Answer:

Smoking and bad diet

Step-by-step explanation:

A risk is said to be avoidable if it is an habit of the person(smoking or bad diet), or something related to where the person lives, for example bad quality of the air.

In this problem, we have that Sam has a family history of cardiovascular disease. So in this case, the family history is an unavoidable risk factor, that is, something that no matter what Sam does, is going to be there. However, both smoking and being overweight leads to cardiovascular problems, so added to the family history, there is an even higher change that Sam has cardiovascular problems. Since he can stop smoking and start having a better diet, both smoking and bad diet are avoidable risk factors.

Solve the following quadratic by
Ainat [17]

Answer:

{x  = -1 + √13  ,  x  = -1 - √13}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Completing the square</em></u>:

f(x) = x² + 2x - 12

     = x² + 2x + 1 - 1 - 12

     = (x² + 2x + 1) - 1 - 12

     = (x + 1)² - 13

<u><em>Solving</em></u>:

f(x) = 0

⇔ (x + 1)² - 13 = 0

⇔ (x + 1)² = 13

⇔ x + 1 = √13  or  x + 1 = -√13

⇔ x  = -1 + √13  or  x  = -1 - √13

How would I solve this
irinina [24]

Answer:

  • 570 mph
  • 610 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the slower plane. The faster plane's speed is then x+40. The sum of speeds is ...

   x + (x+40) = 1180

  2x = 1140 . . . . subtract 40

  x = 570 . . . . . .divide by 2

  x+40 = 610 . . . . the speed of the faster plane

The two speeds are 570 mph and 610 mph.
