Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 2x + 1 = 17

x^2 + 2x = 17 - 1

x^2 + 2x = 16

x^2 + 2x + 1 = 16 + 1

(x + 1)(x + 1) = 17

(x + 1)^2 = 17

x + 1 = sqrt 17

x = -1 (+ - ) sqrt 17

x = -1 + sqrt 17 or x = -1 - sqrt 17 <===

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+8x=38\\\\x^2+8x-38=0\\\\\Delta=8^2+4*38=216=6^3\\\\x=\dfrac{-8-6\sqrt{6} }{2} \ or\ x=\dfrac{-8+6\sqrt{6} }{2}\\\\x=-4-3\sqrt{6} \ or\ x=-4+3\sqrt{6}\\\\a=-4\\b=3\\c=6\\$

Suppose a box contains 3 defective light bulbs and 12 good bulbs. two bulbs are chosen from the box without replacement. find th

Mademuasel [1]

The probability that the bulb is good is 12/15.
Since we have taken 1 item out the remaining total is now 14, so the probability of getting a defective bulb is now 3/14.
Now you multiply the probabilities together to get (12/15)(3/14)=(4/5)(3/14)=12/70=6/35

What is the equation for the line of reflection? On a coordinate plane, triangle A B C has points (6, 3.7), (5.4, 2), (1, 3). Tr

elixir [45]

Answer:

The equation for the line of reflection will be x = y.

Step-by-step explanation:

On a coordinate plane, triangle Δ ABC has points (6, 3.7), (5.4, 2), (1, 3). Triangle Δ A'B'C' has points (3.7, 6), (2, 5.4), (3, 1).

And we have to find the equation of the line of reflection of the points.

Now, it is clear from the coordinates of vertices of Δ ABC and Δ A'B'C' that after reflection the x and y-values of the respective coordinates interchange and there is no change in signs.

Therefore, the equation for the line of reflection will be x = y. (Answer)
