Answer:

the solutions are:

x_{1}=-2+\sqrt{26}

x_{2}=-2-\sqrt{26}

and the sum of solutions is:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

the expression is:

3x(x+4)=66\\

doing the multiplication

3x^2+12x=66\\\\3x^2+12x-66=0

dividing everything by 3:

x^2+4x-22=0

we use the quadratic formula to find the solutions:

in this case since we have an equation in the form

ax^2+bx+c=0

where

a=1\\b=4\\c=-22

the quadratic formula is:

x=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\\\x=\frac{-4+-\sqrt{4^2-4*1*(-22))=} }{2}\\ x=\frac{-4+-\sqrt{16+88} }{2} \\ x=\frac{-4+-\sqrt{104} }{2} \\\\ x=\frac{-4+-2\sqrt{26} }{2} \\\\\\x=-4+-\sqrt{26}

from this, using the + sign we find the first solution:

x_{1}=-2+\sqrt{26}

and the second solution:

x_{2}=-2-\sqrt{26}

the sum of the solutions is:

x_{1}+x_{2}=-2+\sqrt{26}-2-\sqrt{26}\\  x_{1}+x_{2}=-4

The Law of Large Numbers states that as the number of trials of an experiment increases, the experimental probability of an even
Lena [83]

The law of large number states that , if number of trials increases in an experiment , in a fair trial where each outcome has same chance of occurring or having equal probabilities,when total number of trials  goes higher and higher the probabilities of each single outcome becomes approximately equal.→→In case of Experimental Probability

The Coin Possessed by Jake is a Magic coin.

Now Outcomes received by jake when he tosses the coin certain number of times.He flipped it 100 times, and found that it came up heads 64% of the time. He flipped it another 500 times, and it came up heads 57% of the time. He then flipped it 1000 times, and it came up heads 58% of the time. Then, he flipped it 1500 times, and it came up heads 62% of the time.

Based on the information provided , it appears that coin is not fair . It is  Unbiased.So , if we apply law of large numbers here after number of trials will go higher and higher , the chances of coming head will be more than tail i.e theoretical probability of the magic coin coming up heads is> 50%.

To test my hypothesis i have used the information provided by Jake, which shows that coin is not fair. The probability of head has more than tail i.e by 14%, 7%,8% and 12%.

M is between L and N. LM = 7x-1, MN = 2x +4, and LN = 12. find the value of ‘x’ an determine if M is a bisector.
Sholpan [36]

LM + MN = LN

7x - 1 + 2x + 4 = 12

9x + 3 = 12

9x = 12 - 3

9x = 9

x = 9/9

x = 1

What is ∑n=15[5(−2)n−1] equal to?
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Although the notation is sloppy, I will assume based on former questions of the same that "∑n=15[5(−2)^n−1]" translates mathematically to . Please correct me, though, if this in incorrect.

Anyway, there is neat formula that will deal with question very quickly. It is the following:

Sn is the sum of the geometric series

a1 is the first term in the series

r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms in the finite geometric series

Let's use this formula to our advantage! However, there are two variables that we do not know: a1 and n. Let's start with a1.The first term in the series is when n=1, so let's determine what that is.
