The function is:
f ( x ) = x² - x - 72
This is a quatdratic function. So we can find the zeroes of the function with the formula:
x 1/2 = ( - b +/- √(b² - 4 ac) ) / ( 2a )
And we have: a = 1, b = - 1 and c = - 72
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- √((-1)² - 4 · 1· ( - 72 )) ) / 2
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- √( 1 + 288 ) ) / 2
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- √289 ) / 2
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- 17 ) / 2
x 1 = ( 1 - 17 ) 2 = - 16 / 2 = - 8
x 2 = ( 1 + 17 ) / 2 = 18 / 2 = 9
Answer: The zeroes are - 8 and 9.
<span>Simplifying
x4 = 16
Solving
x4 = 16
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Simplifying
x4 = 16
Reorder the terms:
-16 + x4 = 16 + -16
Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
-16 + x4 = 0
Factor a difference between two squares.
(4 + x2)(-4 + x2) = 0
Factor a difference between two squares.
(4 + x2)((2 + x)(-2 + x)) = 0
Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(4 + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
4 + x2 = 0
Solving
4 + x2 = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + x2 = 0 + -4
Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + x2 = 0 + -4
x2 = 0 + -4
Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
x2 = -4
Simplifying
x2 = -4
The solution to this equation could not be determined.
This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(2 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
2 + x = 0
Solving
2 + x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + x = 0 + -2
Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + x = 0 + -2
x = 0 + -2
Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
x = -2
Simplifying
x = -2
Sub-problem 3
Set the factor '(-2 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
-2 + x = 0
Solving
-2 + x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + x = 0 + 2
Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + x = 0 + 2
x = 0 + 2
Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
x = 2
Simplifying
x = 2Solutionx = {-2, 2}</span>
Answer:
The probability that carbon emissions from the company’s factory exceed the permissible level is 35%.
That means the probability that the carbon emissions at within permissible level are 65%
The test, which has an accuracy rate of 85%, which means 85% of positive reading has a positive result. The positive reading indicates that the factory's carbon emissions are within the permissible level.
the answer is .9132
