The probabilities of all possible outcomes in a distribution must sum to 1.

\dfrac5{12}+\dfrac16+\dfrac13+x=1\implies x=\dfrac1{12}

Answer:

1/12 C

Step-by-step explanation:

5/12

1/6=2/12

1/3=4/12

5/12-3=2/12

2/12+2=4/12

4/12-3= 1/12

<span>The <u>correct answers</u> are:

x=-3 and x=-8.

Explanation<span>:

We can first write this in standard form, ax</span></span>²<span><span>+bx+c=0. To do this, we will add 11x to both sides:
x</span></span>²<span><span>+24+11x=-11x+11x
x</span></span>²<span><span>+11x+24=0.

Now we can factor this. Look for factors of c, 24, that sum to b, 11. Factors of 24 are:
1 and 24 (sum 25)
2 and 12 (sum 14)
3 and 8 (sum 11)
4 and 6 (sum 10).

The factors we need are 3 and 8, since they sum to 11. This gives us factored form:
(x+3)(x+8)=0.

Using the zero product property, we know that in order to have a product of 0, one or both of the factors must be 0. This means we have:
x+3=0 or x+8=0.

Solving the first equation:
x+3-3=0-3
x=-3.

Solving the second equation:
x+8-8=0-8
x=-8.</span></span>

A dolphin jumps from the water at an initial velocity of 16 feet per second. The equation h + -16t^2 + 80t models the dolphin's
Dominik [7]

Answer:

100feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height reached by a dolphin expressed by the equation is h = -16t^2 + 80t. At maximum height, the velocity is zero, hence;

v(t) = dh/dt = -32t + 80

0 = -32t + 80

32t = 80

t = 80/32

t = 2.5secs

Substitute t = 2.5 into the height formula h = -16t^2 + 80t

h = -16(2.5)^2 + 80(2.5)

h = -100+200

h = 100feet

Hence  the maximum height the dolphin jumps is 100feet
