Please write that as x^2 - x - 12 (the "^" symbol denotes exponentiation).

x^2 - x - 12 factors to (x + 3)(x - 4), Check this by multiplication:

x^2 + 3x - 4x - 12 = x^2 - x - 12 (OK).

Answer: The unit of tiles that are needed to complete the factorization are

$(x-4)(x+3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$x^2-x-12=0$

We need to factorise the above quadratic equation:

We use "Split the middle term":

$x^2-x-12=0\\\\x^2-4x+3x-12=0\\\\x(x-4)+3(x-4)=0\\\\(x-4)(x+3)=0$

Hence, the unit of tiles that are needed to complete the factorization are

$(x-4)(x+3)$

Marie, Shelia, and Martha bought snacks for a girl's sleepover. They each bought the items shown in the following table at the l

creativ13 [48]

Using a system of equations, it is found that the unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.

For the system:

x is the unit price of a bag of chips.

y is the unit price of liter of pop.

z is the unit price for a chocolate bar.

From the table, the equations are:

$2x + 2y + z = 9.25$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

Replacing the <u>first equation on the second and the third:</u>

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$3x + 4y + 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 14.50$

$x + 2y = 5.25$

$x = 5.25 - 2y$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

$x + 3y + 3(9.25 - 2x - 2y) = 12$

$-5x - 3y = -15.75$

$5x + 3y = 15.75$

Since $x = 5.25 - 2y$ :

$5(5.25 - 2y) + 3y = 15.75$

$-7y = -10.5$

$y = \frac{10.5}{7}$

$y = 1.5$

Then:

$x = 5.25 - 2y = 5.25 - 2(1.5) = 2.25$

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 9.25 - 2(2.25) - 2(1.5) = 1.75$

The unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.

The mean survivial time after diagnosis for a certain disease is 15 years with a standard deviation of 5 years. Based on a parti

frutty [35]

Answer:

The time the patient expected to survive after diagnosis is 29 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that the mean survival time after diagnosis for a certain disease is 15 years with a standard deviation of 5 years.

That is,

$\mu=15\\\sigma=5$

An individual's predicted survival time is <em>a</em> = 2.8 standard deviations beyond the mean.

Compute the time the patient expected to survive after diagnosis as follows:

$X=\mu+a\sigma$

$=15+(2.8\times 5)\\\\=15+14\\\\=29$

Thus, the time the patient expected to survive after diagnosis is 29 years.
