$x^2 + 2x = 24\\x^2+2x+1=25\\(x+1)^2=25\\x+1=5 \vee x+1=-5\\\x=4 \vee x=-6$

Answer:

x = - 6, x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 2x = 24 ( subtract 24 from both sides )

x² + 2x - 24 = 0

To factorise the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 24) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 2)

The factors are + 6 and - 4, since

6 × - 4 = - 24 and 6 - 4 = + 2, hence

(x + 6)(x - 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = - 6

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Its four because:

4 x 3 = 12

12 + 4 = 16

4 x 4 = 16

Four times times three plus four is like saying four times four.

Suppose a random variable, x, arises from a binomial experiment. If n = 6, and p = 0.30, find the following probabilities using

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

a) P(X=1) = 0.302526

b) P(X=5) = 0.010206

c) P(X=3) = 0.18522

d) P(X≤3) = 0.92953

e) P(X≥5) = 0.010935

f) P(X≤4) = 0.989065

Explanation:

Binomial experiments are modeled by the formula:

$P(X=x)=C(n,x)\cdot p^x\cdot (1-p)^{(n-x)}$

Where

P(X=x) is the probability of exactly x successes

$C(n,x)=\dfrac{n!}{x!\cdot (n-x)!}$

p is the probability of one success, which must be the same for every trial, and every trial must be independent of other trial.

n is the number of trials

1 - p is the probability of fail

there are only two possible outcomes for each trial: success or fail.

a.) P (x=1)

$P(X=1)=\dfrac{6!}{1!\cdot (6-1)!}\times (0.3)^1\times(1-0.3)^{(6-1)}=0.302526$

b.) P (x=5)

$P(X=5)=\dfrac{5!}{5!\cdot (6-5)!}\times (0.3)^5\times (1-0.3)^{(6-5)}=0.010206$

c.) P (x=3)

Using the same formula:

$P(X=3)=0.18522$

d.) P (x less than or equal to 3)

P(X≤3)= P(X=3) + P(X=2) + P(X=1) + P(X=0)

Also,

P(X≤3) = 1 - P(X≥4) = 1 - P(X=4) - P(X=5) - P(X=6)

You can use either of those approaches. The result is the same.

Using the second one:

P(X=4) = 0.059335
P(X=5) = 0.010206
P(X=6) = 0.000729

P(X≤3) = 1 - 0.05935 - 0.010206 - 0.000729 = 0.92953

e.) P(x greather than or equal to 5)

P(X≥5) = P(X=5) + P(X=6)

P(X≥5) = 0.010206 + 0.000729 = 0.010935

f.) P(x less than or equal 4)

P(X≤4) = 1 - P(X≥5) = 1 - P(X=5) - P(X=6)

P(X≤4) = 1 - 0.010206 - 0.000729 = 0.989065
