Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite this in standard quadratic equation form: x^2 - 7x + 6 + 8 = 0, or x^2 - 7x + 14 = 0. This does not factor easily, so I will use the quadratic formula to find the roots and then write out the factors based upon the roots:
The discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, which here is (-7)^2 - 4(1)(14) = -7.
Because the discriminant is negative, we know that there are two unequal, complex roots. They are:
-(-7) ± i√7 7 ± i√7
x = ----------------- = ---------------
2 2
One factor is (x - [1/2]{7 ± √7} )
I think the answer would be c
Answer:
about 18.2%
Step-by-step explanation:
All you have to do is divide the result of the percent, so 25.7, by the total, 141.
So 25.7÷141=0.18226950354
We round it to 0.182 and multiply it by 100 to know the percent which is 18.2
Answer:
The probability that a defective rod can be salvaged = 0.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
A machine shop produces heavy duty high endurance 20-inch rods
On occasion, the machine malfunctions and produces a groove or a chisel cut mark somewhere on the rod.
If such defective rods can be cut so that there is at least 15 consecutive inches without a groove.
Then; The defective rod can be salvaged if the groove lies on the rod between 0 and 5 inches i.e ( 20 - 15 )inches
Now:
P(X ≤ 5) = 
= 0.25
P(X ≥ 15) =
= 0.25
The probability that a defective rod can be salvaged = P(X ≤ 5) + P(X ≥ 15)
= 0.25+0.25
= 0.50
∴ The probability that a defective rod can be salvaged = 0.50
2 1/6
multiply the fraction to see the answer. if you multiply 4 and 1 third by three sixth you get 2 3/18 which is the same as 2 1/6.
