Step-by-step explanation:

$x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-6\pm \sqrt{6^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-16\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}\\\sqrt{6^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-16\right)}\\\sqrt{6^2+64}\\\sqrt{36+64}\\\sqrt{100}\\\sqrt{10^2}\\=10\\x_1=\frac{-6+10}{2\cdot \:1},\:x_2=\frac{-6-10}{2\cdot \:1}\\\\\bold{x_1:2}\\\frac{-6+10}{2\cdot \:1}\\\frac{4}{2\cdot \:1}\\\frac{4}{2}\\=2\\\\\bold{x_2:-8}\\\frac{-6-10}{2\cdot \:1}\\\frac{-16}{2\cdot \:1}\\\frac{-16}{2}\\-\frac{16}{2}\\=-8$

Answer:

x₁ = 2

x₂ = -8

What is the y-coordinate for the solution to the system of equations?<br><br> {y=1/2x−4<br> {y=−2x+1

katovenus [111]

Answer:

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

{y = x/2 - 4

y = 1 - 2 x

Substitute y = x/2 - 4 into the second equation:

{y = x/2 - 4

x/2 - 4 = 1 - 2 x

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = x/2 - 4

x/2 - 4 = 1 - 2 x

Add 2 x + 4 to both sides:

{y = x/2 - 4

(5 x)/2 = 5

Multiply both sides by 2/5:

{y = x/2 - 4

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into the first equation:

{y = -3

x = 2

suppose 5 men and 7 women are on a crowded elevator. at the next floor, four people get off the elevator. find the probability t

lubasha [3.4K]

The total number of arrangements for all of them to be women is:
C(7, 4) because the order does not matter; we'd still have the same arrangements.

Now, we can simplify this:
$C(7, 4) = \frac{7!}{4!(7 - 4)!}$
$= \frac{5040}{4!3!}$
$= \frac{5040}{24 \cdot 6}$
$= \frac{5040}{144} = 35$

Now, the total number of arrangements, without restriction, is simply: C(12, 4) because we don't care who we pick.

$\text{P(4 women): } \frac{35}{495} = \frac{7}{99}$

The number of accidents that occur

wel

Answer: 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected number of accidents is a weighted average of the potential number of accidents and their probabilities:

= (0 * 0.935) + (1 * 0.03) + (2 * 0.02) + (3 * 0.01) + (4 * 0.005)

= 0.12

Help what polynomials are there??

N76 [4]

Answer:

All of them are polynomials except c.

Step-by-step explanation:

Polynomials are in the form:

$a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+a_4x^4+a_5x^5+a_6x^6+\cdots +a_nx^n$

You can see here there are no extra symbols like square root, cube root, absolute value, and so on on the variable x...

We also don't have division by a variable. All the exponents are whole numbers.

a) While it has a square root, it is not on a variable so a is a polynomial. The exponents on the variables are whole numbers.

b) b is a polynomial also because all the exponents are whole numbers.

c) This is not a polynomial because there is a square root on a variable.

d) This is a polynomial. All the exponents are whole numbers.
