Answer:

The value of x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

Solution of a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0

x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a

It is given that,

x² -12x + 36 = 0

To find the solution of given equation

Here a = 1, b = -12 and c = 36

x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a

= [--12 ± √((-12)² - 4*1*36)]/2*1

= [12 ± √(144 - 144)]/2

= 12/2 = 6

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: x² - 12x + 36 = 0

Quadratic formula: ax² + bx + c = 0 --> x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac))/2a

Substitute: x = (12 ± √(12² - 4 * 36))/2

Multiply: x = (12 ± √(144 - 144))/2

Subtract: x = (12 ± 0)/2

Solve: x = 6

1. Miguel is playing a game in which a box contains four chips with numbers written on them. Two of the chips have the number 1,

zzz [600]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Miguel is playing a game

The box contains 4 chips, 2 with number 1, and other two differntly numbered as 3 and 5.

OUt of these 4, 2 chips are drawn

P(drawing same number) = 2C2/4C2 = $\frac{1}{6}$

Prob (drawing differnt numbers) = 1-1/6 = $\frac{5}{6}$

Hence prob of winning 2 dollars = $\frac{1}{6}$

Prob of losing 1 dollar = $\frac{5}{6}$

b) Expected value = sum of prob x amount won

= $\frac{1}{6}2+\frac{5}{6}(-1)=-\frac{1}{2}$

c) Miguel can expect to lose 1/2 dollars for every game he plays

d) If it is to be a fair game expected value =0

i.e. let the amount assigned be s

Then $\frac{1}{6}s-\frac{5}{6}=0\\s=5$

Suppose the students who scored 85 and 90 on the math test take the test again and score 95 how manu stars would you have to add

Akimi4 [234]

In this question, each star equal to 4 students. If the people on 85 and 90 take the test again that means their number should be 14+4 people= 18 people.
If they all get 95, then it means we need to add 18 people to the 95 graph. The number of stars would be: 18 people / (4people/stars)= 4.5 stars

If you add the stars graph it will be easier. It should be clear that 85 will have 1 stars and 90 have 3.5 stars. Adding them up will be 1 stars + 3.5 stars= 4.5 stars
