Answer:
(b)0.56
(c)0.38
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
P(Ben Pass) =0.8
Therefore: P(Ben fails)=1-0.8 =0.2
P(Tom Pass) =0.7
Therefore: P(Tom fails)=1-0.7 =0.3
See attached for the completed tree diagram
(b)Probability that both will pass
P(both will pass)=P(Ben pass and Tom pass)
=P(Ben pass) X P(Tom pass)
=0.8 X 0.7
=0.56
(c)The probability that only one of them will pass
Since either Tom or Ben can pass, we have:
P(only one of them will pass)
=P(Ben pass and Tom fails OR Ben Fails and Tom Pass)
=P(Ben pass and Tom fails)+P(Ben Fails and Tom Pass)
=(0.8 X 0.3) + (0.2 X 0.7)
=0.24 + 0.14
=0.38
Multiply by -1 each time to get the answer in the output
<span>We are given the slope and the y-intercept.
m=-6/7, b=3 1/7
We use the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line to get an equation.
y = mx + b
y = -6/7x + 3 1/7
Now we need standard form.
The x- and y-terms must be on the left side, and we need integer coefficients.
y = -6/7x + 22/7
Multiply both sides by 7.
7y = -6x + 22
Add 5x to both sides.
6x + 7y = 22

Answer:
10x . . . . . (Note the sign of the middle term is negative. 10x goes in the box.)
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the two roots is ...
... (5 -3i) +(5 +3i) = 10
In a quadratic with leading coefficient 1, the coefficient of the 1st-degree term is the opposite of the sum of the roots. Here, that means the middle term is -10x. The minus sign is given, so the answer is 10x.
_____
<em>How Do We Know?</em>
When "a" and "b" are roots of a quadratic in x, it has factors (x -a)(x -b). The product of those two factors is ...
... (x -a)(x -b) = x² -(a+b)x +ab
Here, that means the product of the factors (5 -3i)(5 +3i) is ab = 34, which it is. Their sum is (a+b) = 10, so the x-term is -(a+b)x = -10x.
