Set the function to equal zero:

To find the zeros, or solutions, to this problem, we will use the quadratic formula:

Plug the values into the equation:




Solve for both plus and minus:



The question cannot use a negative value for x, as the diver cannot dive a negative distance from the board.
The answer is
'<span>
x = 5; the diver hits the water 5 feet away horizontally from the board', because x represents the horizontal distance away from the board.</span>

Answer:
0.0728177272
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Number of flips = 80
Probability of landing on tail at most 33 times ;
Probability of landing on tail on any given flip = 1 / 2 = 0.5
This a binomial probability problem:
Hence ;
P(x ≤ 33) = p(x=0) + p(x=1) +... + p(x = 33)
Using a binomial probability calculator :
P(x ≤ 33) = 0.0728177272
Answer: m=2.8
Step-by-step explanation:
You can reverse the equation and instead solve...
4-1.2 which equals 2.8.
<span>x = Joe's age and </span><span>y = James's age
</span><span>Joe is 10 years older than James - equation - x = y + 10
</span><span>In 8 years twice Joe's age will equal three times James's age - equation -
2(x+8) = 3(y+8)
</span>
<span>2(x+8) = 3(y+8) </span>
<span>2(y + 10 +8) = 3(y+8) { substitute y + 10 for x </span>
<span>2(y + 18) = 3(y + 8) </span>
<span>2y + 36 = 3y + 24 </span>
<span>12 = y </span>
<span>Joe is 22 and James is 12.</span>
