Answer:
-7-a
Step-by-step explanation:
2a-3a +5-12
-a - 7
or -7-a
Let's solve this by using the quadratic formula:
Note that we only use the coefficients so a=12, b=-14, and c=-6.
Plug values in the quadratic equation:
And so by evaluating those values we obtain:
Now we have two answers which are our factors one where we add another where we subtract and so:
First factor:
Second Factor:
And so your factors are
meaning that those are your roots/x-intercepts.
Looking at the set, we are given 18 elements. 17 is prime; it has only two factors: 1 and 17, since 1•17=17. So, the question is really asking what is the probability the numbers 1 or 17 is chosen. As mentioned earlier, 17 is prime, so there are two possible choices: 1 and 17.
P (probability) = possible outcomes / total outcomes
It is important to note that these events are “or” events, meaning that the probability can only be determined by choosing a 1 or a 17; you can’t randomly chose a 1 and 17 at the same time. So, the formula is:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
All this is saying is that given two possible outcomes, the probability occurs independent of each event; they don’t occur at the same time.
P(1 or 17) = P(1)/18 + P(1)/18
P(1 or 17) = 2/18
Since 17 is prime, it’s two and only factors are 1 and 17. The probability of randomly choosing a 1 or 17 is 2/18, meaning that there are 2 elements in the set out of a possible 18 elements that can be randomly chosen.
2/18 simplifies to 1/9
So, your answer is 1/9
