Rewriting the equation as a quadratic equation equal to zero:
x^2 - x - 30 = 0
We need two numbers whose sum is -1 and whose product is -30. In this case, it would have to be 5 and -6. Therefore we can also write our equation in the factored form
(x + 5)(x - 6) = 0
Now we have a product of two expressions that is equal to zero, which means any x value that makes either (x + 5) or (x - 6) zero will make their product zero.
x + 5 = 0 => x = -5
x - 6 = 0 => x = 6
Therefore, our solutions are x = -5 and x = 6.

In tossing four fair dice, what is the probability of tossing, at most, one 3

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

<u>Answer- </u>

In tossing four fair dice, the probability of getting at most one 3 is 0.86.

<u>Solution-</u>

The probability of getting at most one 3 is, either getting zero 3 or only one 3.

$P(A) =The \ probability \ of \ getting \ zero \ 3 =(\frac{5}{6})(\frac{5}{6})(\frac{5}{6})(\frac{5}{6})=\frac{625}{1296} =0.48$ ( ∵ xxxx )

$P(B) = The \ probability \ of \ getting \ only \ one \ 3 =(4)(\frac{1}{6})(\frac{5}{6})(\frac{5}{6})(\frac{5}{6}) = 0.38$ ( ∵ 3xxx, x3xx, xx3x, xxx3 )

P(Atmost one 3) = P(A) + P(B) = 0.48 + 0.38 = 0.86

What is the surface area of the square pyramid?

wel

Ok to start you need to break this into a net in your head. Next, calculate each triangle
(6*7)/2 = 21
Then, multiply each triangle by the amount of them.
21*4 = 84
Next, get the area of the square.
7*7 = 49
Lastly, add the triangles and the square up.
49 + 84 = 133
