4(x² - 2) = 28

1. Distribute the 4
4x² - 8 = -28

2. Plug in 3 and -3
4(3)² - 8 = 28
4(-3)² - 8 = 28

3. Square 3 and -3
4(9) - 8 = 28
4(9) - 8 = 28

28 = 28

The reason both answers are the same is because whenever you put a negative number to an even power, the result becomes positive because any negative multiplied by a negative number is always positive.
28 = 28

Michelle is rolling two six-sided dice, numbered one through six. What is the probability that the sum of her rolls is 8?

Verdich [7]

The probability that the sum of Michelle's rolls is 4 is 0.083
∴ P(A)=0.083
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Michelle is rolling two six-sided dice, numbered one through six.
To find the probability that the sum of her rolls is 4:

∴ n(s)=36
Let P(A) be the probability that the sum of her rolls is 4
Then the possible rolls with sums of 4 can be written as

n(A)=3
The probability that the sum of her rolls is 4 is given by

=0.083
∴ P(A)=0.083
∴ the probability that the sum of Michelle's rolls is 4 is 0.083

Based on the diagram shown, all of the following are true statements except

ira [324]

You are correct. The answer is choice C.

The other choices A, B, D have each side add up to 180 degrees either because the angles are a linear pair (adjacent and supplementary) or because the angles are same side interior angles. Same side interior angles are supplementary if a transversal line cuts through a pair of parallel lines as so happens in this diagram.

O DATA ANALYSIS AND STATISTICS Outcomes and event probability A number cube is rolled three times. An outcome is represented by

Simora [160]

ANSWER

EXPLANATION

For each of the three events, there are 8 possible outcomes, so the probability of each event is,

$P(event)=\frac{favorable\text{ }outcomes}{possible\text{ }outcomes}=\frac{favorable\text{ }outcomes}{8}$

• Event A:, there must be only odd numbers in the last two rolls, which are either ,EOO or OOO,. This event has 2 favorable outcomes, ,so its probability is 1/4,.

• Event B,: this is the complementary event to event A. Here the last two rolls must be even numbers - both or only one of the last two: ,OOE, EEO, EOE, OEE, EEE, OEO,. This event has 6 favorable outcomes, so ,its probability is 3/4,.

• Event C,: this event is when the first and last rolls are even numbers in the same event. This is either ,EOE or EEE,. Since this event has 2 favorable outcomes, ,its probability is 1/4,.
