Peter is giving marbles to some children at a carnival. He has 5 red marbles, 4 blue marbles, and 3 yellow marbles. If Peter sel

ects a marble randomly without looking, what is the probability that he will give a blue marble to the first child and then a yellow marble to the second child?

5x minus 4 equals x squared minus 4x plus 4. What is x
Sauron [17]

Two solutions were found :

x =(4-√-64)/-10=2/-5+4i/5= -0.4000-0.8000i

x =(4+√-64)/-10=2/-5-4i/5= -0.4000+0.8000i

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 ((0 -  5x2) -  4x) -  4  = 0

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1     Pull out like factors :

  -5x2 - 4x - 4  =   -1 • (5x2 + 4x + 4)

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

3.2     Factoring  5x2 + 4x + 4

The first term is,  5x2  its coefficient is  5 .

The middle term is,  +4x  its coefficient is  4 .

The last term, "the constant", is  +4

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   5 • 4 = 20

Step-2 : Find two factors of  20  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   4 .

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 -5x2 - 4x - 4  = 0

Step  4  :

Parabola, Finding the Vertex :

4.1      Find the Vertex of   y = -5x2-4x-4

For any parabola,Ax2+Bx+C,the  x -coordinate of the vertex is given by  -B/(2A) . In our case the  x  coordinate is  -0.4000  

Plugging into the parabola formula  -0.4000  for  x  we can calculate the  y -coordinate :

 y = -5.0 * -0.40 * -0.40 - 4.0 * -0.40 - 4.0

or   y = -3.200

Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :

Root plot for :  y = -5x2-4x-4

Axis of Symmetry (dashed)  {x}={-0.40}

Vertex at  {x,y} = {-0.40,-3.20}

Function has no real roots

Solve Quadratic Equation by Completing The Square

4.2     Solving   -5x2-4x-4 = 0 by Completing The Square .

Multiply both sides of the equation by  (-1)  to obtain positive coefficient for the first term:

5x2+4x+4 = 0  Divide both sides of the equation by  5  to have 1 as the coefficient of the first term :

  x2+(4/5)x+(4/5) = 0

Subtract  4/5  from both side of the equation :

  x2+(4/5)x = -4/5

Add  4/25  to both sides of the equation :

 On the right hand side we have :

  -4/5  +  4/25   The common denominator of the two fractions is  25   Adding  (-20/25)+(4/25)  gives  -16/25

 So adding to both sides we finally get :

  x2+(4/5)x+(4/25) = -16/25

Adding  4/25  has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :

  x2+(4/5)x+(4/25)  =

  (x+(2/5)) • (x+(2/5))  =

 (x+(2/5))2

Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. Since

  x2+(4/5)x+(4/25) = -16/25 and

  x2+(4/5)x+(4/25) = (x+(2/5))2

then, according to the law of transitivity,

  (x+(2/5))2 = -16/25

Note that the square root of

  (x+(2/5))2   is

  (x+(2/5))2/2 =

 (x+(2/5))1 =

  x+(2/5)

Now, applying the Square Root Principle to  Eq. #4.2.1  we get:

  x+(2/5) = √ -16/25

Subtract  2/5  from both sides to obtain:

  x = -2/5 + √ -16/25

Since a square root has two values, one positive and the other negative

  x2 + (4/5)x + (4/5) = 0

  has two solutions:

 x = -2/5 + √ 16/25 •  i

  or

 x = -2/5 - √ 16/25 •  i

Note that  √ 16/25 can be written as

 √ 16  / √ 25   which is 4 / 5

Solve Quadratic Equation using the Quadratic Formula

4.3     Solving    -5x2-4x-4 = 0 by the Quadratic Formula .

According to the Quadratic Formula,  x  , the solution for   Ax2+Bx+C  = 0  , where  A, B  and  C  are numbers, often called coefficients, is given by :

                                   

           - B  ±  √ B2-4AC

 x =   ————————

                     2A

 In our case,  A   =     -5

                     B   =    -4

                     C   =   -4

Accordingly,  B2  -  4AC   =

                    16 - 80 =

                    -64

Applying the quadratic formula :

              4 ± √ -64

  x  =    —————

                   -10

In the set of real numbers, negative numbers do not have square roots. A new set of numbers, called complex, was invented so that negative numbers would have a square root. These numbers are written  (a+b*i)

Both   i   and   -i   are the square roots of minus 1

Accordingly,√ -64  =

                   √ 64 • (-1)  =

                   √ 64  • √ -1   =

                   ±  √ 64  • i

Can  √ 64 be simplified ?

Yes!   The prime factorization of  64   is

  2•2•2•2•2•2

To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be  2  instances of it (because we are taking a square i.e. second root).

√ 64   =  √ 2•2•2•2•2•2   =2•2•2•√ 1   =

               ±  8 • √ 1   =

               ±  8

So now we are looking at:

          x  =  ( 4 ± 8i ) / -10

Two imaginary solutions :

x =(4+√-64)/-10=2/-5-4i/5= -0.4000+0.8000i

 or:

x =(4-√-64)/-10=2/-5+4i/5= -0.4000-0.8000i

Two solutions were found :

x =(4-√-64)/-10=2/-5+4i/5= -0.4000-0.8000i

x =(4+√-64)/-10=2/-5-4i/5= -0.4000+0.8000i

Explain the steps for dividing decimals. Write three or four sentences.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the decimal point in the divisor and dividend.

Turn the divisor (the number you’re dividing by) into a whole number by moving the decimal point all the way to the right. At the same time, move the decimal point in the dividend (the number you’re dividing) the same number of places to the right.

Place a decimal point in the quotient (the answer) directly above where the decimal point now appears in the dividend.

Divide as usual, being careful to line up the quotient properly so that the decimal point falls into place.

Line up each digit in the quotient just over the last digit in the dividend used in that cycle.

Is a triangle with sides of length 6ft, 21 ft, 23 ft. A right triangle?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the Pythagoras theorem, it can be easily determined that whether the triangle is right triangle or not.

Thus, a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2} where where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

Let a=6ft, b=21ft and c=23ft, then

a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}

(6)^{2}+(21)^{2}=(23)^{2}

36+441=(23)^{2}

477=529

which is not possible, therefore the given triangle is not right triangle because it does not satisfy the Pythagoras theorem.

Can someone write an equation out of X= -4 Y= -8 Z= 3
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

2y + 4z = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x = -4

y = -8

z = 3

Required

Write an equation that which is true for the above parameters

<em>This question will be answered using trial by error method and the solution is not limited to one equation.</em>

<em></em>

One equation that matches the values above is:.

2y + 4z = x

To check:

Substitute the values of x, y and z in the above equation.

2y + 4z = x

2 * -8 + 4 * 3 = -4

-16 + 12 = -4

-4 = -4

Hence,

Because both sides of the equation are one and the same (-4), 2y + 4z = x is true for the above values of x, y and z.
