Factor this equation 4x^2+12x-7

1 answer:

3 0

$4x^2+12x-7=0\\\\a=4;\ b=12;\ c=-7\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\Delta=12^2-4\cdot4\cdot(-7)=144+112=256 \ \textgreater \ 0\\\\therefore\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\ and\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{256}=16\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-12-16}{2\cdot4}=\dfrac{-28}{8}=\boxed{-\dfrac{7}{2}}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-12+16}{2\cdot4}=\dfrac{4}{8}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}}$

Is the distance a baseball travels in the air after being hit a discrete random variable, a continuous random variable, or not

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: a continuous random variable

Step-by-step explanation:

Can you count the distance it traveled? You can't, so it couldn't be discrete because you can count discrete variables.

Can you measure the distance it traveled? You sure can, that makes it a continuous random variable.

Do you know the exact distance it's going to travel? You won't, therefore it's a random variable since you don't know the value beforehand.

Typing errors in a text are either nonword errors (as when "the" is typed as "teh") or word errors that result in a real but inc

nordsb [41]

Answer:

a) X is binomial with n = 10 and p = 0.3

Y is binomial with n = 10 and p = 0.7

b) The mean number of errors caught is 7.

The mean number of errors missed is 3.

c) The standard deviation of the number of errors caught is 1.4491.

The standard deviation of the number of errors missed is 1.4491.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each typing error, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is caught, or it is not. The probability of a typing error being caught is independent of other errors. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$
