Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 
Subbing in:

a = 9, b = -2, c = -7
The product of a and c is the aboslute value of -63, so a*c = 63. We need 2 factors of 63 that will add to give us -2. The factors of 63 are {1, 63}, (3, 21}, {7, 9}. It looks like the combination of -9 and +7 will work because -9 + 7 = -2. Plug in accordingly:

Group together in groups of 2:

Now factor out what's common within each set of parenthesis:

We know this combination "works" because the terms inside the parenthesis are identical. We can now factor those out and what's left goes together in another set of parenthesis:

Remember that 
so we sub back in and continue to factor. This was originally a fourth degree polynomial; that means we have 4 solutions.

The first two solutions are found withing the first set of parenthesis and the second two are found in other set of parenthesis. Factoring
gives us that x = 1 and -1. The other set is a bit more tricky. If
then
and

You cannot take the square root of a negative number without allowing for the imaginary component, i, so we do that:
±
which will simplify down to
±
Those are the 4 solutions to the quartic equation.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
28 students all give $128
so,
= v v=6
Each student gave 6 dollars. This is true due to the fact that
=6
28X6=128
Steps:
(x-2)=4x
Pretend that there is a one in front of x-2
1(x-2)=4x
Multiply the bracket by 1
x-2=4x
Move x to the other side .Whenever you move a number or letter the sign changes.
x-x-2=4x-x
-2=3x
Divide by 3 for -2 and 3
-2/3=3/3 x
x=-2/3
Check answer by using substitution method
(-2/3-2)=4(-2/3)
(-2/3-6/3)=-8/3
-8/3=-8/3
Answer is -2/3
Answer:
1 / 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of options = 4
Number of correct answers = 1
Number points gained for a correct answer = 1
Number of points lost for an incorrect answer = 1/4 = 0.25
Probability of choosing a correct option = 1/4
Probability of choosing an incorrect option = 3/4
x ____ 1 ______ - 1/4
P(x) __ 1/4 ______ 3/4
Expected gain or loss :
E(x) = Σx*p(x)
E(x) = (1 * 1/4) + (-1/4 * 3/4)
E(x) = 1/4 - 3/16
E(x) = (4 - 3) / 16
E(x) = 1 /16
A gain of 1/16
