To factor x²-2x-4, you are looking to answer three questions.

1) What pair of numbers multiplies to 4?

2) What pair of numbers multiplies to 1?

3) Do these pairs when multiplied together, add/subtract to the middle term?

To answer (1), our pairs are 2 and 2, 4 and 1. Since there's a negative with 4 at the end (from question one), the signs will be opposite.

To answer (2), only pair multiplies to 1 - 1 and 1. Let's try both pairs from 1.

(x-4)(x+1) The middle term here is -3x. Nope.

(x-1)(x+4). The middle term here is 3x. Nope.

(x-2)(x+2) The middle term is 0x (or no middle term). Nope.

So x²-2x-4 does not factor.

The probability of drawing a heart from a standard deck of cards is 0.25. You record the car do you draw and return the car befo
Licemer1 [7]

Answer: C) 0.112

Step-by-step explanation:

In binomial distribution with parameters n (Total trails) and p (probability of getting success sin each trial) , the probability of getting success in x trials is given by :-

P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Given : The probability of drawing a heart from a standard deck of cards is 0.25

Here , getting heart is the success.

Then p= 0.25

For n= 20

The probability that you will draw a heart seven times i.e. x= 7:

P(X=7)=^{20}C_7(0.25)^7(1-0.25)^{20-7}

P(X=7)=\dfrac{20!}{7!(20-7)!}(0.25)^7(1-0.25)^{20-7}\ \ [\because\ ^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}]

=\dfrac{20\times19\times18\times17\times16\times15\times14\times13!}{7!13!}(0.25)^7(0.75)^{13}\\\\=77520(0.00006103515625)(0.0237572640181)\\\\=0.112406195476\approx0.112

Hence, the probability that you will draw a heart seven times = 0.112

Thus , the correct answer is C) 0.112 .

Evaluate the integral. 3 2 t3i t t − 2 j t sin(πt)k dt
sveta [45]

∫(t = 2 to 3) t^3 dt

= (1/4)t^4 {for t = 2 to 3}

= 65/4.

----

∫(t = 2 to 3) t √(t - 2) dt

= ∫(u = 0 to 1) (u + 2) √u du, letting u = t - 2

= ∫(u = 0 to 1) (u^(3/2) + 2u^(1/2)) du

= [(2/5) u^(5/2) + (4/3) u^(3/2)] {for u = 0 to 1}

= 26/15.

----

For the k-entry, use integration by parts with

u = t, dv = sin(πt) dt

du = 1 dt, v = (-1/π) cos(πt).


So, ∫(t = 2 to 3) t sin(πt) dt

= (-1/π) t cos(πt) {for t = 2 to 3} - ∫(t = 2 to 3) (-1/π) cos(πt) dt

= (-1/π) (3 * -1 - 2 * 1) + [(1/π^2) sin(πt) {for t = 2 to 3}]

= 5/π + 0

= 5/π.

Therefore,

∫(t = 2 to 3) <t^3, t√(t - 2), t sin(πt)> dt = <65/4, 26/15, 5/π>.
