Let x^2+2x-15 =0 use quadratic formula to find the roots. (roots are whole numbers)

1 answer:

4 0

Hello!

We have:

X^2 + 2x-15 = 0

Where:

a = 1
b = 2
c = -15

Delta = b^2 -4.a.c

D = 2^2 - 4.1.(-15)

D = 4 + 60

D = 64

We know,

x = [ -b+/-Raiz(delta)]/2a

x = [ -2 +/- Raiz(64)]/2

x = [-2 +/- 8]/2

Then,

x' = (-2-8)/2 <=> -5

And

x" = (-2+8)/2 <=> 3

Your English teacher has decided to randomly assign poems for the class to read. The syllabus includes four poems by Shakespeare

Tresset [83]

The probability of event A and B to both occur is denoted as P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B|A). It is the probability that Event A occurs times the probability that Event B occurs, given that Event A has occurred.

So, to find the probability that you will be assigned a poem by Shakespeare and by Tennyson, let Event A = the event that a Shakespeare poem will be assigned to you; and let Event B = the event that the second poem that will be assigned to you will be by Tennyson.

At first, there are a total of 13 poems that would be randomly assigned in your class. There are 4 poems by Shakespeare, thus P(A) is 4/13.
After the first selection, there would be 13 poems left. Therefore, P(B|A) = 2/12
Based on the rule of multiplication,
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B|A)P(A ∩ B) = 4/13 * 2/12
P(A ∩ B) = 8/156
P(A ∩ B) = 2/39

The probability that you will be assigned a poem by Shakespeare, then a poem by Tennyson is 2/39 or 5.13%.

Answer: There are 2.25×10³⁴ bacteria at the end of 24 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of bacteria initially = 1

It triples in number every 20 minutes.

So, $\dfrac{20}{60}=\dfrac{1}{3}$
