The correct expression is (a) n = 100; (x + 10)^2

<h3>How to determine the value of n?</h3>

The expression is given as:

x^2 + 20x + n

Take the coefficient of x

k = 20

Divide by 2

k/2= 10

Square both sides

(k/2)^2 = 100

The above value represents the value of n

i.e.

n = 100

So, we have:

x^2 + 20x + 100

Expand

x^2 + 10x + 10x + 100

Factorize

x(x + 10) + 10(x + 10)

Factor out x + 10

(x + 10)^2

Hence, the correct expression is (a) n = 100; (x + 10)^2

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Helen requires 15$ more to buy the three books.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Cost of dictionary = $7

Cost of dinosaur book = $16

Cost of cook book = $17

Helen's allowance = $25

Total cost of three books =

$=7 +16+17\\=\$ 40$

Extra money required to buy three books =

$=40-25\\=\$15$

Thus, Helen requires 15$ more to buy the three books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are seven trails with a probability of success is $p=\frac{1}{4}$

$\therefore q=1-p\\q=1-\frac{1}{4}\\q=\frac{3}{4}$

Using the binomial distribution, the Probability of exactly no success i.e. x=0 is given by

$\Rightarrow ^7C_0\cdot p^0 \cdot q^{7-0}\\\Rightarrow 1\times(\frac{1}{4})^0 \cdot (\frac{3}{4})^7\\\Rightarrow 1\times 1 \cdot (0.75)^7\\\Rightarrow 0.1334$
