I would like to know how one can use the tree diagram...hence my post... otherwise, i was able to solve problem as follows,

a. ##P(A∩B)= \dfrac{3}{4} ×\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{3}{20}##

b. ## P(B/A')=\dfrac{P(B)-\dfrac{3}{20}}{P(A')}##

##\dfrac{3}{7}=\dfrac{P(B)-\dfrac{3}{20}}{\dfrac{1}{4}}##

...

##P(B)=\dfrac{9}{35}##

c. ## P(A/B)=\dfrac{3}{20} ×\dfrac{35}{9}=\dfrac{7}{12}##

Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
