Answer:
x = 2.5 or -0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are to use completing the square method to solve for the values of x
Firstly, we divide through by 4
= x^2 -7/4x -2 = 0
Now, we move the two term to the right hand side
x^2 -7/4x = 2
Now, we divide the coefficient of x by 2 and square it;
That would be;
(-7/4 * 1/2)^2 = 49/64
we now add this value to both sides of the equation
x^2 -7/4x + 49/64 = 2 + 49/64
The right hand side can be rewritten as;
(x-7/8)^2 = 177/64
taking the square root of both sides
x-7/8 = √(177/64)
x = 7/8 ± √(177/64)
x = 7/8 + √(177/74) or 7/8 - √(177/64)
= x = 2.53802 or -0.788017
Which to the nearest tenth is
x = 2.5 or -0.8
I divided 5 by 9 and multiplied it by 100 to get the percentage for the probability the horse will win. I got 55.55%. I subtracted 55.55 from 100 and got 44.45% chance of not winning the race.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
2x ≥ 4
Divide by 2
2x/2 ≥ 4/2
x ≥ 2
-x+7<-6
Subtract 7 from each side
-x+7-7<-6-7
-x < -13
Divide each side by -1, remembering to flip the inequality
x > 13
y>-x+3
This is a line with slope -1 and y intercept 3
This is a dotted line since there is no equals sign and graph above
I believe v is your coefficient and the degree is 7
