To determine x intercept, put y=0

<span>x^4 - 10x^2 + 9 = 0
</span>
<span>x^4 - 9x^2 - x^2 + 9 = 0

x^2(x^2 - 9) - 1(</span><span>x^2 - 9) = 0

(</span><span>x^2 - 9)(x^2-1) =0

x^2 - 9 = 0
⇒ x^2 = 9
⇒x = +3, -3

x^2 - 1 = 0
x^2 = 1
x = +1, -1

X intercepts are -3, -1, 1, 3

Answer:

The probability that you get zero questions correct is 0.4096

The probability that you get one questions correct is 0.4096

The probability that you get three questions correct is 0.0256

Step-by-step explanation:

These probability can be describe with a Binomial Distribution. These distribution can be used when we have n identical and independent situations in which there is a probability p or probability of success and a probability q or probability of fail. Additionally q is equal to 1 - p. The probability of x for a situation in which we can apply binomial distribution is:

$P( x,n,p) = n Cx * p^{x } * q^ {n-x}$

Where x is the variable that says the number of success in the n situations

And nCx is calculate as:

$nC x = \frac{ n!}{ x! (n-x)! }$

From the question we can identify that:

n is equal to 4 multiple choice question
p is 1/5 or 0.2, the probability of get one question correct
q is 4/5 or 0.8, the probability of get one question incorrect

Then the probability of get zero questions correct of 4 questions is:

$P( 0, 4, 0.2) = 4 C0 * p^{0 } * q^ {4-0}= 0.4096$

The probability of get one question correct of 4 questions is:

$P( 1, 4, 0.2) = 4 C1 * p^{1 } * q^ {4-1}= 0.4096$

The probability of get three questions correct of 4 questions is:

$P( 3, 4, 0.2) = 4 C3 * p^{3 } * q^ {4-3}= 0.0256$

Geometry- I need an answer for x and y.

elixir [45]

Answer:

x = 13sqrt(3) ft = 22.5 ft

y = 13 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is a 30-60-90 right triangle.

The ratio of the lengths of the sides is

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse = 1 : sqrt(3) : 2

From the ratio above we see that the hypotenuse is twice the short leg.

The long leg is sqrt(3) times the short leg.

y = short leg

x = long leg

26 ft = hypotenuse

y = 26 ft/2 = 13 ft

x = 13 ft * sqrt(3) = 13sqrt(3) ft = 22.5 ft
