What two numbers multiply to -120 and add to -2

Hello!

To answer this question we need to find the factors of -120.

The total set (both negative and postive! ) are the following:

  • 1, -120
  • 2, -60
  • 3, -40
  • 4, -30
  • 5, -24
  • 6, -20
  • 8, -15
  • 10, -12
  • 12, -10
  • 15, -8
  • 20, -6
  • 24, -5
  • 30, -4
  • 40, -3
  • 60, -2
  • 120, -1

After looking over all of these factors, we can see that 10 · -12 is equal to not only -120, but when the multiplication sign is replace by addition, it is equal to -2!

Hope this helps.

How many different ways can you write a fraction that has a numerator of 2 as a sum of fractions? Explain.
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 + 1/5 = 2/5

1/7 + 1/7 = 2/7

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3

There are an infinite number of these fractions. They must be 1 and 1 in the numerator, and the denominator must be relatively prime  to 2. The examples I have picked are prime in the denominator, but the rule is not without many exceptions. For example

1/9 + 1/9 = 2/9

I don't think you can pick an even denominator because it will reduce when put with two.  Oh wait 2/18 + 2/18 = 4/18 = 2/9 But these could be reduced before adding. Still, it might count. It depends on who is marking the question.

What about an odd and even denominator?

1/9 + 1/18 = 3/18 = 1/6  There must be something that works, but I can't come up with an example.

If a procedure meets all of the conditions of a binomial distribution except the number of trials is not​ fixed, then the geomet
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The probability is 0.0428

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's remember that the binomial distribution is given by the formula:

P(X=k) =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}n\\k\end{array}\right] p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k} where k is the number of successes in n trials and p is the probability of success.

However, the problem tells us that when there isn't a number of trials fixed, we can use the geometric distribution and the formula for getting the first success on the xth trial becomes:

P(X=x) = p(1-p)^{x-1}\\

The problem asks us to find the probability of the first success on the 4th trial (given that the first subject to be a universal blood donor will be the fourth person selected)

Using this formula with the parameters given, we have:

p = 0.05

x = 4

Substituting these parameters in the formula and solving it, we get:

P(X=4) = 0.05(1-0.05)^{4-1}\\P(X=4) = 0.05 (0.95)^{3}\\P(X=4) = 0.05(.8573)\\P(X=4) = 0.0428

Therefore, the probability that the first subject to be a universal blood donor is the fourth person selected is 0.0428 or 4.28%

The Blazers hockey team has won 7 of its first 12 games.
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The Rockets' team has the better record.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The Blazers hockey team has played 12 games but they won only 7 out of the 12 games, so that means that they loss the other 5 games. So that makes the Blazers record 7 wins and 5 losses.

  • The Rockets' team has played 8 games but they won only 5 out of the 8 games, so that means that they loss the other 3 games. So that makes the Rockets' record 5 wins and 3 losses.

  • So, the Rockets' team has the better record because they loss less games than the Blazers team did.
