$x(x-6)=4(x+6)\ \ \ |use\ distributive\ property\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\x(x)+x(-6)=4(x)+4(6)\\\\x^2-6x=4x+24\ \ \ \ |subtract\ 4x\ and\ 24\ from\ both\ sides\\\\x^2-10x-24=0\\\\x^2-12x+2x-24=0\\\\x(x-12)+2(x-12)=0\iff(x-12)(x+2)=0\\\\therefore\\\\x-12=0\ or\ x+2=0\\\\Answer:\boxed{x=12\ or\ x=-2}$

x(x - 6) = 4(x + 6)
 x(x) - x(6) = 4(x) + 4(6)
 x² - 6x = 4x + 24
 - 4x - 4x 
 x² - 10x = 24
x² - 10x - 24 = 24 - 24
x² - 10x - 24 = 0
x = -(-10) +/- √((-10) - 4(1)(-24))
 2(1)
x = 10 +/- √(100 + 96)
 2
x = 10 +/- √(196)
 2
x = 10 +/- 14
 2
x = 5 + 7
x = 5 + 7 U x = 5 - 7
x = 12 x = -2
The values of x in the equation is either equal to 12 or -2.

Naddik [55]

Answer:

7 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/5 = 12/5

3 1/4 = 13/4

12/5 x 13/4 = 156/20 = 7 16/20

7 16/20 / 4 = 7 4/5

1.Show that the statement p: “If x is a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0, then x is 0” is true by

Genrish500 [490]

If x is a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0 then x is 0”.Let q: x is a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0 r: x is 0.i To show that statement p is true we assume that q is true and then show that r is true.Therefore let statement q be true.∴ x2 + 4x = 0 x x2 + 4 = 0⇒ x = 0 or x2+ 4 = 0However since x is real it is 0.Thus statement r is true.Therefore the given statement is true.ii To show statement p to be true by contradiction we assume that p is not true.Let x be a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0 and let x is not 0.Therefore x3 + 4x = 0 x x2+ 4 = 0 x = 0 or x2 + 4 = 0 x = 0 orx2 = – 4However x is real. Therefore x = 0 which is a contradiction since we have assumed that x is not 0.Thus the given statement p is true.iii To prove statement p to be true by contrapositive method we assume that r is false and prove that q must be false.Here r is false implies that it is required to consider the negation of statement r.This obtains the following statement.∼r: x is not 0.It can be seen that x2 + 4 will always be positive.x ≠ 0 implies that the product of any positive real number with x is not zero.Let us consider the product of x with x2 + 4.∴ x x2 + 4 ≠ 0⇒ x3 + 4x ≠ 0This shows that statement q is not true.Thus it has been proved that∼r ⇒∼qTherefore the given statement p is true.

Typing errors in a text are either nonword errors (as when "the" is typed as "teh") or word errors that result in a real but inc

nordsb [41]

Answer:

a) X is binomial with n = 10 and p = 0.3

Y is binomial with n = 10 and p = 0.7

b) The mean number of errors caught is 7.

The mean number of errors missed is 3.

c) The standard deviation of the number of errors caught is 1.4491.

The standard deviation of the number of errors missed is 1.4491.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each typing error, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is caught, or it is not. The probability of a typing error being caught is independent of other errors. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$
