Answer:

t = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

If one of the roots is "a", the equation can be factored as ...

(5x -a)(x -a) = 0

5x^2 -6ax +a^2 = 0

Comparing terms to the given equation, we see that ...

-6ax = -36x

a = 6 . . . . . . . . divide by -6

Then ...

a^2 = t

36 = t . . . . . . . substitute 6 for a

_____

The roots are 6 and 6/5.

Q and R are independent events. If P(Q)= 1/8 and P(R)=2/5 find P(Q and R).

Dafna11 [192]

Answer: 1/20
To find P(Q and R), you have to multiply P(Q) by P(R) to get the probability that both events will occur. P(Q) = 1/8, and P(R) = 2/5, so when multiplied together, you get 2/40. This simplifies to 1/20, meaning P(Q and R) = 1/20.
