First, we can factor out a 2 from the equation:

2(x²-4x-12)=0

Divide by 2 to simplify

x²-4x-12=0

Now to factor, we must find what multiplies to -12, but adds to get -4. I can tell you know, the numbers are -6 and 2 (Through time you will learn to get faster with factoring)

Now we set it up as so:

(x-6)(x+2) = 0

Now to find the solutions, you must find how to get each set of parenthesis equal to 0.
x-6=0
x=6 is a solution

x+2=0
x=-2 is a solution as well.

So your answer is x=6 and -2 (Answer Choice C)

I Hope this Helps!

Answer:

There is a 90.32% probability that the cake was baked by Doug.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 70% probability that Doug bakes the cake.

A 30% probability that Jeremy bakes the cake.

A 40% probability that a cake baked by Doug gets a thumbs up.

A 10% that a cake baked by Jeremy gets a thumbs up.

One cake was selected at random on 10/01/2014 and got a "thumbs up".

1. Find the probability that the cake was baked by Doug.

The probability that a baked cake gets a thumbs up is:

$P = 0.7*0.4 + 0.3*0.10 = 0.31$

Of those, 0.7*0.4 = 0.28 are baked by Doug.

So the probability is:

$P = \frac{0.28}{0.31} = 0.9032$

There is a 90.32% probability that the cake was baked by Doug.

Answer:

8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first bounce, the height that the ball reaches was 125 inches.

If the ball always bounces back to $\frac{2}{5}$ of the height, then after 2nd bounce it will reach $(125 \times \frac{2}{5}) = 50$ inches height.
