A computer is used to pick four letters, one after the other, from {P,Q}. Each letter can be picked more than once and has the s

ame chance of being picked.
The possible outcomes for this experiment are shown in the table.

PPPP PPPQ PPQP PQPP
QPPP PPQQ QQPP PQQP
QPPQ QPQP PQPQ QQQP
QQPQ QPQQ PQQQ QQQQ

P( all P or all Q) =

Answer: B. 0.1250

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A computer is used to pick four letters, one after the other, from {P,Q}.

From the given possible outcomes for this experiment, the number of outcomes having all P or all Q (favorable outcomes)= 2

Total number of outcomes = 16

Now, the probability of picking four letters such that they are all P or all Q is given by :-

$\text{P( all P or all Q)}=\frac{\text{favorable outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}}\\\\=\frac{2}{16}=0.1250$

Diego is solving the equation x^2-12x = 21

uysha [10]

Answer:

The solutions to the quadratic equations will be:

$x=\sqrt{57}+6,\:x=-\sqrt{57}+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$x^2-12x\:=\:21$

Let us solve the equation by completing the square

$x^2-12x\:=\:21$

Add (-6)² to both sides

$x^2-12x+\left(-6\right)^2=21+\left(-6\right)^2$

simplify

$x^2-12x+\left(-6\right)^2=57$

Apply perfect square formula: (a-b)² = a²-2ab+b²

i.e.

$x^2-12x+\left(-6\right)^2=\left(x-6\right)^2$

so the expression becomes

$\left(x-6\right)^2=57$

$\mathrm{For\:}f^2\left(x\right)=a\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{a},\:-\sqrt{a}$

solve

$x-6=\sqrt{57}$

add 6 to both sides

$x-6+6=\sqrt{57}+6$

Simplify

$x=\sqrt{57}+6$

also solving

$x-6=-\sqrt{57}$

add 6 to both sides

$x-6+6=-\sqrt{57}+6$

Simplify

$x=-\sqrt{57}+6$

Therefore, the solutions to the quadratic equation will be:

$x=\sqrt{57}+6,\:x=-\sqrt{57}+6$

What is the exact length of each side?

Alla [95]

Answer:

$6a^{2} \sqrt{ab}$

Step-by-step explanation:

area of square = side x side

thus, each side = square root of area

$\sqrt{36a^5b}$ = 6 $\sqrt{a^{4} ab}$ = 6 $a^{2}$ $\sqrt{ab}$

Please help me with this quadratic equation question! I always give out 5 stars, thanks and brainliest to people that help me wi

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

$p=25,\\q=12$

Step-by-step explanation:

In $(ax+b)(cx+d)=acx^2+bcx+dax+bd$ , notice the third term of the quadratic in standard form is formed entirely by $b\cdot d$ .

Therefore, in $12x^2 - 13x - 7175 = (x-p) (qx + 287)$ :

$-p\cdot287=-7175,\\-p=\frac{-7175}{287},\\p=\fbox{$25$}$ .

Now that we found $p$ , we must find $q$ . The first term of the quadratic in standard form is formed entirely by $ax\cdot cx$ . Therefore:

$1\cdot q=12, \\q=\fbox{$12$}$ .

Given sin x = -4/5 and x is in quadrant 3, what is the value of tan x/2

love history [14]

bearing in mind that, on the III Quadrant, sine as well as cosine are both negative, and that hypotenuse is never negative, so, if the sine is -4/5, the negative number must be the numerator, so sin(x) = (-4)/5.

$\bf sin(x)=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-4}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{5}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ \pm\sqrt{5^2-(-4)^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{9}=a\implies \pm 3=a \\\\\\ \stackrel{III~Quadrant}{-3=a}~\hfill cos(x)=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-3}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{5}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf tan\left(\cfrac{\theta}{2}\right)= \begin{cases} \pm \sqrt{\cfrac{1-cos(\theta)}{1+cos(\theta)}} \\\\ \cfrac{sin(\theta)}{1+cos(\theta)}\qquad \leftarrow \textit{let's use this one} \\\\ \cfrac{1-cos(\theta)}{sin(\theta)} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf tan\left( \cfrac{x}{2} \right)=\cfrac{~~\frac{-4}{5}~~}{1-\frac{3}{5}}\implies tan\left( \cfrac{x}{2} \right)=\cfrac{~~\frac{-4}{5}~~}{\frac{2}{5}}\implies tan\left( \cfrac{x}{2} \right)=\cfrac{-4}{5}\cdot \cfrac{5}{2} \\\\\\ tan\left( \cfrac{x}{2} \right)=\cfrac{-4}{2}\cdot \cfrac{5}{5}\implies tan\left( \cfrac{x}{2} \right)=-2$
