What are the solutions to 0=x^2-x+1?

kumpel [21]

Answer: No solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no solutions to 0 = x² - x + 1.

[Method One]

We can solve this by rewriting the equation, but it is quicker to graph it when there are no solutions. See attached.

[Method Two]

I said we can solve this by solving an equation, here it is. We will use the quadratic formula since the equation given is already in the proper form.

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(1)} }{2(1)}$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{-3} }{2}$

-> Negative numbers don't have real square roots, so there is no solution

A mother decides to teach her son about a letter each day of the week. She will choose a letter from the name of the day. For ex

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The days of the week include

Sunday

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

a) So, the possible letters to be taught include

A, D, E, F, H, I, M, N, O, R, S, T, U, W, Y

There are indeed 15 possible letters.

These are the letters from which all the days of the week are formed from.

b) There are more than 4 letters that can't be taught using this method.

All the letters that cannot be taught using this method because no day of the week contains them include

B, C, G, J, K, L, P, Q, V, X, Z

c) In Tuesday, there are 7 distinct letters.

So, the sample space consist of 7 letters.

n(sample space) = 7

n(Y) = 1

Probability of picking a Y = (1/7)

The reasoning is simple, picking a Y on a Tuesday is one out of 7 possible outcomes, so, the probability of picking a Y on a Tuesday to teach the kid about = (1/7) = 0.143

Hope this Helps!!!

Someone pls help asap this is due tmrw !!<br><br> x - 3y = -12<br> 2x + 3y = 3

hram777 [196]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this system of equations we will add them

x-3y=-12

2x+3y=3 now +3y-3y=0

3x=-12+3

3x=-9

x=-3

plug in the first equation

-3-3y=-12

-3y=-12+3

-3y=-9

y=3
