If you know that -2 is a zero of f(x) = x^3 + 7x^2 + 4x - 12, explain how to solve the equation.

First you have to figure out what could make f(x) = 0 to get rid of the cube. I'm going to test the array of data, x = -2, x = -3, and x = -4 because this type of equation probably has more negative values given that if you plug in some values the cubed-values and squared-values will surpass the "-12". Plug this into a calculator.
x^3 + 7x^2 + 4x - 12
f(-2) = -8 + 28 - 8 - 12 = 0

So you know that when x = -2, f(x) = 0. Divide "(x + 2)" from the equation and you will get... x^2 + 5x - 6. Now this is a simple polynomial one that you can figure to be (x + 6) (x - 1) just by looking at it because -6 multiplied by 1 is negative 6 and you see 5 and know that 6 - 1 = 5.

The solution is (x + 6) (x - 1) (x + 2) meaning that when x = -6, 1, or -2, f(x) is 0.

Using the binomial distribution, there is a 0.0874 = 8.74% probability that not enough seats will be available.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

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.

For this problem, the values of the parameters are given by:

n = 15, p = 0.85.

The probability that not enough seats will be available is P(X = 15), as the only outcome in which not enough seats will be available is when all 15 people who bought the ticket show up, hence:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 15) = C_{15,15}.(0.85)^{15}.(0.15)^{0} = 0.0874$
