The square of a number decreased by 3 times the number 28 find all possible values for the number

stealth61 [152]

Question:

The square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28 find all possible values for the number

Answer:

The possible values of number are 7 and -4

Solution:

Given that the square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28

To find: all possible values of number

Let "a" be the unknown number

From given information,

square of a number decreased by 3 times the number = 28

$a^2 - 3a = 28$

$a^2 - 3a - 28 = 0$

Let us solve the above quadratic equation

$\text {For a quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0, \text { where } a \neq 0$

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Using the above formula,

$\text { For } a^{2}-3 a-28=0 \text { we have } a=1, b=-3, c=-28$

$\begin{aligned}&a=\frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^{2}-4(1)(-28)}}{2 \times 1}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9+112}}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{121}}{2}=\frac{3 \pm 11}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3+11}{2} \text { or } a=\frac{3-11}{2}\\\\&a=7 \text { or } a=-4\end{aligned}$

Thus the possible values of number are 7 and -4

Sherry is driving 390 miles to visit The gateway arch in St. Louis. She drives at an average rate of 65 miles per hour. Explain

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

t = 6 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Sherry is driving 390 miles to visit The gateway arch in St. Louis.

She drives at an average rate of 65 miles per hour.

We need to find the amount of time it will take Sherry to get to the arch. Let the time is t.

Speed = distance/time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{390}{65}\\\\t=6\ h$

Hence, it will take 6 hours to get to the arch.

If A and B are independent events with P(A) = .5 and P(B) = .2, find the following:a) P(A U B)b) P(A^c ? B^c)c) P(A^c U B^c)**No

Effectus [21]

If A and B are independent, then $P(A\cap B)=P(A)P(B)$ .

a.

$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A)P(B)$

$P(A\cup B)=0.5+0.2-0.5\cdot0.2$

$\boxed{P(A\cup B)=0.6}$

b. I'm guessing the ? is supposed to stand for intersection. We can use DeMorgan's law for complements here:

$P(A^c\cap B^c)=P(A\cup B)^c=1-P(A\cup B)$

$P(A^c\cap B^c)=1-0.6$

$\boxed{P(A^c\cap B^c)=0.4}$

c. DeMorgan's law can be used here too:

$P(A^c\cup B^c)=P(A\cap B)^c=1-P(A\cap B)=1-P(A)P(B)$

$P(A^c\cup B^c)=1-0.5\cdot0.2$

$\boxed{P(A^c\cup B^c)=0.9}$
