So probobillity is total sucsesses over total possible or TS/TP so

11/15 so the probobility is 11/15 or 0.73

Since its 11 baskets in 15 throws... The probablitity that she will make it would be
11 out of 15

Find the set of values of k for which the line y=kx-4 intersects the curve y=x²-2x at 2 distinct points?

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

$-6 < k < 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = x^2 - 2x$

$y =kx -4$

Required

Possible values of k

The general quadratic equation is:

$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

Subtract $y = x^2 - 2x$ and $y =kx -4$

$y - y = x^2 - 2x - kx +4$

$0 = x^2 - 2x - kx +4$

Factorize:

$0 = x^2 +x(-2 - k) +4$

Rewrite as:

$x^2 +x(-2 - k) +4=0$

Compare the above equation to: $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

$a = 1$

$b= -2-k$

$c =4$

For the equation to have two distinct solution, the following must be true:

$b^2 - 4ac > 0$

So, we have:

$(-2-k)^2 -4*1*4>0$

$(-2-k)^2 -16>0$

Expand

$4 +4k+k^2-16>0$

Rewrite as:

$k^2 + 4k - 16 + 4 >0$

$k^2 + 4k - 12 >0$

Expand

$k^2 + 6k-2k - 12 >0$

Factorize

$k(k + 6)-2(k + 6) >0$

Factor out k + 6

$(k -2)(k + 6) >0$

Split:

$k -2 > 0$ or $k + 6> 0$

So:

$k > 2$ or k $> -6$

To make the above inequality true, we set:

$k < 2$ or $k >-6$

So, the set of values of k is:

$-6 < k < 2$

Ray Of Light [21]

I hope this helps you

x=5+y

5 (5+y)+2y= 4

25+5y+2y=4

7y= -21

y= -3

x=5+y
