We have f(x) = 0;
Then x^2 - 1 - 2x - 2 = 0;
(x - 1)(x + 1) - 2(x + 1) = 0;
(x + 1)(x - 1 - 2) = 0;
(x + 1)(x - 3) = 0;
x + 1 = 0 or x - 3 = 0;
x = -1 or x = 3;
The zeroes of f are -1 and 3.
Ratio in the first sample = 250/1000 = 1/4 = 0.25
ratio in the second sample = 750/2000 = 0.375
hence ,<span> there is a greater proportion of smokers in the second city than in the first.

Answer:
Therefore the value of x is 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
△ABC ≅ △DEF,
EF = x 2 - 7, and
BC = 4x - 2.
To Find:
the values of x. = ?
Solution:
△ABC ≅ △DEF ........Given
If two Triangles are congruent then the Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent.
∴ BC ≅ EF ...................CPCTC
Substituting the values we get

Now By Factorizing we get

Therefore the value of x is 5.
