Factorise: a squared +8a -20

1 answer:

Vaselesa [24]3 years ago

8 0

Factor out the 4 in both equations
8a^2-20^2=(2^2 times a^2 times 2)-(2^2 times 5)
therefor it is also equal to
(2a)^2 times 2-(2^2 times 5)
we can force it into a difference of 2 perfect squares which is a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)
(2a√2)^2-(2√5)^2=((2a√2)-(2√5))((2a√2)+(2√5))

According to police sources, a car with a certain protection system will be recovered 87% of the time. Find the probability that

WITCHER [35]

Answer: 0.01145

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Binomial distribution , where the probability of getting x successes in n trial is given by :-

$P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$ , p = probability of getting each success in each trial.

As per given

The proportion that a car with a certain protection system will be recovered= p=0.87

n= 8

Let x be the number of cars will be recovered.

Then, the probability that 4 of 8 stolen cars will be recovered:

$P(X=4)=^8C_4(0.87)^4(1-0.87)^{8-4}$

$=\dfrac{8!}{4!(8-4)!}(0.87)^4(0.13)^4\\\\= 70(0.57289761)(0.00028561)\\\\=0.0114537700474\approx0.01145$

Hence, the required probability is 0.01145.

Find limit as x approaches 2 from the left of the quotient of the absolute value of the quantity x minus 2, and the quantity x m

Molodets [167]

Answer:

$\lim_{x \to 2^-} \frac{|x-2|}{x-2}=-1$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find $\lim_{x \to 2^-} \frac{|x-2|}{x-2}$ .

By definition:

$|x-2|=\left \{ {{x-2,\:if\:x\:>\:2} \atop {-(x-2),\:if\:x\:$

Since we want to find the Left Hand Limit, we use f(x)=-(x-2)

$\implies \lim_{x \to 2^-} \frac{|x-2|}{x-2}=\lim_{x \to 2} \frac{-(x-2)}{x-2}$ .

$\implies \lim_{x \to 2^-} \frac{|x-2|}{x-2}=\lim_{x \to 2} (-1)$ .

The limit of a constant is the constant.

$\implies \lim_{x \to 2^-} \frac{|x-2|}{x-2}=-1$ .

Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor. 18d+12 =18d+12=18, d, plus, 12, equals

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{6 ( 3d + 2 )}$

Step-by-step explanation:

18d + 12

The greatest common factor is 6, So we need to factor out 6

=> 6 ( 3d + 2 ) [Distributive property has been applied and this is the simplest form]
