Answer:

a:x=-3

c:x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros of a function are the values of x for which the value of the function f(x) becomes zero.

In this problem, we have the following function:

f(x)=\frac{1}{2}(x-1)(x+3)

Here we want to find the zeros of the function, i.e. the values of x for which

f(x)=0

In order to make f(x) equal to zero, either one of the factors (x-1) or (x+3) must be equal to zero.

Therefore, the two zeros can be found by requiring that:

1)

x-1=0\\\rightarrow x=+1

2)

x+3=0\\\rightarrow x=-3

So the correct options are

a:x=-3

c:x=1

On Decemeber 18th, there is a 75% chance that Santa will come to the mall that day and a 55% chance that your best friend will b
goblinko [34]

Answer:

<u>The probability that Santa will come to the mall OR your best friend will be there is 47.4%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Probability that Santa will come to the mall on December 18th = 75%

Probability that your best friend will be at the mall on December 18th = 55%

Probability that Santa will come to the mall on December 18th AND your best friend will be there = 75% * 55% = 41.3% not just 40%

2.  What is the probability that Santa will come to the mall OR your best friend will be there?

For answering this question, we should calculate first the probability that Santa will not come to the mall on December 18th AND your best friend will not be there, this way:

Probability that Santa will not come to the mall on December 18th AND your best friend will not be there = 25% * 45% = 11.3%

Now, we know that the probability that Santa will come to the mall on December 18th AND your best friend will be there is 41.3% and the probability that Santa will not come to the mall on December 18th AND your best friend will not be there is 11.3%.

Therefore,  the probability that Santa will come to the mall OR your best friend will be there is:

100% - 41.3% - 11.3% = 100% - 52.6% = 47.4%

<u>The probability that Santa will come to the mall OR your best friend will be there is 47.4%</u>

There are 25 players in a ping-pong tournament. Each player plays every other player exactly once. How many games will be played
Aleonysh [2.5K]
This is a round robin style tournament. Given that there are 25 people, and order doesn't matter meaning that the combination AB is equivalent to BA you must use the choose formula. 

Thus the answer should be 25C2 or
<em>25! / [(25-2)! * 2!] = 300</em>

Answer:

x=\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

81^{x+1}+3^{4x}=246

81=3^4

Rewrite equation: 3^{4\left(x+1\right)}+3^{4x}=246

3^{4\left(x+1\right)}=3^{4x}\times 3^4

3^{4x}\times 3^4+3^{4x}=246

Factor out 3^{4x}:

3^{4x}\left(3^4+1\right)=246

Divide both sides by (3^4+1):

\frac{3^{4x}\left(3^4+1\right)}{3^4+1}=\frac{246}{3^4+1}

3^{4x}=\frac{246}{3^4+1}

3^{4x}=\frac{246}{82}

3^{4x}=3

Anything to the power of 1 is itself. Hence,

4x=1\\

x=\frac{1}{4}
