It is statistical because there can be a variety of answers.
Upon a slight rearrangement this problem gets a lot simpler to see.
x^3-x+2x^2-2=0 now factor 1st and 2nd pair of terms...
x(x^2-1)+2(x^2-1)=0
(x+2)(x^2-1)=0 now the second factor is a "difference of square" of the form:
(a^2-b^2) which always factors to (a+b)(a-b), in this case:
(x+2)(x+1)(x-1)=0
So g(x) has three real zero when x={-2, -1, 1}
X=12
Hope this helps

Answer:
Zara = 5
Her Dad = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets say Zara's age is "z"
So, her dad's age must be 6 x z = 6z
As its given that there product is 150 so we can also write it as :
z x 6z = 150
6z to the power 2 = 150
z to the power 2 = 150 divided by 6
= 25
So, z = 5
So Zara's age is 5 so her dad's age must be 30
Answer:
750 grams of 60% alloy
Step-by-step explanation:
Define x = amount of 60% alloy and y = amount of 20% alloy
Equating the amounts of gold:
0.6x+0.2y = 1000(0.5)
Since there must be 1000 grams total:
x+y = 1000
Writing the 2 resulting equations together:
0.6x + 0.2y = 500
x + y = 1000
Multiply the first equation by 5:
3x + y = 2500
x + y = 1000
Subtracting the 2nd equation from the 1st:
2x = 1500
x = 750
Answer: 750 grams of 60% alloy
