Assuming that the inequality you were going for was a ≤, set both polynomials less than or equal to 0.
x - 3 ≤ 0
x + 5 ≤ 0
For the first equation add 3 to both sides of the inequality. For the second, subtract 5 from both sides.
x ≤ 3
x ≤ - 5
These would be your solutions I guess, however, if you want to expand upon that, your actual answer is (- ∞, - 5] because if you were to plot these two inequalities on a number line, that is where the overlap would occur.
Flip the fraction to make the -3 exponet positive then it will be 9x^5/3x^3 which the answer would then be 3x^2
No, a & b are not independent if they're mutually exclusive.
Mutually exclusive means the two events cannot occur simultaneously. So if "a" happens "b" cannot. In contrast, two events are independent if the occurrence of one has no effect on the occurrence of the other.
If we are supposed to give you like a life situation that matches the equation then I have one:
You have 42 watermelons and you need to divide them into equal groups. Let n equal the number of watermelons in each group. There are 6 groups in total. How many watermelons are in each group? (solve for n).
If this is not what you were looking for then my apologies.
You would each get 1/10 of a pound of trail mix
