Answer:

The solution set is {-12,2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given a quadratic equation.

x² + 10x = 24

We have to find the solution of above equation by completing square.

Adding (5)² to both sides of above equation, we have

x²+10+(5)² = 24+ (5)²

(x+5)² = 24+25

(x+5)² = 49

Taking square root to both sides of above equation, we have

x+5 = ±7

x+5 = 7 or x+5 = -7

x = 7-5 or x = -7-5

x = 2 or x = -12

Hence, the solution set is {-12,2}.

Mean = (14 + 14.5 + 12 + 11.5 + 15 + 13 + 10.5 + 13.5)/8

Mean = (104)/8

Mean = 13

Use the Counting Principle to find the probability. Choosing the 7 winning lottery numbers when the numbers are chosen at random

frozen [14]

Answer: 120

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Since the order of the numbers doesn't matter we can use the formula:

$\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}\quad \text{where n is the quantity of items and r is the quantity chosen}\\\\\text{In this problem, there are 10 numbers (n = 10) and 7 to be chosen (r = 7)}\\\\_{10}C_{7}=\dfrac{10!}{7!(10-7)!}\\\\.\qquad=\dfrac{10!}{7!3!}\\\\.\qquad=\dfrac{10\times 9\times 8\times 7!}{7!\times 3\times 2\times 1}\\\\.\qquad=10\times 3\times 4\\\\.\qquad=120$
