Some of the steps in the derivation of the quadratic formula are shown. Step 4: StartFraction negative 4 a c + b squared Over 4 a EndFraction = a ( x + StartFraction b Over 2 a EndFraction) squared Step 5: (StartFraction 1 Over a EndFraction) StartFraction b squared minus 4 a c Over 4 a EndFraction = (StartFraction 1 Over a EndFraction) a (x + StartFraction b Over 2 a EndFraction) squared Step 6: StartFraction b squared minus 4 a c Over 4 a squared EndFraction = ( x + StartFraction b Over 2 a EndFraction) squared Step 7: StartFraction plus or minus StartRoot b squared minus 4 a c EndRoot Over 2 a EndFraction = x + StartFraction b Over 2 a EndFraction Which best explains why the expression plus or minus StartRoot b squared minus 4 a c EndRoot cannot be rewritten as b plus or minus StartRoot negative 4 a c EndRoot during the next step? Negative values, like −4ac, do not have a square root. The ± symbol prevents the square root from being evaluated. The square root of terms separated by addition and subtraction cannot be calculated individually. The entire term b2 − 4ac must be divided by 2a before its square root can be determined.

[15 points, algebra 2]simplify the complex fraction and find the restrictions.

Listed below are time intervals (min) between eruptions of a geyser. assume that the "recent" times are within the past few years, the "past" times are from around 20 years ago, and that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. does it appear that the mean time interval has changed? is the conclusion affected by whether the significance level is 0.10 or 0.01? recent 78 90 90 79 57 101 62 87 71 87 81 84 57 80 74 103 62 past 88 89 93 94 65 85 85 92 87 91 89 91 follow the steps of hypothesis testing, including identifying the alternative and null hypothesis, calculating the test statistic, finding the p-value, and making a conclusions about the null hypothesis and a final conclusion that addresses the original claim. use a significance level of 0.10. is the conclusion affected by whether the significance level is 0.10 or 0.01? answer choices below: a) yes, the conclusion is affected by the significance level because h0 is rejected when the significance level is 0.01 but is not rejected when the significance level is 0.10. b) no, the conclusion is not affected by the significance level because h0 is not rejected regardless of whether a significance level of 0.10 or 0.01 is used. c) yes, the conclusion is affected by the significance level because h0 is rejected when the significance level is 0.10 but is not rejected when the significance level is 0.01. d) no, the conclusion is not affected by the significance level because h0 is rejected regardless of whether a significance level of 0.10 or 0.01 is used.

According to the general equation for conditional probability if p(anb)=3/7 and p(b)=7/8 what is p(a i b)
