Answer:

Values for alpha and beta are 0.5 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 7x - 3 = 0

2x² - 7x - 3 = (2x - 1 )(x - 3)

∴ (2x - 1 )(x - 3) = 0

The only way to get zero by multiplying two values together, is if one of those values is qual to zero. Therefore, either (2x - 1 )=0, or (x - 3)=0.

If (2x - 1 )=0

∴2x=1

∴x=0.5

If (x - 3)=0

∴x=3

We have two values for x. These values represent alpha and beta.

<em>(BTW - I'm not sure from the phrasing of your question whether or not you just want to find the values or whether you want to find the sum of the values (I don't know if you used '+' to mean 'and' or 'plus'), but if you do want to find the sum, it's of course just 0.5+3= 3.5.)</em>

How are the greater than, less than, and equal to symbols useful?
Snowcat [4.5K]
They are called relation symbols
they tell how something relates to something else

greater than tells ou that the the result must be more than, but not eqal to that numberd so example, we have to have something that flys higher than that bridge (100ft) but it cannot fly 100 or else it will crash

less than tells you that you must be less than, but not euqal to. example
 this thing must be less than 7 feet tall to fit under the doorway, it cannot be 7 feet or else it wont fit

equal to is an exact amount, nothing more or less
we have to have a screw that is this big, nothing more or less



less and greater than is nice since if you found a solution and you wanted to notate it, example
if the naswer is any number less than 10, it would be nicer to write x<10 instead of listing all numbers less than 10 since they could get very close example 9.999999999 forever
greater is the same, any number bigger than 30, you woul dhave to include 30.0000000001 and smaller which is hard, but with the x>30, it is easier

the equals just shows equality, this is equal to this, period

Ilya [14]

The probabilty that he will score on two consecutive shots if the probability that his shot will score in a lacrosse game is 0.30 be 0.09.

Given that the probability that his shot will score in a lacrosse game is 0,30.

We are required to find the probability that he will score on two consecutive shots.

Probability is basically the calculation of likeliness of happening an event among all the events possible. It lies between 0 and 1.

Probability=Number of items/Total number of items.

Probabilty that he will score consecutively two times=Probability that he will hit one time*Probability that he will hit one time

=0.30*0.30

=0.09

Hence the probabilty that he will score on two consecutive shots if the probability that his shot will score in a lacrosse game is 0.30 be 0.09.
