That trinomial can't be factored. You would have to complete the square to factor it and even then your answer would be an imaginary number. 

x² + x + 12 = 0
x² + x = - 12
x² + x + 1/4 = - 12 + 1/4
x² + x + 1/4 = - 11 3/4
x² + x + 1/4 = - 47/4

(x + 1/2)² = - 47/4 
x + 1/2 = +/- √(- 47/4) 
x + 1/2 = +/- \frac{47}{4}i

x = 1/2 +/- \frac{47}{4}i

If the constant was a negative, it would be factor-able (is that a word?).

Answer:

x≤0 ⇒|x-3|+5|x| = -6x + 3

0≤x≤3 ⇒ |x-3|+5|x| = 4x + 3

x≥3 ⇒ |x-3|+5|x| = 6x - 3

Seventy percent of all vehicles examined at a certain emissions inspection station pass the inspection. Assuming that successive
NeX [460]

Answer:

(a) 0.343

(b) 0.657

(c) 0.189

(d) 0.216

(e) 0.353

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P(a vehicle passing the test) = p

                        p = \frac{70}{100} = 0.7  

Let P(a vehicle not passing the test) = q

                         q = 1 - p

                         q = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

(a) P(all of the next three vehicles inspected pass) = P(ppp)

                           = 0.7 × 0.7 × 0.7

                           = 0.343

(b) P(at least one of the next three inspected fails) = P(qpp or qqp or pqp or pqq or ppq or qpq or qqq)

      = (0.3 × 0.7 × 0.7) + (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.7) + (0.7 × 0.3 × 0.7) + (0.7 × 0.3 × 0.3) + (0.7 × 0.7 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.7 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.3)

      = 0.147 + 0.063 + 0.147 + 0.063 + 0.147 + 0.063 + 0.027

      = 0.657

(c) P(exactly one of the next three inspected passes) = P(pqq or qpq or qqp)

                 =  (0.7 × 0.3 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.7 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.7)

                 = 0.063 + 0.063 + 0.063

                 = 0.189

(d) P(at most one of the next three vehicles inspected passes) = P(pqq or qpq or qqp or qqq)

                 =  (0.7 × 0.3 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.7 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.7) + (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.3)

                 = 0.063 + 0.063 + 0.063 + 0.027

                 = 0.216

(e) Given that at least one of the next 3 vehicles passes inspection, what is the probability that all 3 pass (a conditional probability)?

P(at least one of the next three vehicles inspected passes) = P(ppp or ppq or pqp or qpp or pqq or qpq or qqp)

=  (0.7 × 0.7 × 0.7) + (0.7 × 0.7 × 0.3) + (0.7 × 0.3 × 0.7) + (0.3 × 0.7 × 0.7) + (0.7 × 0.3 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.7 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.7)

= 0.343 + 0.147 + 0.147 + 0.147 + 0.063 + 0.063 + 0.063

                  = 0.973  

With the condition that at least one of the next 3 vehicles passes inspection, the probability that all 3 pass is,

                         = \frac{P(all\ of\ the\ next\ three\ vehicles\ inspected\ pass)}{P(at\ least\ one\ of\ the\ next\ three\ vehicles\ inspected\ passes)}

                         = \frac{0.343}{0.973}

                         = 0.353

In a seventh grade class, the ratio of boys to girls is 3/9. there are 28 students in the class. Which equation show how to find
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Hey there! ok , so your equation would be 28 / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation would be 28/3 because there are 28 students in the class and the ratio of boys to girls is 3-9 meaning that it is 1/3, which is the same as dividing by 3, so the equation would be 28/3
