F(x)=a(x-x1)(x-x2)
F(x)=a(x- - 6)(x- -2)
F(x)=a(x+6)(x+2)
-6=a(-3+6)(-3+2)
-6=a(3)(-1)
-6=-3a
2=a
Equation: f(x)=2(x+6)(x+2)
Given:

.
using algebraic identity.

LCM of 
Make the denominators same using LCM.
Multiply and divide the first term by (x + 1) to make the denominator same.

Now, denominators are same, you can subtract the fractions.

Answer: 0.39
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following classification :
Heavy smokers (H) = 10%
Light smokers (L) = 20%
Non smokers (N) = 70%
Given that :
The death rates of the heavy and light smokers were five and three times that of the nonsmokers, respectively
Let probability of death = D
P(D | N) = d
P(D | H) = 5d
P(D | L) = 3d
Hence,
P(D) = [P(H) * P(D | H) + P(L) * P(D | L) + P(N) * P(D | N)]
P(D) = [0.1 * 5d + 0.2 * 3d + 0.7 * d]
P(D) = [0.5d + 0.6d + 0.7d]
P(D) = 1.8d
A randomly selected participant died over the five-year period: calculate the probability that the participant was a nonsmoker.
P(N | D) = [P(N) * P(D | N)] / P(D)
P(N | D) = 0.7d / 1.8d
P(N | D) = 0.3888
= 0.39
The answer is 982, it was pretty hard tbh
