Answer:

6 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-4x-12

set up equal to zero

x^2-4x-12=0

lets factor:

(x-6)(x+2)=0

x-6=0

x=6

or

x+2=0

x=-2

Answer:

x=6  x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-4x-12 = 0

Factor

What two numbers multiply to -12 and add to -4

-6*2 = -12

-6+2 = -4

(x-6)(x+2) =0

Using the zero product property

(x-6) =0   x+2 = 0

x=6  x=-2

For a fair coin, suppose you toss the coin 100 times.

Using the normal distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0005 = 0.05% probability of getting more than 66 heads.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
  • Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.
  • The binomial distribution is the probability of x successes on n trials, with p probability of a success on each trial. It can be approximated to the normal distribution with \mu = np, \sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}.

For the binomial distribution, the parameters are given as follows:

n = 100, p = 0.5.

Hence the mean and the standard deviation of the approximation are given as follows:

  • \mu = np = 100(0.5) = 50.
  • \sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{100(0.5)(0.5)} = 5

Using continuity correction, the probability of getting more than 66 heads is P(X > 66 + 0.5) = P(X > 66.5), which is <u>one subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 66.5</u>.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{66.5 - 50}{5}

Z = 3.3

Z = 3.3 has a p-value of 0.9995.

1 - 0.9995 = 0.0005.

0.0005 = 0.05%

Pls Help me with this answer
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

a. 5

b. -3

Step-by-step explanation:

a. (5*(8^1/3 + 27^1/3)^3)^1/4

= ((40^1/3 + 135^1/3)^3)^1/4

≈ ((3.42 + 5.13)^3)^1/4

≈ (8.55^3)^1/4

≈ 625^4

= 5

b. 64^-1/3*(64^1/3 - 64^2/3)

= 0.25*(4 - 16)

= 1/4 or 0.25 *-12

= -12*1 / 4

= -12/4

= -3

Hope this helped :3

The recipe makes 8 pancakes.
He wants to make 12 pancakes.

First, find out how many times what he needs is compared to the recipe.

He wants 12 pancakes; the recipe makes 8 pancakes.

12/8 = 1.5

He wants to make 1.5 times the recipe.

Now multiply every ingredient amount by 1.5 to find what he needs to make 12 pancakes.

240 g of plain flour.
240 g * 1.5 = 360 g of plain flour

2 egs
2 eggs * 1.5 = 3 eggs

600 ml milk
600 ml * 1.5 = 900 ml

Answer: 360; 3; 900
