Complete the square

since a=1 for ax²+bx²+c=0
we can do
take 1/2 of the linear coefient and square it
-6/2=-3, (-3)²=9
add that to both sides

x²-3x+9-25=9
factor perfect square trinomial
(x-3)²-25=9
add 25 to both sides
(x-3)²=34
sqrt both sides, rmember to take positive and negative roots
x-3=+/-√34
add 3
x=3+/-√34

x=3+√34 or 3-√34

Answer:

About 5.5, but it is technically closer to 5.6 so I am not entirely sure

Step-by-step explanation:

Since EB and DC are parallel, triangles ABE and ACD are similar by AA. Therefore:

\dfrac{x}{10}=\dfrac{10}{18} \\\\\\x=10\cdot \dfrac{10}{18}\approx 5.5

Hope this helps!

sasho [114]

Answer:

0.3 or 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since no innocent student will ever be caught, the probability that a student sends an email and/or text message during a lecture AND gets caught is given by the product of the probability of a student sending a message (60%) by the probability of the professor catching them (50%) :

P = 0.5*0.6 = 0.3

The probability is 0.3 or 30%.
