Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose :

62% own an HDTV

16% own a computer

Using the addition rule : suggests that (62% + 16%) = 78% either own an HDTV or a computer.

The reasoning is wrong because ; since it is possible to own both an HDTV and also own a computer at the same time, the outcome of the addition rule is wrong as both events are independent. If both event cannot occur at the same time (mutually exclusive event) , then, the addition rule may be applied,. But since both can occur independently and each family can own an HDTV while also owning a computer, then the addition rule is wrong for the scenario described.

49x^2=-21x-2 quadratic functions
lara [203]

Answer: 49x^2=-21x-2 quadratic functions -1/7and -2/7    



Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic function:

In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a formula that provides the solution to a quadratic equation. There are other ways of solving a quadratic equation instead of using the quadratic formula, such as factoring, completing the square, graphing and others.

Move terms to the left side

49x^{2}  =-21x-2

49x^{2}  -(-21x-2) =0

 Distribute

49x^{2}  -(-21x-2) =0

49x^{2}+21x+2=0

Use the quadratic formula



 x=(-b±√b^{2}  -4ac  ) / 2a

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Once in standard form, identify a, b, and c from the original equation and plug them into the quadratic formula.

 49x^{2}+21x+2=0

let, a=49

b=21

c=2

 Replace with values in this equation

X=(-b±√b^{2}  -4ac  ) / 2a

Simplify

Evaluate the exponent

Multiply the numbers

Subtract the numbers

Evaluate the square root

Multiply the numbers

x=(-21±7) /98

Separate the equations

To solve for the unknown variable, separate into two equations: one with a plus and the other with a minus.Separate

x=(-21+7) /98

x=(-21-7) /98

Solve

Rearrange and isolate the variable to find each solution

x=-1/7

x=-2/7
