The answer is x= 9 and -3
You must fine 2 number that multiply to equal -27 and add to equal -6
(x-9) (x+3)
Then equal the parts of the binomial to zero
x - 9 = 0
x + 3 = 0
You must get x by its self.
When you do so, you'll have the answer as -3 and 9
• The value of the discriminant ,D= -16
,
• The solution to the quadratic equation is

Step - by - Step Explanation
What to find?
• The discriminant d= b² - 4ac
,
• The solution to the quadratic equation.
Given:
5x² - 2x + 1=0
Comparing the given equation with the general form of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c=0
a=5 b=-2 and c=1
Uisng the quadratic formula to solve;
![x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D%5Cfrac%7B-b%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bb%5E2-4ac%7D%7D%7B2a%7D)
The discriminant D=b² - 4ac
Substitute the values into the discriminant formula and simplify.
D = (-2)² - 4(5)(1)
D = 4 - 20
D = -16
We can now proceed to find the solution of the quadratic equation by substituting into the quadratic formula;
![x=\frac{-(-2)\pm\sqrt[]{-16}}{2(5)}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D%5Cfrac%7B-%28-2%29%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B-16%7D%7D%7B2%285%29%7D)
Note that:
√-1 = i
![x=\frac{2\pm\sqrt[]{16\times-1}}{10}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D%5Cfrac%7B2%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B16%5Ctimes-1%7D%7D%7B10%7D)
![x=\frac{2\pm\sqrt[]{16}\times\sqrt[]{-1}}{10}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D%5Cfrac%7B2%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B16%7D%5Ctimes%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B-1%7D%7D%7B10%7D)




That is;
Answer:
The probability of NOT hitting a boundary is (4/5).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let E: Be the event of hitting a boundary
now, Probability of any event E = 
Here, number of favorable outcomes = 6
So, P(E) = 
⇒Probability of hitting a six is 1/5
Now, P(E) + P(not E) = 1
So, P(not hitting a boundary ) = 1 - P(hitting a boundary)
= 1 - (1/5) = 4/5
Hence, the probability of NOT hitting a boundary is (4/5).
Multiply 3 by 2 and you get six I think
