There are m fruits in a basket. 3 of the fruits are kiwis; the rest are lemons. The probability of picking two kiwis in a row (without replacement) is 0.3. Show m^2 - m - 20 = 0.

Number of lemons = m - 3. Construct a tree diagram using the information given to represent picking two fruits out of the basket (without replacement) one after the other. Since picking each fruit is an i...

What is (18)^1/2 -(8)^1/2 simplified?

In order to answer this we will break down the two surds into their factors. So we know that 18 is 2 multiplied by 9 and so (18)^1/2=(92)^1/2 which cane be broken down into (9)^1/2(2)^1/2 .We kno...
