}{8}*16=6

So, Marge used 6 total inches of tape. 

Hope this helps!

New codes to destroy the First Order are known to exist. With probability 0.6, the codes are hidden by Leia; with probability 0.
elixir [45]

Answer: (a). 0.62 (b). 0.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us start by defining some events seen:

Given;

L rep the event that codes hidden Leia

BB represents the codes hidden in BB-8

H is the event that codes hidden by Hah

C-3PO rep the codes hidden in C3PO

Giving the probabilities, we have that

P(L)  =  probability that codes are hidden by Leia = 0.6

P(H) = probability that codes are hidden by Hah = 0.4

where P(BB/L) = 70/10 i.e 70%

P(C-3PO/L) = 1 - P(BB/L) = 1 - 7/10 = 3/10

Also, P(BB/H)  = 1/2 = P(C-3PO/H)

We can say that Han Solo is likely to hide them in aceta BB-8 and C-3PO

To begin,

(a). The question tell us to find the probability that the codes are with BB-8.

First of all, we find P(BB).

P(BB) = P(L)*P(BB/L) + P(H)*P(BB/H)

solving this we get

P(BB) = 0.6*7/10 + 0.4*1/2 = 0.62

Therefore,  the probability that the codes are with BB-8 = 0.62

(b). The second question says;

Given that the codes are with C-3PO, what is the probability the codes were hidden by Han Solo?

This tell us to find P(H/C-3PO)

P(H/C-3PO) = P(C-3PO/H)*P(H) / P(C-3PO/H) + P(C-3PO/L)*P(L)

inputting the values gives us;

P(H/C-3PO) = 1/2 * 0.4 / ( 1/2 *0.4 + 3/10 *0.6) = 0.53

SO we have that the probability the codes were hidden by Han Solo = 0.53

cheers I hope this was helpful!!
