Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - a
If a is a perfect square we could factor
x^2 - b^2 = (x-b)(x+b)
So a cannot be 36,49,81 since they are perfect squares
a must be 12
Answer:
a) 0.06 = 6% probability that a person has both type O blood and the Rh- factor.
b) 0.94 = 94% probability that a person does NOT have both type O blood and the Rh- factor.
Step-by-step explanation:
I am going to solve this question treating these events as Venn probabilities.
I am going to say that:
Event A: Person has type A blood.
Event B: Person has Rh- factor.
43% of people have type O blood
This means that 
15% of people have Rh- factor
This means that 
52% of people have type O or Rh- factor.
This means that 
a. Find the probability that a person has both type O blood and the Rh- factor.
This is

With what we have

0.06 = 6% probability that a person has both type O blood and the Rh- factor.
b. Find the probability that a person does NOT have both type O blood and the Rh- factor.
1 - 0.06 = 0.94
0.94 = 94% probability that a person does NOT have both type O blood and the Rh- factor.
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the common ratio, you compare a few pairs of consecutive terms, by dividing an element by its predecessor.
12 / 72 = 1/6
2 / 12 = 1 / 6
1/3 / 2 = 1 / 6
The ratio is constant... so that's your common ratio to go from one term to the next.
To go from one term to the next, you have to multiply by 1/6.
Answer is: 2x=12, 14, 16, and 18
