Factorise and solve : x^3-x^2-4x+4

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alika [10]3 years ago

(x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2)

note that the sum of the coefficients 1 - 1 - 4 + 4 = 0

thus x = 1 is a root and (x - 1 ) is a factor

dividing x³ - x² - 4x + 4 by (x - 1)

x³ - x² - 4x + 4 = (x - 1)(x² - 4 ) (note (x² - 4 ) is a difference of squares )

x³ - x² - 4x + 4 = (x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2)

(x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2 ) =0

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

solutions are x = 1 or x = ± 2

A basket contains 14 white eggs, 15 brown eggs, and 11 lemons. Taylor is in a hurry to make breakfast and picks something from t
guajiro [1.7K]
Okay so probability is just percentage of a whole, right?

So you have 14 White Eggs + 15 Brown Eggs + 11 Lemons.

Add all those numbers together and you get your whole.

14 + 15 = 29    29+11 = 40

40 is your whole. 

So because you want to know how likely it is to pick up an egg, you would follow these steps.

100/40 = 2.5 (For each part of the 40, it is worth 2.5 percent.)

2.5 x 29 = 72.5

Your probability of picking an egg out of the bask is 72.5 percent or 72.5 out of 100.
