Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'x' = number

x³ - x² = 2x

x³- x² - 2x = 0

x(x² - x - 2) = 0

x(x - 2)(x + 1) = 0

x = -1, 0, 2

the only positive solution is the number 2

What is the slope of (-4,6) and (2,-5)
Dominik [7]

Answer:

-11/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope can be found with this equation:

(y₁ - y₂) / (x₁ - x₂)

What this essentially tells us to do is to put one set of the x and y coordinates into x₁ and y₁, respectfully. Then, put the other set of x and y points as x₂ and y₂.

With this scenerio, we can substitute the given points into the formula.

(6 - (-5)) / (-4 - 2) =

(6 + 5 ) / (-6) =

11 / (-6) =

-11/6

The slope is  - 11/6

For a normal distribution,
Anni [7]

Answer:

1.282, -0.5244,...

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Z is a standard normal variate with mean =0, and std dev =1

a) z-score separates the highest 10% from the rest of the scores

= 90th percentile = 1.282

b) z-score separates the lowest 30% from the rest of the scores

= 30th percentile = -0.5244

c) z-score separates the lowest 40% from the rest of the scores

= 40th percentile = -0.2533

d) z-score separates the lowest 20% from the rest of the score

=20th percentile = -0.8416

A pencil holder contains only six blue pencils and three red pencils. If two pencils are drawn at random, what is the probabilit
erastova [34]
6 blue pencils and 3 red pencils means 9 total pencils. So the probability of pulling out ONE blue pencil would be 6/9 or about 67 percent. TWO blue pencils would be HALF of that. So 6/9 * 1/2 which is 6/18 or 1/3 or about 33 percent.
