Factor the equation. Remember the value should add to the b value and multiply to the c value.
x^2-x-12= 0
(x-4)(x+3)=0
Use the zero product property to find roots
x-4=0
x=4
x+3=0
x=-3
Final answer: x=-3, x=4
I converted everything into decimals and went from there.
Base height + statue height = total height
Total height = 305
statue height = 111
base height + 111 = 305
Subtract both sides by 111
base height = 194
The height of the base is 194 feet.
Have an awesome day! :)
The correct factorization is
2(x-2)²
Considering a discrete distribution, it is found that the expected number of new employees to be hired by the airline is of 446.16.
<h3>What is the mean of a discrete distribution?</h3>
The expected value of a discrete distribution is given by the <u>sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability</u>.
In this problem, considering the situation described in the text, the distribution is given by:
Hence, the expected value is given by:
E(X) = 0.37(867) + 0.63(199) = 446.16.
