Option A

Using zero product property the solution to equation $x^2 + x -30 = 12$ is x = -7 or x = 6

Solution:

The zero product property is that if the product of two or more factors is equal to zero then at least one of the factors must be equal to zero.

Rearrange the equation so it is equal to zero and then factor the quadratic. Apply the zero product property to each of the factors to get the solutions.

Given equation is:

$x^2 + x -30 = 12\\\\x^2 + x -30 - 12 = 0$

$x^2 + x -42 = 0$

Now, we will split the middle term

$x^2 + 7x - 6x -42 = 0$

Taking "x" as common from first two terms and -6 as common from last two terms

$x(x + 7) - 6(x + 7) = 0$

Taking (x + 7) as common term,

(x + 7)(x - 6) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x ( zero product property )

x + 7 = 0 or x - 6 = 0

x = -7 or x = 6

Thus the solution to given equation is found

A number is selected at

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

0.4444 = 44.44% probability that the sum of the two numbers is greater than 3 but less than 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

A number is selected at random from each of the sets {2,3,4} and {1, 3, 5}.

The possible values for the sum are:

2 + 1 = 3

2 + 3 = 5

2 + 5 = 7

3 + 1 = 4

3 + 3 = 6

3 + 5 = 8

4 + 1 = 5

4 + 3 = 7

4 + 5 = 9

Find the probability that the sum of the two numbers is greater than 3 but less than 7?

4 of the 9 sums are greater than 3 but less than 7. So

$p = \frac{4}{9} = 0.4444$

0.4444 = 44.44% probability that the sum of the two numbers is greater than 3 but less than 7.

Complete the square: x^2 +6x +c

victus00 [196]

You want to put this in the form (x+b)^2 + c

To do this take half of the coefficient of b from the ordinal form which is 6/2=3 as use this as your new b

This give you (x+3)^2.

If you foil this out you get x^2 +6x +9 so you have added 9 to the original expression so now all you need to do is subtract 9 to keep things balanced

The final expression then is (x+3)^2 -9

So c= -9

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose you have a quadratic function

$ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0$

Factoring this expression results in:

$ax ^ 2 + bx + c = (x-h) (x-k) = 0$

Where h and k are real numbers.

Then the function is equal to 0 when $x = h$ and when $k = 0$ .

Therefore h and k will always be the solutions when we have the quadratic function factored in the form

$(x-h)(x-k) = 0$

Since we have ensured that the factors of the function contain only real numbers, then h and k are real numbers, and x and y must also be real numbers. Therefore solutions to an equation in this form will always be real solutions.

The statement is true
