X^2 -x- 6 equals (x-3)(x+2). Just look at the negative six and think, what two numbers give me this? Then, get a pair of what you find, and see if the two numbers added equal to negative one (which comes from the negative "x" as the coefficient is always 1). That's how you get -3 and +2.

Could you re-write that for me?
I'm not sure I'm understanding it right.

In the figure below, Z is the center of the circle. Suppose that OR=4, ST= 4, UZ= 6, and VZ=4x-6. Find the following.

Answer:

x = 3 units

SV = 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In $\odot Z$ QR and ST are chords such that:

QR = ST = 4

That is both the chords are equal in measure.

Equal chords are at equal distance from the center of the circle. Therefore,

VZ = UZ

4x - 6 = 6

4x = 6 + 6

4x = 12

x = 12/4

x = 3 units

Since, perpendicular dropped from the center of the circle bisects the chord.

$\therefore SV = \frac{1}{2} ST$

$\therefore SV = \frac{1}{2} \times 4$

$\therefore SV = 2\: units$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + 6 + 4 = 15

Small - 5/15 = 1/3

Large - 4/15 = 4/15

The probability that he grabs a Large-sized shirt would be 4/15, which is around 26.7%. After that, he will grab a Small-sized shirt, which would have a probability of 33.33%. After combining the two, the only answer choice that could possibly make any sense is C. (using the process of elimination.)
