Answer:

When they are equal, y=y, so we can say:

x^2+5x-2=x+1 subtract x from both sides

x^2+4x-2=1 add 2 to both sides

x^2+4x=3, now add half the linear coefficient squared, (4/2)^2=4

x^2+4x+4=3+4 now the left side is a perfect square

(x+2)^2=7 now take the square root of both sides

x+2=±√7 subtract 2 from both sides

x=-2±√7

x=-2+√7 and -2-√7

y=x+1 the two points where these equations are equal are:

(-2-√7, -1-√7) and (-2+√7, -1+√7)

or approximately:

(-4.65, -3.65) and (0.65, 1.65)

For both of these, we will divide the wanted outcome by the number of possible outcomes. We will end up with a decimal. A decimal multiplied by 100 becomes a percent.

[a] 50%

$\displaystyle \frac{\text{wanted outcomes}}{\text{possible outcomes}} =\frac{\text{student failed}}{\text{Period 2's class}} =\frac{12}{24} =0.5,\:0.5*100=50\%$

[b] 52%

$\displaystyle \frac{\text{wanted outcomes}}{\text{possible outcomes}} =\frac{\text{student failed from Period 3}}{\text{fails from both classes}} =\frac{13}{25} =0.52,$
