What are the values of x in the equation x(x-6)=4(x+6)

bonufazy [111]

$x(x-6)=4(x+6)\ \ \ |use\ distributive\ property\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\x(x)+x(-6)=4(x)+4(6)\\\\x^2-6x=4x+24\ \ \ \ |subtract\ 4x\ and\ 24\ from\ both\ sides\\\\x^2-10x-24=0\\\\x^2-12x+2x-24=0\\\\x(x-12)+2(x-12)=0\iff(x-12)(x+2)=0\\\\therefore\\\\x-12=0\ or\ x+2=0\\\\Answer:\boxed{x=12\ or\ x=-2}$

The probability that an archer hits her target when it is windy is 0.4; when it is not windy, her probability of hitting the tar

zzz [600]

Answer:

a) the probability is 0.12 (12%)

b) the probability is 0.61 (61%)

c) the probability is 0.476 (47.6%)

a) the probability is 0.538 (53.8%)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) denoting the event H= hits her target and G= a gust of wind appears hen

P(H∩G) = probability that a gust of wind appears * probability of hitting the target given that is windy = 0.3* 0.4 = 0.12 (12%)

b) for any given shot

P(H)= probability that a gust of wind appears*probability of hitting the target given that is windy + probability that a gust of wind does not appear*probability of hitting the target given that is not windy = 0.3*0.4+0.7*0.7 = 0.12+0.49 = 0.61 (61%)

c) denoting P₂ as the probability of hitting once in 2 shots and since the archer can hit in the first shot or the second , then

P₂ = P(H)*(1-P(H))+ (1-P(H))*P(H) = 2*P(H) *(1-P(H)) = 2*0.61*0.39= 0.476 (47.6%)

d) for conditional probability we can use the theorem of Bayes , where

M= the archer misses the shot → P(M) = 1- P(H) = 0.39

S= it is not windy when the archer shots → P(S) = 1- P(G) = 0.7

then

P(S/M) = P(S∩M)/P(M) = 0.7*(1-0.7)/0.39 = 0.538 (53.8%)

where P(S/M) is the probability that there was no wind when the archer missed the shot

Estimate 38¼ - 14¾ by rounding each number to the nearest whole number.

Gemiola [76]

By rounding each number to the nearest whole number is 23.5

Given,

Estimate 38¼ - 14¾

and, by rounding each number to the nearest whole number.

Now, The solution is :

=38¼ - 14¾ = 153/4 - 59/4

=> $\frac{153-59}{4}$

=> 94/4

=> 23.5

Estimation a number to the nearest whole number:

To round a number to the nearest whole number, you have to look at the first digit after the decimal point. If the digit is less than 5 (1, 2 , 3, 4) we don't have to do anything, but if the digit is 5 or greater (5,6,7,8,9) we must round up.

Hence, By rounding each number to the nearest whole number is 23.5

What is the solution set of the equation using the quadratic formula?

oee [108]

(1)

we are given

$x^2+6x+10=0$

we can use quadratic formula

$\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}$

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

now, we can compare and find a , b and c

we get

$a=1,b=6,c=10$

now, we can plug these values into quadratic formula

$x=\frac{-6\pm \sqrt{6^2-4(1)(10)}}{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-6+\sqrt{6^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:10}}{2\cdot \:1}$

we can simplify it

$x=-3+i$

$x=\frac{-6-\sqrt{6^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:10}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$x=-3-i$

so, we will get solution

{−3+i, −3−i}.........Answer

(2)

we are given equation as

$x^2-8x+14=0$

Since, Jamal solve this equation by completing square

so, firstly we will move constant term on right side

so, subtract both sides by 14

$x^2-8x+14-14=0-14$

$x^2-8x=-14$

we can write

$-8x=-2\times 4\times x$

so, we will add both sides by 4^2

$x^2-8x+4^2=-14+4^2$

we get

$x^2-8x+16=-14+16$ ..............Answer

The function D(t) defines a traveler's distance from home, in miles, as a function of time, in hours. D(t) = StartLayout enlarge

nalin [4]

- At 2 hours, the traveler is 725 miles from home.

- At 3 hours, the distance is constant, at 880 miles. --> TRUE.

- The total distance from home after 6 hours is 1,062.5 miles --> TRUE.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function D(t) is defined as follows:

$D(t) = 300t+125$ for $t< 2.5$

$D(t) = 880$ for $2.5 \leq 3.5$

$D(t) = 75t+612.5$ for $t\leq 6$

Where

t is the time in hours

D(t) is the distance covered, in miles, after t hours

Now let's analyze the different statements:

- The starting distance, at 0 hours, is 300 miles. --> FALSE. In fact, if we substitute t = 0 into the 1st equation, we get

$D(0) = (300)(0)+125 = 125$

So, the distance at t = 0 is 125 miles.

- At 2 hours, the traveler is 725 miles from home. --> TRUE. In fact, if we substitute t = 2 into the 1st equation,

$D(2) = (300)(2)+125 = 725$

- At 2.5 hours, the traveler is 875 miles from home. --> FALSE. In fact, for t=2.5 we have to use the 2nd equation, which states that the distance is:

D(t) = 880

So, not 875 miles.

- At 3 hours, the distance is constant, at 880 miles. --> TRUE. This is clearly visible from the 2nd equation: for t between 2.5 and 3.5 (so, in this case), the distance is

D(t) = 880

- The total distance from home after 6 hours is 1,062.5 miles --> TRUE. In fact, if we replace t = 6 into the last equation,

$D(6)) = 75(6)+612.5=1062.5$
