The formula is 

 b^2<span> – 4(a)(c) 

</span>so

b^2 - 4(a)(c) = 4^2 - 4x (-1)x (-2) =
16 - 8 = 8

The answer is 8.

The number of text messages sent daily by a student is a poisson random variable with parameter λ=5 .in a class with 20 independ
Rudik [331]
This problem is a combination of the Poisson distribution and binomial distribution.

First, we need to find the probability of a single student sending less than 6 messages in a day, i.e.
P(X<6)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)+P(X=5)
=0.006738+0.033690+0.084224+0.140374+0.175467+0.175467
= 0.615961

For ALL 20 students to send less than 6 messages, the probability is
P=C(20,20)*0.615961^20*(1-0.615961)^0
=6.18101*10^(-5)   or approximately
=0.00006181

Write an equation to represent the number puzzle. Use x as the
k0ka [10]
<h3>The equation is:</h3><h3>x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0</h3><h3>The number is 3 or 4</h3><h3><em><u>Solution:</u></em></h3>

Given that,

7 added to the square of a number is equal to 7 times the number,  minus 5

Let "x" be the unknown number

From given,

7 added to square of x = 7 times the x minus, 5

7 + x^2 = 7x - 5

Solve the above equation

x^2 -7x +7+5 = 0\\\\x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0

Split the middle term

x^2 -3x - 4x + 12 = 0\\\\Group\ the\ expressions\\\\(x^2-3x) -(4x - 12)  = 0\\\\Take\ the\ common\ factor\ out\\\\x(x -3) -4(x -3) = 0\\\\(x-3)(x-4) = 0

We have two solutions

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

And

x - 4 = 0

x = 4

Thus number is 3 or 4
