Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the roots equate the factors to zero, that is

(x + 2)(x² + 7x + 10) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

x² + 7x + 10 = 0

(x + 2)(x + 5) = 0

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

roots are x = - 5 and x = - 2 with multiplicity 2

What is the probability of rolling an even number or a perfect square using a 20-sided die?

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

C) 12/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Between 1 and 20, 10 numbers are even, 4 numbers are perfect squares (1, 4, 9, and 16), and 2 numbers are both even and perfect squares (4 and 16).

So the probability is:

(10 + 4 − 2) / 20 = 12/20.

Find AB distance. Please help

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Solution,

Let,(x1,y1)=(-4,-3)

(x2,y2)=(3,5)

Using distance formula,

AB=√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

=√(3+4)²+(5+3)²

=√49+64

=√113 units.
