<em>Step #1: </em>
Make sure the equation is in the form of [ Ax² + Bx + C = 0 ].

Yours is already in that form.
A = 1
B = 2
C = -2

<em>Step #2:</em>
The 'discriminant' for that equation is [ B² - 4 A C ].
That's all there is to it, but it can tell you a lot about the roots of the equation.

-- If the discriminant is zero, then the left  side of the equation is a perfect square,
and both roots are equal. 

-- If the discriminant is greater than zero, the the roots are real and not equal.

-- If the discriminant is less than zero, then the roots are complex numbers.

The discriminant of your equation is  [ B² - 4 A C ] = 2² - 4(1)(-2) = 4 + 8 = 12

Your equation has two real, unequal roots.

BThe wooden treehouse has horizontal siding that is parallel to the base. What are the LM and MN to the nearest hundredth?
xeze [42]

Answer:

LM =  2.82 ft

MN =  2.39 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We suppose ΔGNF is isosceles and GF bisect ∠NGF, so that GK ⊥ NF

LH // MJ // NK

GL / GH = LM / HJ = MN / JK

11.3 / 10.4 = LM / 2.6 = MN / 2.2

LM = 11.3 / 10.4 x 2.6 = 2.82

MN = 11.3 / 10.4 x 2.2 = 2.39

Industrial chemicals are stored in 55-gallon drums. The radius of the drum is 12 inches, and the height is 32 inches. Determine
KIM [24]

Answer:

The surface area is 3317.52 inch^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The drum is in the shape of a cylinder, therefore..

Area of the drum

=2πrh+2πr^2

=2*π*12*32+2·π*12^2

= 3317.52 inch^2

Sixty dash fivesixty-five percent of households say they would feel secure if they had? $50,000 in savings. you randomly select
Effectus [21]

 To solve the following problems, we use the binomial probability equation:

P (r) = [n!/(n-r)! r!] p^r q^(n-r)

where,

n = total number of households = 8

r = number of sample

p = probability of success = 65% = 0.65

q = probability of failure = 0.35

 

A. r = 5

P (r=5) = [8! / 3! 5!] 0.65^5 0.35^3

P (r=5) = 0.28

 

B. r >5

P (r=6) = [8! / 2! 6!] 0.65^6 0.35^2

P (r=6) = 0.26

P (r=7) = [8! / 1! 7!] 0.65^7 0.35^1

P (r=7) = 0.14

P (r=8) = [8! / 0! 8!] 0.65^8 0.35^0

P (r=8) = 0.03

Therefore total is:

P (r>5) = 0.26 + 0.14 + 0.03 = 0.43

 

C. r ≤ 5

P (r ≤ 5) = 1 - P (r>5)

P (r ≤ 5) = 1 – 0.43

P (r ≤ 5) = 0.57
