Hi there!
We are given the equation w² + 7w + 12 = 0, and we are told to solve it. Well, we can first take all the factors of 12 -
1 12
2 6
3 4
Now, take the sum of each factor pair -
1, 12 = 13
2, 6 = 8
3, 4 = 7
Find which factor pair adds up to 7, and we can see that 3 and 4 add up to seven, while also having a product of 12. Therefore, since the whole equation has addition signs, we can factor the equation w² + 7w + 12 into (w + 3)(w + 4) = 0. Next, using the Zero Product Property, we can set each term to zero.
w + 3 = 0
w = -3

w + 4 = 0
w = -4
Therefore, the solution to the equation w² + 7w + 12 = 0 is w = -3, -4. Hope this helped and have a great day!

seropon [69]

Answer:

f ○ g(x) = x and g ○ f(x) = x is the correct composition

Step-by-step explanation:

INVERSE FUNCTIONS: Two functions are said to be inverse of each other if for every y = f(x), there exists a function g(x),

such that x = $f^{-1} (y)$ = g(y)

Now, here if we need to show tha two functions f(x) and g(x) are inverse functions of each other , then show that for every x:

1. f o g(x) = f(g(x))= x

2. g o f(x) = g(f(x)) = x

If any two functions satisfy these two conditions, then they are inverse of each other.

in a standard casino dice game the roller wins on the first roll if he rolls a sum of 7 or 11. what is the probability of winnin

Alborosie

<u>Answer-</u>

<em>The probability of winning on the first roll is </em><em>0.22</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

As in the game of casino, two dice are rolled simultaneously.

So the sample space would be,

$|S|=6^2=36$

Let E be the event such that the sum of two numbers are 7, so

E = {(1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1)}

$|E|=56$

$\therefore P(E)=\dfrac{|E|}{|S|}=\dfrac{6}{36}$

Let F be the event such that the sum of two numbers are 11, so

F = {(6,5), (5,6)}

$|F|=2$

$\therefore P(F)=\dfrac{|F|}{|S|}=\dfrac{2}{36}$

Now,

$P(\text{sum is 7 or 11)}=P(E\ \cup\ F)=P(E)+P(F)=\dfrac{6}{36}+\dfrac{2}{36}=\dfrac{8}{36}=\dfrac{2}{9}=0.22$
