Answer:

0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

P(for men)=0.55

P(Botanic scent)=0.18

P(for men and botanic )=0.05

We have to find the probability that a deodorant is for men given that it has a botanic scent.

i.eP(For men/Botanic scent)

Conditional probability: $P(A/B)=\frac{P(A\cup B)}{P(B)}$

Using the formula

P((For men/Botanic scent)= $\frac{P(For\;men\;and\;botanic)}{P(botanic\;scent)}$

P(For men/Botanic scent)= $\frac{0.05}{0.18}$

P(For men/Botanic scent)=0.28

Answer:

c=2

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x^2 y^2 + 8x^3 y^5) / (2x y^2) = 4x^2 y^2 / 2x y^2 + 8x^3 y^5 / 2x y^2 = 2x + 4x^2 y^3

Therefore, a = 1, b = 0, c = 2 and d = 3

What is the vertex form of the quadratic equation represented on the table?

sergeinik [125]

Check the picture below, so the parabola looks more or less like so, hmmm with a vertex at (-1 , -4), so, using those values from the table

$~~~~~~\textit{vertical parabola vertex form} \\\\ y=a(x- h)^2+ k\qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\\\\ \stackrel{"a"~is~negative}{op ens~\cap}\qquad \stackrel{"a"~is~positive}{op ens~\cup} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}$

$\stackrel{vertex}{\stackrel{h}{-1}~~,~~\stackrel{k}{-4}}\qquad \implies y=a[x-(-1)]^2-4\implies y=a(x+1)^2-4 \\\\\\ \textit{we also know that} \begin{cases} x=2\\ y=14 \end{cases}\implies 14=a(2+1)^2-4\implies 18=9a \\\\\\ \cfrac{18}{9}=a\implies 2=a~\hspace{10em}\boxed{y=2(x+1)^2-4}$
