Answer:
The number that goes in place of the question mark is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve it!
3x² + 12x - 24 = 0
First we can factor 3 out of each term:
x² + 4x - 8 = 0
Now we'll add 12 to both sides to complete the square:
x² + 4x + 4 = 12
And finish it off:
(x + 2)² = 12
So the answer to the question is 2
Bonus:
We can also now solve this for x:
(x + 2)² = 12
x = √12 - 2
x = 2√3 - 2
x ≈ 2 × ±1.732 - 2
x ≈ 1.464, -5.464
Answer:
97.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three bulbs be A, B and C respectively.
Let P(A) denote the probability that the first bulb will burn out
Let P(B) denote the probability that the second bulb will burn out
Let P(C) denote the probability that the third bulb will burn out
Now, we are told that Each one has a 30% probability of burning out within the month.
Thus;
P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = 30% = 0.3
Now, probability that at the end of the month at least one of the bulbs will be lit will be given as;
P(at least one bulb will be lit) = 1 - (P(A) × P(B) × P(C))
P(at least one bulb will be lit) = 1 - (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.3) = 0.973 = 97.3%
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the change in y over the change in x.
1. 123-62/2-1
2. Slope = 39x
An exponential function is a function in which the independent variable is an exponent. Exponential functions have the general form y = f (x) = ax, where a > 0, a≠1, and x is any real number. The reason a > 0 is that if it is negative, the function is undefined for -1 < x < 1.
