X^2 - 4 x = -2
Add 4 to both sides:
x^2 - 4 x + 4 = 2
Write the left-hand side as a square:
(x - 2)^2 = 2
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 2 = sqrt(2) or x - 2 = -sqrt(2)
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 2 + sqrt(2) or x - 2 = -sqrt(2)
Add 2 to both sides:
Answer:  x = 2 + sqrt(2) or x = 2 - sqrt(2)

REY [17]

Answer:

0.572

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

We have

n = 1090 of US adults

x = 623 selected from this population at random who consider the occupation to be one of great prestige

So we have that

The probability of X = x/n

= 623/1090

= 0.572

We conclude that 0.572 is the probability that a US adult selected at random thinks the occupation has great prestige.

Derek wrote the following paragraph proof for the Vertical Angles Theorem:
Aneli [31]
The phrase that would complete the proof is this:
Angle 2 is equal to Angle 4.

Vertical angles are angles formed when two lines intersect each other. The angles that are opposite each other are equal by a series of supplementary, complementary, and transitive property proofs.
