Answer:

x equals plus or minus square root of 5 minus 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x^{2} +2x=4

Divide by 2 the coefficient of the x-term

2/2=1

squared the number

1^2=1

Adds both sides

x^{2} +2x+1=4+1

x^{2} +2x+1=5

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x+1)^{2}=5

take the square root both sides

x+1=(+/-)\sqrt{5}

x=(+/-)\sqrt{5}-1

therefore

x equals plus or minus square root of 5 minus 1

This is just another way of asking "what is the volume of a sphere of 6cm"
The volume of a sphere is V= \frac{3}{4} \pi  R^{3}
The R is 3cm in this problem since the diameter is twice the radius. For a 3cm radius sphere this is 113.1cm^3

If you flip a coin and roll a 6-sided die, what is the probability that you will flip a tails and roll at least a 2?
Finger [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

Flipping a tails and rolling at least a tail are 2 independent events: they don't affect each other. So, to get the probability of both happening, we just need to multiply the probability of one by the probability of the other. he probability of rolling at least a 2 is 5/6.
