Answer:

From least to greatest: -2, 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Set each factor equal to 0 and solve

2x + 4 =0

2x = -4

x = -2

3x - 2 = 0

3x = 2

x = 2/3

The solutions are -2 and 2/3

Urgent. There are 12 coloured counters in a bag. The counters are black, white or grey A counter is chosen at random. The probab

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Needed information

$\sf Probability\:of\:an\:event\:occurring = \dfrac{Number\:of\:ways\:it\:can\:occur}{Total\:number\:of\:possible\:outcomes}$

The sum of the probabilities of all outcomes must equal 1

Solution

We are told that the probability that the counter is not black is 3/4.

As the sum of the probabilities of all outcomes must equal 1, we can work out the probability that the counter is black by subtracting 3/4 from 1:

$\sf P(counter\:not\:black)=\dfrac34$

$\implies \sf P(counter\:black)=1-\dfrac34=\dfrac14$

We are told that the probability that the counter is not white is 2/3.

As the sum of the probabilities of all outcomes must equal 1, we can work out the probability that the counter is white by subtracting 2/3 from 1:

$\sf P(counter\:not\:white)=\dfrac23$

$\implies \sf P(counter\:white)=1-\dfrac23=\dfrac13$

We are told that there are black, white and grey counters in the bag. We also know that the sum of the probabilities of all outcomes must equal 1. Therefore, we can work out the probability the counter is grey by subtracting the probability the counter is black and the probability the counter is white from 1:

$\begin{aligned}\sf P(counter\:grey) & = \sf1-P(counter\:black)-P(counter\:white)\\\\ & =\sf 1-\dfrac14-\dfrac13\\\\ & = \sf \dfrac{12}{12}-\dfrac{3}{12}-\dfrac{4}{12}\\\\ & = \sf \dfrac{12-3-4}{12}\\\\ & = \sf \dfrac{5}{12}\end{aligned}$

Pls plsss help with math, it’s easyyy!! explanation needed!!

zimovet [89]

Answer:

C. x = -12 and x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-x²-10x+24=0 Original equation

x²+10x-24=0 Divide everything by -1

(x+12)(x-2)=0 Factor it out

x=-12,2 Solve so that the inside of the parentheses equals 0

Evaluate Dx / ^ 9-8x - x2^

Solnce55 [7]

It depends on what you mean by the delimiting carats "^"...

Since you use parentheses appropriately in the answer choices, I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume something like "^x^" stands for $\sqrt x$ .

In that case, you want to find the antiderivative,

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dx}{\sqrt{9-8x-x^2}}$

Complete the square in the denominator:

$9-8x-x^2=25-(16+8x+x^2)=5^2-(x+4)^2$

Now substitute $x+4=5\sin y$ , so that $\mathrm dx=5\cos y\,\mathrm dy$ . Then

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dx}{\sqrt{9-8x-x^2}}=\int\frac{5\cos y}{\sqrt{5^2-(5\sin y)^2}}\,\mathrm dy$

which simplifies to

$\displaystyle\int\frac{5\cos 
y}{5\sqrt{1-\sin^2y}}\,\mathrm dy=\int\frac{\cos y}{\sqrt{\cos^2y}}\,\mathrm dy$

Now, recall that $\sqrt{x^2}=|x|$ . But we want the substitution we made to be reversible, so that

$x+4=5\sin y\iff y=\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x+4}5\right)$

which implies that $-\dfrac\pi2\le y\le\dfrac\pi2$ . (This is the range of the inverse sine function.)

Under these conditions, we have $\cos y\ge0$ , which lets us reduce $\sqrt{\cos^2y}=|\cos y|=\cos y$ . Finally,

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\cos y}{\cos y}\,\mathrm dy=\int\mathrm dy=y+C$

and back-substituting to get this in terms of $x$ yields

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dx}{\sqrt{9-8x-x^2}}=\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x+4}5\right)+C$
