Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic equation can be factorised if and only if there are rational roots.
For any quadratic equation the discriminant decides about the nature of roots.
Thus only if the discriminant is a perfect square we can have rational roots and in this case only factorization is possible.
In the given equation
Since 1 is a perfect square we can factor and solve
Answer:
The minimum score required for admission is 21.9.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:
A university plans to admit students whose scores are in the top 40%. What is the minimum score required for admission?
Top 40%, so at least 100-40 = 60th percentile. The 60th percentile is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.6. So it is X when Z = 0.255. So
The minimum score required for admission is 21.9.
Answer: A- x - 0.20x = 0.8x
Step-by-step explanation:
Greater
If we get common denominators
1/2=15/30
3/15=6/30
15>6 therefore 1/2>3/15
