Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
To find h(6), we must plug in 6 into the function.
h(x) = x^2 - 2x - 5
h(6) = 6^2 - 2(6) - 5
= 36 - 12 - 5
= 36 - 17 = 19
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is already factored for us, which is really nice, so now all we need to do is apply the Zero Product Property to the sets of parenthesis and solve for x, which will give us the 2 times that the object is on the ground.
x + 1 = 0 so
x = -1
x - 9 = 0 so
x = 9
We all know that time cannot ever be negative, so the time that the object is on the ground is 9 seconds after it's launched (which was from an initial height of 45 meters).
Answer: there are 8 quarters in the jar
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of nickels that is inside the jar.
The total number of coins inside the jar is 20.
Probability is expressed as
Number of possible or favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes.
The probability of selecting a nickel is 0.6. This is expressed as
0.6 = x/20
Cross multiplying, it becomes
x = 20 × 0.6
x = 12
Since there are 12 nickels inside the jar, then the number of quarters would be
20 - 12 = 8
