=x^2-8x+16-16
= (x-4) ^2-16
=[(x-4) -4][(x-4) +4]
=(x-8) x
We have by the intermediate value theorem that if a continuous function takes values both above and below zero at 2 points, there is a zero of the function in-between. We have that polynomials are continues. Let's calculate f(-6) and f(-5). f(-6)=-36 while f(-5)=-1. Thus, we cannot conclude that there is a root between them.
F(-2)=8, f(-1)=-1, so there is a flip; a zero must exist between them.
F(1)=-1, f(2)=20, so again there is a change of signs.
f(-5)=-1, f(-4)=14 so there is a root still.
We have that the only choice that does not have a root between the integers is choice a.
Answer:
D. 2/7
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume that the intention is that one of the places is chosen at random from the list of 7 places.
2 of those are cities in North America, so the probability that a place randomly chosen from this list is a city in North America is ...
P(A & B) = 2/7
Answer:
The second choice.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/5 = 20%
2/5 = 40%
3/4 = 75%
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Anna has a flush, this means that the three shared cards and the 2 cards with Anna has the same suit, therefore given this condition the probability that Brad also has a flush is computed here as:
= Probability that Brad has the same suit cards as those shared cards and Anna
= Probability that Brad selected 2 cards from the 8 cards remaining of that suit
= Number of ways to select 2 cards from the 8 cards of that same suit / Total ways to select 2 cards from the remaining 47 cards
= 0.0259
Therefore 0.0259 is the required probability here.
the little calculation is shown in the picture attached
