Answer:

so x+1/x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

x=2+√3

for 1/x we take reciprocal of x

1/x=1/2+√3

first we will rationalize 1/x

multiplying and dividing by 2-√3

1/x=1/2+√3  × 2-√3/2-√3

1/x=2-√3/(2+√3)(2-√3)

as we know that (a-b)(a+b)=a²+b²

1/x=2-√3/(2)²-(√3)²

1/x=2-√3/4-3

1/x=2-√3

now x+1/x

x+1/x=2+√3+2-√3

2+2+√3-√3

x+1/x=4

i hope it will help you

The manufacturer of a fertilizer guarantees that, with the aid of the fertilizer, 80% of planted seeds will germinate. Suppose t

The Probability of that more than 7 of them germinate is 0.2948.

<h3>What is Probability?</h3><h3>Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1.</h3>

We are to determine the probability that more than 7 of 10 seeds (i.e. 8, 0r 9 0r 10) germinate.

The probability that all 10 seeds germinate is equal 0.80¹⁰= 0.1073 = 10.73%.

The probability that only the first (only the second, etc ) seed does not germinate is equal 0.20 X 0.80⁹= 0.0268 = 2.68%.

The probability that 6 seeds germinate is the sum of the probabilities that only the first seed does not germinate, only the second one does not germinate, etc, and equals to 10 X 0.0268  = 0.268 = 26.8%.

The total probability that more than 7 of 10 seeds germinate is the sum of the probabilities that 10 seeds germinate and that 7 seeds germinate, i.e. 2.68 % + 26.8 % = 29.48 %.

Thus, The Probability of that more than 7 of them germinate is 0.2948.
