The probability of multiple events happening is found by multiplying the probabilities of each event together.
So yes, 1/10 is the answer :)
Answer:
x = (1/2) (-9 ± √73)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using completing the square method
x²+9x+2=0
x²+9x = -2 (complete the square by adding (9/2)² to both sides)
x²+9x + (9/2)² = -2 + (9/2)²
( x + (9/2) )² = -2+ (9/2)²
( x + (9/2) )² = -2+ (81/4)
( x + (9/2) )² = 73/4
x + (9/2) = ± √(73/4)
x + (9/2) = ± √(73) / 2
x = -(9/2) ± √(73) / 2 (factorize out (1/2) )
x = (1/2) (-9 ± √73)
First, multiply 5 and 8. That equals 40. Then you take the square root of 40, which doesn't result in a whole number, so you factor 40 and removing perfect squares. In which case the answer would be 2√10
