X² - 3x - 4 = 0
Reverse FOIL method . . .
(x - 4)(x + 1) = 0
one of the paranthesis has to be equal to zero if the other is not . . .
x - 4 = 0
<u><em>x = 4</em></u>
x + 1 = 0
<u><em>x = -1</em></u>
C and D tell me if those are wrong because i'm only a beginner and i would like to learn from my mistakes
Answer:
0.4460 = 44.60% probability that none of the 8 surnames of these authors were among the 10 most common
Step-by-step explanation:
For each surname, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are among the 10 most common, or they are not. Each author is independent of each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

In which
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.
These names account for 9.6% of all U.S. residents.
This means that 
8 authors in total.
This means that 
What is the probability that none of the 8 surnames of these authors were among the 10 most common
This is
. So


0.4460 = 44.60% probability that none of the 8 surnames of these authors were among the 10 most common
Answer:
DE = 4.24
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram is not shown; However, the question can still be solved without the diagram.
Having said that,.
Given that
DF = EF = 3
This implies that DE is the hypothenus and will be solved using Pythagoras theorem.
DE² = EF² + DF²
Substitute 3 for EF and DF
DE² = 3² + 3²
DE² = 9 + 9
DE² = 18
Take Square Root of both sides
DE = √18
DE = 4.242640687119285
DE = 4.24 (Approximated)
Answer:
4 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
The fraction you have is 58 square feet /12 hour how many times does 12 go into 58 it goes into 58 evenly 4 times 4*12=48
58/12 - 48/12 = 10/12 which can be reduced to 5/6 because 2 goes into 10 and 12 evenly
