Answer:

1.27, -6.27 to the nearest hundredth,

or if you require it in exact form,

-2.5 + √14.25, -2.5 - √14.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -5x + 8

x^2 + 5x = 8

Competing the square:

(x + 2.5)^2 - 6.25 = 8

(x + 2.5) = 14.25

x + 2.5 = +/-√14.25

x = -2.5 + √14.25, -2.5 - √14.25

x = -2.5 + 3.77, -2.5 - 3.77

= 1.27, -6.27.

In its monthly report, the local animal shelter states that it currently has 24 dogs and 18 cats available for adoption. Eight o

andrezito [222]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Total dogs=24

Total cats=18

Total animals=24+18=42

Male dogs=8

Male cats=6

Total male animals=8+6=14

Total female animals=42-14=28

Female cats=18-6=12

Dogs female=24-8=16

a.We have to find the probability that the pet is male, given that it is cat.

It means we have to find P(Male/cat)

Conditional probability: $P(A/B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}$

P(Cat)= $\frac{18}{42}$

$P(male cat)=\frac{6}{42}$

$P(Male/cat)=\frac{\frac{6}{42}}{\frac{18}{42}}$

P(male/cat)= $\frac{6}{18}=0.33$

b. $P(female cat)=\frac{12}{42}$

$P(female)=\frac{28}{42}$

$P(Cat/Female)=\frac{\frac{12}{42}}{\frac{28}{42}}=\frac{12}{28}=0.43$

c.P(Dog)= $\frac{24}{42}$

$P(dog female)=\frac{16}{42}$

$P(female/dog)=\frac{\frac{16}{42}}{\frac{24}{42}}$

$P(female/dog)=\frac{16}{24}=0.67$

I need help understanding this. SO please help and give explanation

NikAS [45]

So my understanding from this you have to make it y = mx + b so m stands for the slope there’s different ways to find it as shown in the first picture. I’ll try to make another comment since this only lets me take one picture at a time.

Solve for the following 6(16x+3)-2/3(9-12x)+25=0

lutik1710 [3]

First expand the parentheses:-

96x + 18 - 6 + 8x + 25 = 0

104x = -18 + 6 - 25 = -37

x = -37 / 104 = -0.3558
