I'm thinking of a number. This number is 12 less than its square. What could my number be?

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

n represents the number

n = -12 + n2        reorder terms

n = n2 - 12          subtract n from both sides

0 = n2 - n - 12     FOIL

0 = (n - 4)(n + 3)

(-3,4)

So the only 2 numbers that could be 12 less than its square are -3 and 4, but I am pretty sure that they want positive numbers, so I would go with 4.

Is it 4? Because the square of it is 16 and 16-12 = 4

Two equations are given below:
goldenfox [79]
Since the second equation gives a value for a, we can substitute it into the other equation to find a value for B.

Let's substitute b-2 into the first equation wherever there is an a.

a - 3b = 4
(b-2) - 3b = 4
b - 2 - 3b = 4
-2 - 2b = 4
-2b = 6
b = -3

Now let's find a by substituting -3 into either of the equations to find the value of a.

a = b - 2
a = -3 - 2
a = -5

So your solution set  is (-5, -3)

Answer:  13300

========================================

Work Shown:

A = event that it rains

B = event that it does not rain

P(A) = 0.30

P(B) = 1-P(A) = 1-0.30 = 0.70

Multiply the attendance figures with their corresponding probabilities

  • if it rains, then 7000*P(A) = 7000*0.30 = 2100
  • if it doesn't rain, then 16000*P(B) = 16000*0.70 = 11200

Add up the results: 2100+11200 = 13300

This is the expected value. This is basically the average based on the probabilities. The average is more tilted toward the higher end of the spectrum (closer to 16000 than it is to 7000) because there is a higher chance that it does not rain.
