Factor x^2 + x - 6

(x - 2)(x + 3) = 0

Solve for x

Ask yourself; When will (x - 2)(x + 3) equal zero?

When x - 2 = 0 or x + 3 = 0

Then solve for each of the two equations above

x = 2, -3

Answer:

C. 2, -3

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + x - 6 = 0

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to -6 and add to 1

3*-2 =6

3-2 =1

(x+3) (x-2) =0

Using the zero product property

x+3 = 0 x-2 =0

x+3-3= 0-3 x-2+2 =0+2

x = -3 x =2

Sav [38]

Answer:

0.0006087 (4 sf)

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial distribution: X ~ B(n, p)

where n is the number of trials and p is the probability of success

Let the random variable X be the number of people with brown eyes

n = 14

p = 40% = 0.4

Therefore, X ~ B(14, 0.4)

P(X ≥ 12) = 1 - P(X ≤ 11)

= 1 - 0.9993913226...

= 0.000608677...
