Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.4096 = 40.96% probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions.
<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>
The formula is:
The parameters are:
- x is the number of successes.
- n is the number of trials.
- p is the probability of a success on a single trial.
Considering that there are 4 questions, and each has 5 choices, the parameters are given as follows:
n = 4, p = 1/5 = 0.2.
The probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions is P(X = 1), hence:
0.4096 = 40.96% probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions.

Answer:
To figure out the common denominator for these fractions, I'll first need to factor that quadratic in the denominator on the right-hand side of the rational equation. This will also allow me to find the disallowed values for this equation. Factoring gives me:
x2 – 6x + 8 = (x – 4)(x – 2)
The factors of the quadratic on the right-hand side "just so happen" to be duplicates of the other denominators. This often happens in these exercises. (So often, in fact, that if you get completely different factors, you should probably go back and check your work.)

Answer:
1.a=2
2. C x=2 and x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form for the quadratic function is
ax^2 +bx+c
so we need to rewrite the function to be in this form
2x^2 -10 = 7x
Subtract 7x from each side
2x^2 -7x-10 = 7x-7x
2x^2 -7x-10 = 0
a =2, b= -7 c=-10
2. The quadratic formula is
-b ± sqrt(b^2 -4ac)
----------------------------
2a
2x^2 + 2x=12
Lest get the equation in proper form
2x^2 + 2x-12 = 12-12
2x^2 +2x-12 =0
a=2 b=2 c=-12
Lets substitute what we know
-2 ± sqrt(2^2 -4(2)(-12))
----------------------------
2(2)
-2 ± sqrt(4+96)
----------------------------
2(2)
-2 ± sqrt(100)
----------------------------

-2 ± 10
