X^(2)-4x-17=0 Please show work step by step

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dimas [21]3 years ago
7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems here that they are asking us to solve for x

to do this we first need to factor

Since we can't factor this using the normal method we can instead do this

x^2 -4x-17=0

add 4 to both sides as it is a perfect square

x^2 - 4x + 4  = 17 +4

(x-2)^2 = sqrt 21

x-2 = ±  4.58

x -2 = 4.58    x-2 = -4.58

x= 6.58          x=-2.58

Or just say x=2+√21 or x=2−√21

On a 8.5 x 11 inches (or larger) paper, create a carnival game (for example it could be: throwing a dart at a target, ball throu
Keith_Richards [23]

The probability of winning the game is 0.065

<h3>The description of the game</h3>

The game involves throwing two darts at two targets.

To win the game, the darts must hit anywhere in the following shapes

  • Rectangle: 5 by 4 inches
  • Circle: Radius, r = 3 inches

<h3>The probability of winning</h3>

The area of the paper is:

Area = 8.5 inches * 11 inches

Area = 93.5 square inches

The area of the rectangle on the paper is:

Area = 5 inches * 4 inches

Area = 20 square inches

The area of the circle on the paper is:

Area = π * (3 inches)²

Area = 28.3 square inches

The probability of landing on both shapes is

P(Both) = 20/93.5 * 28.3/93.5

Evaluate

P(Both) = 0.065

Hence, the probability of winning the game is 0.065
