2x^2 + -7x^2 = -5x^2
-9x + 4x = -5x
3 + -2 = 1
put back together
-5x^2 - 5x +1
Using it's concept, it is found that the experimental probability that the first vehicle rented today will be a pickup truck is of 0.5 = 50%.
<h3>What is a probability?</h3>
A probability is given by the<u> number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>. For an experimental probability, these number of outcomes are taken from previous trials.
In this problem, we have that out of 4 vehicles, 2 are pickup trucks, hence the experimental probability is given by:
p = 2/4 = 1/2 = 0.5.

Answer:
Convenience sampling.
Step-by-step explanation:
To gather information on customer satisfaction, a researcher goes into each store and interviews six randomly selected customers at each store. This sampling technique is called convenience sampling.
Convenience sampling can be defined as a sampling method which involves the researcher selecting or collecting data that is easily available or choosing the individuals who are easiest to reach in a population. It is a type of non-probability method of sampling where the first or easiest available data source is being used by the researcher without other requirements.
In this scenario, to gather information on customer satisfaction, the researcher went to the store most likely situated in a shopping mall to collect data from six (6) customers in each stores.
<em>Some of the advantages of convenience sampling are low cost, data are collected quickly, lesser rules etc. </em>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In a geometric sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio,r. Considering the given sequence,
r = 6/- 2 = - 18/6 = - 3
Therefore, the sequence is geometric.
The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as
Tn = ar^(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
r represents the common ratio.
n represents the number of terms.
From the information given,
a = - 2
r = - 3
The explicit formula is
Tn = - 2 × (- 3)^(n - 1)
To find the 8th term, T8,
T8 = - 2 × (- 3)^(8 - 1)
T8 = - 2 × (- 3)^7
T8 = - 2 × - 2187
T8 = 4374
Multiply the first equation by 2 to then use elimination by adding the 2 equations.
So, 14x-2y=14
+. x+2y=6
Equals 15x=20 so x=20/15=4/3
Plug in to first equation to get y
7(4/3)-y=7
28/3-y=7
28/3-y=21/3
So y=7/3
Plug both x and y into second equation to check
4/3+2(7/3)=
4/3+14/3=18/3=6 it works
So x=4/3, y=7/3
Hope this helps! Have a blessed day!
