The problem says that the expression (3x + 5)(5x − 1) <span>represents the area of the floor of the building in square meters. Therefore,  to solve this problem you have to follow the proccedure shown below.

 1. First, to simplify the expression (3x + 5)(5x − 1) you must apply the distributive property. Then, you obtain:

 15x</span>²-3x+25x-5

 2. Then, you have:

 15x²+22x-5

 3. As you can see, the correct answer is the last option:  15x²+22x-5

which of the following is equivalent to 3 sqrt 32x^3y^6 / 3 sqrt 2x^9y^2 where x is greater than or equal to 0 and y is greater
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

\frac{\sqrt[3]{16y^4}}{x^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are missing; However, I'll simplify the given expression.

Given

\frac{\sqrt[3]{32x^3y^6}}{\sqrt[3]{2x^9y^2} }

Required

Write Equivalent Expression

To solve this expression, we'll make use of laws of indices throughout.

From laws of indices \sqrt[n]{a}  = a^{\frac{1}{n}}

So,

\frac{\sqrt[3]{32x^3y^6}}{\sqrt[3]{2x^9y^2} } gives

\frac{(32x^3y^6)^{\frac{1}{3}}}{(2x^9y^2)^\frac{1}{3}}

Also from laws of indices

(ab)^n = a^nb^n

So, the above expression can be further simplified to

\frac{(32^\frac{1}{3}x^{3*\frac{1}{3}}y^{6*\frac{1}{3}})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{9*\frac{1}{3}}y^{2*\frac{1}{3}})}

Multiply the exponents gives

\frac{(32^\frac{1}{3}x*y^{2})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{3}*y^{\frac{2}{3}})}

Substitute 2^5 for 32

\frac{(2^{5*\frac{1}{3}}x*y^{2})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{3}*y^{\frac{2}{3}})}

\frac{(2^{\frac{5}{3}}x*y^{2})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{3}*y^{\frac{2}{3}})}

From laws of indices

\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}

This law can be applied to the expression above;

\frac{(2^{\frac{5}{3}}x*y^{2})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{3}*y^{\frac{2}{3}})} becomes

2^{\frac{5}{3}-\frac{1}{3}}x^{1-3}*y^{2-\frac{2}{3}}

Solve exponents

2^{\frac{5-1}{3}}*x^{-2}*y^{\frac{6-2}{3}}

2^{\frac{4}{3}}*x^{-2}*y^{\frac{4}{3}}

From laws of indices,

a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}; So,

2^{\frac{4}{3}}*x^{-2}*y^{\frac{4}{3}} gives

\frac{2^{\frac{4}{3}}*y^{\frac{4}{3}}}{x^2}

The expression at the numerator can be combined to give

\frac{(2y)^{\frac{4}{3}}}{x^2}

Lastly, From laws of indices,

a^{\frac{m}{n} = \sqrt[n]{a^m}; So,

\frac{(2y)^{\frac{4}{3}}}{x^2} becomes

\frac{\sqrt[3]{(2y)}^{4}}{x^2}

\frac{\sqrt[3]{16y^4}}{x^2}

Hence,

\frac{\sqrt[3]{32x^3y^6}}{\sqrt[3]{2x^9y^2} } is equivalent to \frac{\sqrt[3]{16y^4}}{x^2}

The number of calls coming per minute into a hotel reservation center is Poisson random variable with mean 3.
natima [27]

Answer:

a) 0.05

b) 0.9826

c) 0.000039308

Step-by-step explanation:

a) P_X(0) = \frac{e^{-3}3^0}{0!} = e^{-3} =  0.05

b) For two minutes, the mean is doubled, hence it is 6. In order to calculate the probability of al least two calls arriving, we calculate first the probability of the complementary event: At most 1 call will arrive. For that probability, we need to sum the probabilities of 0 and 1.

P_X(0) = e^{-6}

P_X(1) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^1}{1!} = 6*e^{-6}

Hence,

P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X < 2) = 1- 7*e^{-6} = 0.9826

c) For five minutes the mean is 15. We need to sum the probabilities of 0, 1 and 2.

P_X(0) = e^{-15}

P_X(1) = e^{15}*15

P_X(2) = \frac{e^{-15}*15^2}{2!} = 112.5*e^{-15}

As a result,

P(X \leq 2) = e^{-15}(1+15+112.5) = 0.000039308

Practically 0

A thumbtack that is tossed can land point up or point down. The probability of a tack landing point up is 0.2. A simulation was
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Option C: 0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial probability distribution problem.

Now, we want to find the probability that at least 2 thumbtacks land pointing up when 5 thumbtacks are tossed. This is written as;

P(X ≥ 2) = P(2) + P(3) + P(4) + P(5)

From the histogram;

P(5) = 0.02

P(4) = 0.02

P(3) = 0.05

P(2) = 0.19

Thus;

P(X ≥ 2) = 0.19 + 0.05 + 0.02 + 0.02

P(X ≥ 2) = 0.28

Semenov [28]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The first nine in on the place of the thousands, while the second nine is on the place of the tens. so the first nine is a hundred times as great as the second nine
