What are the roots of the equation x^2+6x-9=0

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mila [183]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = approx. 1.24 or -7.24

Step-by-step explanation:

It's hard to factor directly so we should use the quadratic formula or complete the square. I'm going to go with completing the square.

x²+6x-9=0

x²+6x=9

x²+6x is the same as x²+2·3·x, in order to make this into the algebraic identity (A+B)²=A²+2AB+B², we must add B², or in this case 3² to both sides. (A is x, B is 3)

x²+6x+9=18

(x+3)²= 18

x+3= ±√18

x= ±4.24 -3 (approximately 4.24)

First solution for  x = 4.24-3 = 1.24

Second solution for x = -4.24-3 = -7.24

Are G and F mutually exclusive events? Explain. G and F are mutually exclusive because if you are not a finalist, then you canno
Alika [10]

Answer: G and F are mutually exclusive because they cannot occur together

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the definition of mutually exclusive events,

The events which can not occur together and probability of them occurring together is 0 are known as mutually exclusive events.

The first statement gives an implication that if one happens then other happens meaning they could both still happen so it is not true.

The second statement contradict the question about being mutually exclusive events.

The third statement also is a implication that if one event occurs then other does or does not occur.

The last statement is correct one that conforms with the question and obeys the definition of mutually exclusive events.
