You could factor it as 2(x + 3)
Answer:
x = 2
x = -3/2 or -1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
For this, I would use the "slip and slide" method. LOL I know the name is cheesy, but that's what my teacher called it!
First, you "slip" the coefficent of the leading term (2) to the constant, and multiply.
The equation becomes:
x² - x - 6(2) = 0
x² - x - 12 = 0
Then, you factor this out by looking at the second and third terms. You're looking for 2 factors of -12 that would add up to -1 ( the coefficent of the second term).
Automatically, think of 3 and 4, because the difference between them is 1.
The factors must be (x-4) and (x+3) because they multiple to -12, and add up to -1.
This step is extremely important! Lol I used to forget it a lot, but make sure you divide the constant in each factor by the original number you "slipped".
It would become (x-(4/2))(x+3/2) = (x-2)(x+3/2)
With (x+3/2), you don't want to leave it as a fraction or decimal. It's equivalent to (2x+3). However, the informal form is easier to identify the value of x.
The answer is the third image.
It shows the original image reflected across the y-axis.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:

x P(X)
0 0.238
1 0.438
2 0.269
3 0.055

0.707
There is 70.7% chance that at least one but at most two adults in the sample believes in the ghost
12.
1.14≅1
There will be one adult out of three we expect to believe in the ghost
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability distribution is constructed using binomial distribution.
We have to construct the probability distribution of the number adults believe in ghosts out of three adults. so,
x=0,1,2,3
n=3
p=probability of adults believe in ghosts=0.38
The binomial distribution formula
nCxp^xq^n-x=3cx0.38^x0.62^3-x
is computed for x=0,1,2,3 and the results depicts the probability distribution of the number adults believe in ghosts out of three adults.
x P(X)
0 0.238
1 0.438
2 0.269
3 0.055
11.
P(at least one but at most two adults in the sample believes in the ghost )= P(x=1)+P(x=2)=0.437+0.269=0.707
P(at least one but at most two adults in the sample believes in the ghost )=70.7%
12. E(x)=n*p
here n=3 adults and p=0.38
E(x)=3*0.38=1.14
so we expect one adult out of three will believe in the ghosts.
