Could someone explain why (-4)² is equal to 16 but -4² is equal to -16

erica [24]

Answer:

It's all about the brackets.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we do (-4)^2, the brackets make it -4 x -4 and the two negatives make a positive of 16.

If we do -4^2, that means that the 4 is squared before putting the minus sign there so you have 4x4 = 16 then put the minus to get -16.

Hope this helps!

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

a) 0.1423

b) 0.2977

c) 0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

For each driver stopped for speeding, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have invalid licenses, or they do not. The probability of a driver having an invalid license is independent from other drivers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

13 percent of the drivers stopped for speeding have invalid licenses.

This means that $p = 0.13$

14 drivers are stopped

This means that $n = 14$

(a) None will have an invalid license.

This is $P(X = 0)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{14,0}.(0.13)^{0}.(0.87)^{14} = 0.1423$

(b) Exactly one will have an invalid license.

This is $P(X = 1)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 1) = C_{14,1}.(0.13)^{1}.(0.87)^{13} = 0.2977$

(c) At least 2 will have invalid licenses.

Either less than 2 have invalid licenses, or at least 2 does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. Mathematically, this is

$P(X < 2) + P(X \geq 2) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 2)$

So

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)$

In which

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1423 + 0.2977 = 0.44$

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.44 = 0.56$

Find all values of k for which the equation 3x^2−4x+k=0 has no solutions.

dusya [7]

The given equation has no solution when K is any real number and k>12

We have given that

3x^2−4x+k=0

△=b^2−4ac=k^2−4(3)(12)=k^2−144.

<h3>What is the condition for a solution?</h3>

If Δ=0, it has 1 real solution,

Δ<0 it has no real solution,

Δ>0 it has 2 real solutions.

We get,

Δ=k^2−144 here Δ is not zero.

It is either >0 or <0

Δ<0 it has no real solution,

Therefore the given equation has no solution when K is any real number.

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation?<br> y = -6x+1

alekssr [168]

Answer:

2,-11

Step-by-step explanation:

create an x/y table and plug in #s for ordered pairs

-6x + 1 = y [plug in 2 for x]

-12 + 1 = -11 [ordered pair is 2, -11]
