Answer: 22.222% or .2222

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 sides on a standard die. Two of the numbers (1&4) are perfect squares so the chances of getting a perfect square on the first roll is 2/6. There are 4 numbers less than 5 (1,2,3,4). The chances of rolling a number less than 5 on the second roll is 4/6. The probability of two events is equal to the product of those events or in this case 2/6 x 4/6 which is 8/36. Which reduces to 2/9. That’s 22.222% or .2222

Which equation has the solutions x=1+or-square root of 5?

stiv31 [10]

We will proceed to solve each case to determine the solution of the problem.

case a) $x^{2}+2x+4=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}+2x=-4$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}+2x+1=-4+1$

$x^{2}+2x+1=-3$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+1)^{2}=-3$

$(x+1)=(+/-)\sqrt{-3}\\(x+1)=(+/-)\sqrt{3}i\\x=-1(+/-)\sqrt{3}i$

therefore

case a) is not the solution of the problem

case b) $x^{2}-2x+4=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}-2x=-4$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}-2x+1=-4+1$

$x^{2}-2x+1=-3$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x-1)^{2}=-3$

$(x-1)=(+/-)\sqrt{-3}\\(x-1)=(+/-)\sqrt{3}i\\x=1(+/-)\sqrt{3}i$

therefore

case b) is not the solution of the problem

case c) $x^{2}+2x-4=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}+2x=4$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}+2x+1=4+1$

$x^{2}+2x+1=5$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+1)^{2}=5$

$(x+1)=(+/-)\sqrt{5}\\x=-1(+/-)\sqrt{5}$

therefore

case c) is not the solution of the problem

case d) $x^{2}-2x-4=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}-2x=4$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}-2x+1=4+1$

$x^{2}-2x+1=5$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x-1)^{2}=5$

$(x-1)=(+/-)\sqrt{5}\\x=1(+/-)\sqrt{5}$

therefore

case d) is the solution of the problem

therefore

the answer is

$x^{2}-2x-4=0$

Find the limit, if it exists. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)

Charra [1.4K]

Note that your function can be written as

$\begin{cases}\frac{2-(-x)}{2+x}&\text{if } x0\end{cases} = \begin{cases}\frac{2+x}{2+x}&\text{if } x0\end{cases} = \begin{cases}1&\text{if } x0\end{cases}$

So, if x is negative, your function is identically equal to 1. In particular, the limit as x approaches -2 will be 1 as well.
