Answer:

x = -3 and x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x² − 2x − 3 = 12

x² − 2x − 3  - 12 = 0

x² − 2x − 15 = 0

Product = -15

sum = -2

Factors  are: 3, -5

So the equation becomes;

x² − 2x − 15 = 0

x² + 3x - 5x − 15 = 0

(x² + 3x) - (5x + 15) = 0

x(x + 3) - 5(x + 3) = 0

(x + 3)(x - 5) = 0

∴ (x + 3) = 0

    x = -3  

          or

   (x - 5) = 0

    x = 5

Answer:

x_1=5\\x_2=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the following quadratic equation given in the problem:

x^{2}-2x-3=12

You must make the equation equal to zero, as following:

x^{2}-2x-3-12=0

Add like terms:

 x^{2}-2x-15=0

Now, to factor the equation, you must find two numbers whose sum is -2 and whose product is -15. Therefore, you have:

(x-5)(x+3)=0\\x_1=5\\x_2=-3

= 4.32 × 10^4

(scientific notation)

= 4.32e4

(scientific e notation)

= 43.2 × 10^3

(engineering notation)

(thousand; prefix kilo- (k))

In scientific notation, a large number is converted to an equivalent decimal number between 1 and 10, multiplied by 10 raised to some power. Very small numbers are converted to an equivalent decimal number between 1 and 10, multiplied by 10 raised to some negative power.

The pregnancy length in days for a population of new mothers can be approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of 269 day
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

a) 279 b)254

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = 269 days

standard deviation = 8 days

let n be the pregnancy lenght.  

using normal distribution formula

z = (n – mean)/ standard deviation

n = z * standard deviation + mean

Now, z values for the top 12% has to be found using a z table.

The top 12% means 88% of area under the curve. In this case z = 1,176

n = 1,176 * 8 + 269

n = 278.4 = 279

The bottom 3% means 97% of area under the curve. In this case z = -1,882

n = -1,882 * 8 + 269

n = 253.94 = 254
