A comet travels in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one focus. The minimum distance the comet has from the sun is 8 x 10^7 km, and the eccentricity of its orbit is 0.97. What is its maximum distance from the sun? (Offering a lot of points to whoever can answer this!)

1. evaluate 8x(2)y9(-2) for x=-1 and y=2 2. simplify the equation. -() 3. simplify the expression. [tex]\frac{5}{x(-2) y9(5)}[/tex]

An oil exploration company currently has two active projects, one in asia and the other in europe. let a be the event that the asian project is successful and b be the event that the european project is successful. suppose that a and b are independent events with p(a) = 0.2 and p(b) = 0.8. (a) if the asian project is not successful, what is the probability that the european project is also not successful? (b) what is the probability that at least one of the two projects will be successful? (c) given that at least one of the two projects is successful, what is the probability that only the asian project is successful? (round your answer to three decimal places.)
