Simplifying this, we get:
(x+4)(x-4) = 0
Now, to get 0, we can replace x for one of these things to make 0, so:
x can either be 4, or -4
Answer:
equivalent = 30w 30(w) 30*w
the rest are non equivalent
Answer:
- P(≥1 working) = 0.9936
- She raises her odds of completing the exam without failure by a factor of 13.5, from 11.5 : 1 to 155.25 : 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Assuming the failure is in the calculator, not the operator, and the failures are independent, the probability of finishing with at least one working calculator is the complement of the probability that both will fail. That is ...
... P(≥1 working) = 1 - P(both fail) = 1 - P(fail)² = 1 - (1 - 0.92)² = 0.9936
2. The odds in favor of finishing an exam starting with only one calculator are 0.92 : 0.08 = 11.5 : 1.
If two calculators are brought to the exam, the odds in favor of at least one working calculator are 0.9936 : 0.0064 = 155.25 : 1.
This odds ratio is 155.25/11.5 = 13.5 times as good as the odds with only one calculator.

My assessment is that there is significant gain from bringing a backup. (Personally, I might investigate why the probability of failure is so high. I have not had such bad luck with calculators, which makes me wonder if operator error is involved.)
Heya !
Using a theoram about triangles ,
Given a triangle ∆ABC, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of the triangle is greater than the length of the third side ,
Also , the length of third side always greater than absolute difference of the other two sides ,
Let the third side be x ,
So , x < 9 + 8 and x > 9 - 8
x < 17 and x > 1
Hence , x ∈ [ 2 , 17 ] inch.
Above case is true for any triangle , be it scalene , Isosceles , Right-angled ...
As , for Isosceles , the third side can be 8 or 9 inches ,
For scalene , all values in the above range satusfies ,
For right angled triangle , we have 2 cases ,
Case 1 : Third side is the hypotenuse
Then , x = √(9²+8²) = √145 = 12.0415 inch.
Case 2 : Third side is not the hypotenuse
Then , x = √(9²-8²) = √17 = 4.1231 inch.
Hope it helps you ! :)
