Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute:

(5y + 2)(y - 3)

5y^2-15y+2y-6

Which can be simplified into 5y^2-13y-6

Now the equation now looks like this: 5y^2-13y-6=-13(2+y)

For -13(2+y) multiply -13 with 2+y

Which is -26-13y

5y^2-13y-6=-26-13y

Simplify:

5y^2+20

Which can be simplified into 5(y^2+4)

y^2+4=0

y^2=-4

y=2i

Hope this helps!

Explain how knowing 50 x 4 = 200 helps you find 500 x 400.

Anika [276]

If you do 50 times 4 it’s easier to find 500 times 400 because all you have to do it add 3 more zeros behind 200 making the answer be 200,000.

A recent survey asked UF students if they had a job or not, and if they were underclassmen (Freshmen and Sophomores) or uppercla

vlada-n [284]

Following the table and knowing that the total number of students interviewed were 158 ( we can see this by looking adding either the total number of upperclassment or adding the total number of people with jobs or no jobs, this value is at the bottom right of the table in the figure attached).
Recall that:
$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)$
In the figure provided each of these terms is highlighted in a different color. To convert these values to their matching probabilities we have to divide each by the total number of students, this is due to the fact that the probability is the number of favorable cases (in this case a group matching the qualities we seek) divided by the total amount of cases ( that is the total number of people interviewed). In the figure the answer is provided. For the intersection of the two events we're looking for people that is both an undercalssman and also has a job.
