Answer:

x=-15

Step-by-step explanation:

Change 2 to a denominator of 4 2x4=8

1/12x+8/4=3/4 (take away 8/4)

1/12x=-5/4 ( 5multiply by 12)

x=-60/4 (divided by 3)

x=-15

Answer:

$y=2x^2-4x-8$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Factored form of a parabola</u>

$y=a(x-p)(x-q)$

where:

p and q are the x-intercepts.
a is some constant.

Given x-intercepts:

(1+√5, 0)
(1-√5, 0)

Therefore:

$\implies y=a(x-(1+\sqrt{5}))(x-(1-\sqrt{5}))$

$\implies y=a(x-1-\sqrt{5})(x-1+\sqrt{5})$

To find a, substitute the given point (4, 8) into the equation and solve for a:

$\implies a(4-1-\sqrt{5})(4-1+\sqrt{5})=8$

$\implies a(3-\sqrt{5})(3+\sqrt{5})=8$

$\implies4a=8$

$\implies a=2$

Therefore, the equation of the parabola in factored form is:

$\implies y=2(x-1-\sqrt{5})(x-1+\sqrt{5})$

Expand so that the equation is in standard form:

$\implies y=2(x^2-x+\sqrt{5}x-x+1-\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{5}x+\sqrt{5}-5)$

$\implies y=2(x^2-x-x+\sqrt{5}x-\sqrt{5}x+\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{5}+1-5)$

$\implies y=2(x^2-2x-4)$

$\implies y=2x^2-4x-8$

To get to school you can travel by car, bus or bicycle. If you travel by car, there is a 50% chance you will be late because the

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

a) 16.66%

b) 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the teacher assumes each of the three possibilities are equally likely, then he assumes 33.33% to each one.

In this case the probability that you traveled to school that day by car would be

50% of 33.33% = (0.5)(0.3333) = 0.1666 = 16.66%

In this case, the teacher would assume

90% ride on bicycle

0% take the bus

10% travel by car

So, in this case the probability would be

50% of 10% = (0.5)(0.1) = 0.05 = 5%
