Answer:

a. – 4 or –3

b. –4 or –2

c. 4 or –3

d. 7 or 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To factorize the above expression, multiply the first and last term together, then find two factors of the result such that their sum will result to the middle term of the expression.

Now, we shall give the answers to the question.

a. x² + 7x + 12 = 0

x² + 3x + 4x + 12 = 0

Factorise

x(x + 3) + 4(x + 3) = 0

(x + 4)(x + 3) = 0

x + 4 = 0 or x + 3 = 0

x = 0 – 4 or x = 0 – 3

x = – 4 or –3

Therefore, the roots of the equation are – 4 or –3

b. t² + 6t + 8 = 0

t² + 2t + 4t + 8 = 0

Factorise

t(t + 2) + 4(t + 2) = 0

(t + 4)(t + 2) = 0

t + 4 = 0 or t + 2 = 0

t = 0 – 4 or t = 0 – 2

t = –4 or –2

Therefore, the roots of the equation are –4 or –2

c. 2n² – 2n – 24 = 0

Divide through by 2

n² – n – 12 = 0

n² + 3n – 4n – 12 = 0

Factorise

n(n + 3) – 4(n + 3) = 0

(n – 4)(n + 3) = 0

n – 4 = 0 or n + 3 = 0

n = 0 + 4 or n = 0 – 3

n = 4 or n = –3

Therefore, the roots of the equation are 4 or –3

d. y² – 11y + 28 = 0

y² – 4y – 7y + 28 = 0

Factorise

y(y – 4) – 7(y – 4) = 0

(y – 7)(y – 4) = 0

y – 7 = 0 or y – 4 = 0

y = 0 + 7 or y = 0 + 4

y = 7 or 4

Therefore, the roots of the equation are 7 or 4.

(No links please) There were 2 red marbles, 3 blue marbles and 5 gold marbles in a bag.
Rashid [163]

Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

You started with 10 marbles total. You removed one marble and did not replace it, so you now have 9 marbles. The marble that you removed was NOT a gold marble, so you still have 5 gold marbles.

This means that out of the 9 marbles that you have left, 5 of them are gold.

This means you have a 5/9 chance of drawing a gold marble next.
