Answer:

p = 6, q = - 1 , or p = - 1, q = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorise the quadratic expression on the left side

y² + 5y - 6

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the y- term (+ 5)

The factors are + 6 and - 1 , since

6 × - 1 = - 6 and 6 - 1 = + 5 , then

y² + 5y - 6

= (y + 6)(y - 1) = (y - 1)(y + 6)

Compare to (y + p)(y + q) , then

p = 6, q = - 1 or p = - 1, q = 6

Answer:

(y+6)(y-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

literally factorising.

y^2 x -6 = -6y^2

u need two numbers that multiply to make -6 and add them together to make +5 which is +6 and -1.

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

24 - 3 x = -27

Subtract 24 from each side

24-24 - 3 x = -27-24

-3x =-51

Divide each side by -3

-3x/-3 = -51/-3

x = 17

Check

24 -3(17) = -27

24 -51 = -27

-27 = -27

Sav [38]

Answer:

0.0006087 (4 sf)

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial distribution:  X ~ B(n, p)

where n is the number of trials and p is the probability of success

Let the random variable X be the number of people with brown eyes

n = 14

p = 40% = 0.4

Therefore,  X ~ B(14, 0.4)

P(X ≥ 12) = 1 - P(X ≤ 11)

              = 1 - 0.9993913226...

              = 0.000608677...
