<h3>Answers:  x = -11 and x = 3</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

There are at least three ways to solve this.

----------------------------------------------

Method 1:

We could graph y = (x-2)(x+10) using a tool like Desmos. Graph y = 13 as well which is a horizontal line.

Check out the screenshot shown below.

The parabola in red and the horizontal line in blue intersect at the locations (-11, 13) and (3, 13)

We only focus on the x coordinates of the intersection points.

Therefore, the two solutions are x = -11 and x = 3

The order of the solutions doesn't matter.

----------------------------------------------

Method 2:

Expand things out and get everything to one side

(x-2)(x+10) = 13

x^2 + 10x - 2x - 20 = 13

x^2 + 8x - 20 - 13 = 0

x^2 + 8x - 33 = 0

From here we can use the quadratic formula

x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-8\pm\sqrt{(8)^2-4(1)(-33)}}{2(1)}\\\\x = \frac{-8\pm\sqrt{64+132}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{-8\pm\sqrt{196}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{-8\pm14}{2}\\\\x = \frac{-8+14}{2} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-8-14}{2}\\\\x = \frac{6}{2} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-22}{2}\\\\x = 3 \ \text{ or } \ x = -11\\\\

----------------------------------------------

Method 3:

Instead of using the quadratic formula, we could factor.

To factor x^2+8x-33, we need to find two numbers that

  • Multiply to -33
  • Add to 8

Through trial and error, you should get 11 and -3

  • 11 times -3 = -33
  • 11 plus -3 = 8

So,

x^2+8x-33 = 0

(x+11)(x-3) = 0

x+11 = 0 or x-3 = 0

x = -11 or x = 3

Answer:

P( not win) =  2/ (n+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are n+2 total possibilities

There are n winners

not win = n+2 - n = 2

P( not win) = not win / total

                   = 2/ n+2

What is the area of a rectangle that is 1 1 4 1 4 1 ​ 1, start fraction, 1, divided by, 4, end fraction meters long and 3 4 4 3
hjlf

Answer:

4 11/16 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a rectangle = Length × Width

From the question:

Length = 1 1/4 m

Width = 3 3/4m

Area of the rectangle =

1 1/4 m × 3 3/4 m

= 5/4 m × 15/4 m

= 75/16 m²

= 4 11/16 m²

Area of the rectangle = 4 11/16 m²
