Answer:

- (b - 9)(b + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

72 + b - b² ← factor out - 1 from each term and rearrange into standard form

= - (b² - b - 72) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 72) which sum to give the coefficient of the b- term (- 1)

The factors are - 9 and + 8

Use these factors to split the b- term

b² - 9b + 8b - 72 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

b(b - 9) + 8(b - 9) ← factor out (b - 9) from each term

(b - 9)(b + 8)

Then

72 + b - b² = - (b - 9)(b + 8)

In a certain game of chance, your chances of winning are 0.3. Assume outcomes are independent and that you will play the game fo

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

0.6517

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a certain game of chance, your chances of winning are 0.3.

We know that each game is independent of the other and hence probability of winning any game = 0.3 (constant)

Also there are only two outcomes

Let X be the number of games you win when you play 4 times

Then X is binomial with p = 0.3 and n =4

Required probability

= Probability that you win at most once

= $P(X\leq 1)\\=P(X=0)+P(X=1)$

We have as per binomial theorem

P(X=r) = $nCr p^r (1-p)^{n-r}$

Using the above the required prob

= 0.6517

Which equation using x to represent time best represents the floor number of an elevator descending at a steady rate?

zepelin [54]

C. You'd be starting at a higher floor (positive number) and descending floors (negative number per x). If you assume x is time it's a little more logical and visual.
