x² - 4x = 12

x² - 4x - 12 = 0

x² + (2x - 6x) - 12 = 0

x² + 2x - 6x - 12 = 0

x (x + 2) - 6 (x + 2) = 0

(x - 6) (x + 2) = 0

Then the solutions are x = 6 or x = -2.

Jeff was already 7 miles out of town when his sister
Nikolay [14]

The sister catches up Jeff after 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write Jeff's position and his sister position at time t using the following expressions:

- Jeff position:

x_j(t) = 7 + 2.5 t

where:

7 is the initial position of Jeff when his sister sarts chasing him

2.5 is Jeff's velocity (in miles/hour), so its position increases by 2.5 miles for each hour

t is the time measured in hours

- Sister position:

x_s(t) = 6t

where

6 is the sister velocity (her position increases by 6 miles for every hour)

t is the time measured in hours

The sister catches up Jeff when the two positions are equal, so

x_j(t) = x_s(t)\\7+2.5t=6t

And solving for t,

7+2.5t-2.5t=6t-2.5t\\7=3.5t\\t=\frac{7}{3.5}=2 h

So, the sister catches Jeff after 2 hours.

Box of 15 gadgets is known to contain 5 defective gadgets if 4 gadgets are drawn at random what is the probability of finding no
baherus [9]

To solve this problem, we make use of the Binomial Probability equation which is mathematically expressed as:

P = [n! / r! (n – r)!] p^r * q^(n – r)

where,

n = the total number of gadgets = 4

r = number of samples = 1 and 2 (since not more than 2)

p = probability of success of getting a defective gadget

q = probability of failure = 1 – p

 

Calculating for p:

p = 5 / 15 = 0.33

So,

q = 1 – 0.33 = 0.67

 

Calculating for P when r = 1:

P (r = 1) = [4! / 1! 3!] 0.33^1 * 0.67^3

P (r = 1) = 0.3970

 

 

Calculating for P when r = 2:

P (r = 2) = [4! / 2! 2!] 0.33^2 * 0.67^2

P (r = 2) = 0.2933

 

Therefore the total probability of not getting more than 2 defective gadgets is:

P = 0.3970 + 0.2933

P = 0.6903

 

Hence there is a 0.6903 chance or 69.03% probability of not getting more than 2 defective gadgets.

Find the measure of an angle whose measure is 60 degrees more than the measure of its complement
Natasha2012 [34]
Two complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. Hence, the problem can be set up and solved. Let x represents one angle and 5x represent the angle that is 5 times greater:x + 5x = 90 (simplify)6x = 90 (next divide both sides by 6 to find the value of x [the smaller angle])x = 15 (this is the smaller angle, next subtract 15 from 90 to find the greater angle)90 - 15 = 75 (this is the greater angle which is 5 times that of its complement) <span>90 take away 73...</span>
