Answer:

(7 x - 1) (x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

7 x^2 + 6 x - 1

Factor the quadratic 7 x^2 + 6 x - 1. The coefficient of x^2 is 7 and the constant term is -1. The product of 7 and -1 is -7. The factors of -7 which sum to 6 are -1 and 7. So 7 x^2 + 6 x - 1 = 7 x^2 + 7 x - x - 1 = (7 x - 1) + x (7 x - 1):

(7 x - 1) + x (7 x - 1)

Factor 7 x - 1 from (7 x - 1) + x (7 x - 1):

Answer: (7 x - 1) (x + 1)

How do you use special right triangles to solve for missing sides? (30-60-90 and 45-45-90 triangles)

Assoli18 [71]

Answer: see below

Step-by-step explanation:

30 - 60 - 90 triangles have angles in the triangle measuring 30, 60, and 90 degrees. A 30 - 60 - 90 triangle also has special side ratios according to a side's location in the triangle.

The side across from the 30 degree angle is represented by x.

The side across from the 60 degree angle is represented by x $\sqrt{3}$ .

The side across from the 90 degree angle is represented by 2x.

45 - 45 - 90 triangles have angles in the triangle measuring 45, 45, and 90 degrees. A 45 - 45 - 90 triangle has special side ratios similar to the 30 - 60 - 90 triangle.

The side across from either of the 45 degree angles is represented by x.

The side across from the 90 degree angle is represented by x $\sqrt{2}$ .

These ratios can be used to find missing sides. If you know that a triangle is one of these special triangles and you also know one of its side lengths, you can plug the known length in for x in the proper place.

EX: you have a 30 - 60 - 90 triangle with a side length of 2 across from the 30 degree angle. You then know that the side across from 60 is 2 $\sqrt{3}$ and the side across from 90 is 4.

Simplify the given expression below:

ira [324]

The answer is A. -2+5i.

First you set up the problem like this: (6+2i)-(8-3i)
Then you distribute the (-) into the second parenthesis. After doing that you should have something that looks like this: 6+2i-8+3i
Then you add like terms.

At Sally's Hair Salon there are three hair stylists. 36% of the hair cuts are done by Chris, 26% are done by Karine, and the res

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Probability that their hair was done by Amy is 0.475.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Sally's Hair Salon there are three hair stylists. 36% of the hair cuts are done by Chris, 26% are done by Karine, and the rest are done by Amy.

Let the Probability of hair cutting done by Chris = P(C) = 0.36

Probability of hair cutting done by Karine = P(K) = 0.26

Probability of hair cutting done by Amy = P(A) = 0.368

Also, let NS = event that customer is not satisfied with his cutting

So, Probability that customers are not satisfied given that their hair cutting is done by Chris = P(NS/C) = 0.05

Probability that customers are not satisfied given that their hair cutting is done by Karine = P(NS/K) = 0.06

Probability that customers are not satisfied given that their hair cutting is done by Amy = P(NS/A) = 0.08

Now, a customer leaving the salon is selected at random. If the customer is not satisfied, the probability that their hair was done by Amy is given by = P(A/NS)

For finding the above probability we will use the concept of Bayes' Theorem;

SO, P(A/NS) = $\frac{\text{P(A) \times P(NS/A)}}{\text{P(C) \times P(NS/C) + P(K) \times P(NS/K) +P(A) \times P(NS/A) }}$ $\frac{P(A) \times P(NS/A) }{P(C) \times P(NS/C) +P(K) \times P(NS/K) +P(A) \times P(NS/A) }$

= $\frac{0.38 \times 0.08}{0.36 \times 0.05+0.26 \times 0.06+0.38 \times 0.08}$

= $\frac{0.0304}{0.064}$

= <u>0.475</u>

<em>Hence, the probability that their hair was done by Amy is 0.475.</em>
