Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question the equation

y = -x² + 2x - 1

To find the x-intercept, substitute in 0 for y

0 = -x² + 2x - 1

To find value of x use quadratic equation

x = -b ± √b²-4ac / 2a

here a = -1

b = 2

c = -1

x1 = -2 + √2²-4(-1)(-1) / 2(-1)

= -2 + 0 / -2

= -2 / -2

= 1

x2 = -2 - √2²-4(-1)(-1) / 2(-1)

= -2 - 0 / -2

= -2 / -2

= 1

A study showed that 25% of the students drive themselves to school. Based on the suggested probability, in a class of 18 student

Gwar [14]

Answer:

B) 0.283

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

25% of the students drive themselves to school.

This means that $p = 0.25$

Class of 18 students

This means that $n = 18$

What would be the probability that at least 6 students drive themselves to school?

This is

$P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6)$

In which

$P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)$

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{15,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{18} = 0.006$

$P(X = 1) = C_{15,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{17} = 0.034$

$P(X = 2) = C_{15,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{16} = 0.096$

$P(X = 3) = C_{15,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{15} = 0.17$

$P(X = 4) = C_{15,4}.(0.25)^{4}.(0.75)^{14} = 0.213$

$P(X = 5) = C_{15,5}.(0.25)^{5}.(0.75)^{13} = 0.199$

$P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.006 + 0.034 + 0.096 + 0.17 + 0.213 + 0.199 = 0.718$

$P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6) = 1 - 0.718 = 0.282$

Closest option is B, just a small rounding difference.

I need help, please. PLEASE, I NEED IT FAST.

Answer:

Hint: x is a negative number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is x + 12 = -6 and you are trying to find x. The easiest way to solve this equation is by first subtracting 12 from both sides. It would look like x + 12 - 12 = -6 - 12. Since positive 12 and negative 12 are opposite and equal, they cancel each other out. This can be drawn as well into circles and crossed out for every positive circle with a negative circle. As for -6 and -12, you can use the same method of drawing circles, (trust me they can be very helpful, especially for people like me who need to see it visually before getting a hang of it). Since both are negatives, you would have to add them together and that would give you x.

(Please reply if you still have questions. :) Have a wonderful day)
