Solve. (x-4)²=5 PLEASE HELP

Mathematics
1 answer:
goldenfox [79]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-4)^2=5

(x-4)(x-4)=5

x(x-4)-4(x-4)=5

distribute

x^2-4x-4x+16=5

combine like terms

x^2-8x+16=5

move terms to the left and combine

x^2-8x+11=0

use the quadratic formula and simplify

x=-(-8)+/-2 to the square roots of 5 over 2

separate and solve

x=4+ square root of 5

x=4- square root of 5

ANSWER: x=4+/- square root of 5

What is the equation of a vertical line through the point (3, 2)?
dsp73

Answer:

If you consider what the slope looks like for a vertical line, it is an infinite slope. What that means is that you cannot have a y-value in your equation:

x = 3

This x-value would be a vertical line that passes through all y-values for x = 3. So you can replace them in (3, y) with any value, and it will be included in the linear equation x = 3.

Box A has 14 black pens and 6 blue pens box B has 9 black pens and 3 blue pens a pen is randomly chosen from each box list these
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The list of these events from least likely to most likely is Blue-Blue -> Black-Blue -> Blue-Black -> Black-Black

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Possible outcomes:

Black - Black

Black - Blue

Blue - Black

Blue - Blue

Probability of each outcome:

Black-Black:

14 out of 20, and then 9 out of 12. So

P_{BkBk} = \frac{14}{20} \times {9}{12} = \frac{14*9}{20*12} = \frac{126}{240}

Black-Blue:

14 out of 20, then 3 out of 12. So

P_{BkBl} = \frac{14}{20} \times {3}{12} = \frac{14*3}{20*12} = \frac{42}{240}

Less likely than black-black.

Blue - Black:

6 out of 20, then 9 out of 12. SO

P_{BlBk} = \frac{6}{20} \times {9}{12} = \frac{6*9}{20*12} = \frac{54}{240}

More likely than black-blue, less likely than black-black.

Blue - Blue

6 out of 20, then 3 out of 12

P_{BlBl} = \frac{6}{20} \times {3}{12} = \frac{6*3}{20*12} = \frac{18}{240}

Least likely of the outcomes.

List these events from least likely to most likely:

The list of these events from least likely to most likely is Blue-Blue -> Black-Blue -> Blue-Black -> Black-Black
