Please, use " ^ " to denote exponentiation: x^2 + 4x - 21 = 0

Factor: (x+7)(x-3)=0

Solve for the 2 roots: x= -7 and x= 3: {3, -7} Note how this is in set notation.

Answer: the correct option is

(C) 3, -7.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following equation for x :

$x^2+4x-21=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~```(i)$

We will be solving the given quadratic equation by factorization.

The solution of equation (i) is as follows :

$x^2+4x-21=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2+7x-3x-21=0\\\\\Rightarrow x(x+7)-3(x+7)=0\\\\\Rightarrow (x-3)(x+7)=0\\\\\Rightarrow x-3=0,~~~x+7=0\\\\\Rightarrow x=3,~-7.$

Thus, the required values of x are

x = 3, -7.

Option (C) is CORRECT.

What is the difference between DEPENDENT and INDEPENDENT probability?

ira [324]

Answer:

an independant variable dosent depend on any thing and a dependant variable depends on

if you rode a paddle boat for 30 min it cost 10 dollars

the 30 min is the independant variable and the 10 dollars is the dependant variable bc if u wanted to ride for longer than 30min you will have to pay more money therefore the cost depends on the time and time is independent bc the dosent depend on anything

What is the Median for the following set of numbers? â€‹21 23 76 47 55 135 45 30 17

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Median = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

21, 23, 76, 47, 55, 135, 45, 30, 17

Median is the number that divides the data into two equal parts.

Formula:

$Median:\\\text{If n is odd, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{n+1}{2}th ~term \\\\\text{If n is even, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{\frac{n}{2}th~term + (\frac{n}{2}+1)th~term}{2}$

Sorted data:

17, 21, 23, 30, 45, 47, 55, 76, 135

Sample size = 9, which is odd

Median =

$\dfrac{9+1}{2}^{th}\text{ term} = \dfrac{10}{2}^{th}\text{ term} = 5^{th}\text{ term}\\\\= 45$

The median of given set of numbers is 45.

What is the length of RS.

Natali [406]

Consider, in ΔRPQ,

RP = R (Radius of larger circle)

PQ = r (radius of smaller circle)

We have to find, RQ, by Pythagoras theorem,

RP² = PQ²+RQ²

R² = r²+RQ²

RQ² = R²-r²

RQ = √(R²-r²

Now, as RQ & QS both are tangents of the smaller circle, their lengths must be equal. so, RS = 2 × RQ

RS = 2√(R²-r²)
