For the equation x2 + 2x − 8 = 0, what is the sum of the solutions?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Katen [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 2x − 8 = 0

What 2 numbers multiply to -8 and add to 2

4*-2 = -8

4-2 = 2

(x+4) (x-2)=0

Using the zero product property

x+4 =0         x-2=0

x+4-4 =0-4      x-2+2=0+2

x = -4               x=2

We want the sum of the solutions

-4+2 = -2

The paper usage at a small copy center is normally distributed with a mean of 5 boxes of paper per week, and a standard deviatio
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

1.649 approximately 2

Step-by-step explanation:

S.d = standard deviation = 0.5

Time taken = lead time = 2 weeks

Mean = demand for week = 5 boxes

We are required to find the safety stock to maintain at 99% service level.

At 99% level, the Z value is equal to 2.326.

Therefore,

Safety stock = z × s.d × √Lt

= 2.326 × 0.5 x √2

= 1.649

Which is approximately 2.

What is the value of x to the nearest tenth
marishachu [46]

You will have to use trig to solve this:

The side you have is adjacent to the known angle

The side you are looking for is opposite the known angle

^^^This means you need to use tan:

tan(24) = \frac{x}{12}

.445222 = \frac{x}{12}

^^^input tan(24) into calculator, then multiply 12 to both sides to isolate and solve for x

5.3 ≈ x

Hope this helped!

You roll a number cube twice what is the probability of rolling a 2
Colt1911 [192]

The probability of getting a 5 from the first rolling is 1/6.  The probability of getting an even number  is 1/2 (= 1/6 (for a 2) + 1/6 (for a 4) + 1/6 (for a 6)).  As the two rollings are independent, you can just multiply two probability values to come up with a final answer.  That is, (1/6)·(1/2) = 1/12.

Note that I did not write this. This answer comes from Wyzant. I am only linking this to you so that you'll get the answer quickly.
