X= + or- square root 66 i solved using the pq formula but u can also use the quadratic formula as well and the square root formula but I'ma show u how to solve it with pq it's on this image hope it helps and mark me brainliest
Use elimination
Multiply first equation by 4
12a - 8b = 56
12a + 9b = 39
Subtract both
-17b = 17
b = -1
Plug in -1 for b
3a - 2(-1) = 14
3a = 12, a = 4
Final answer: a = 4, b = -1
Answer:
- p=0.7103 (4-game series)
- p=0.6480 (2-game series)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X be the random variable equal the the first 4 straight wins. An overall win for the stronger team implies a negative binomial function with the parameters n=4, p=0.6:

#We find probabilities for the different values of i:

Hence, probability of the stronger team winning overall is:

#Define Y as the random variable for winning 2/3 games.:

Hence, probability of the stronger team winning in 2 out 3 game series is 0.6480
The stronger team has a higher chance of winning in a 4-game series(0.7103>0.6480)
One way is factor
exg
if you wanted to find the square root of 36 you would factor
36=2 times 2 times 3 times 3
then group repeeting numbers then write only one of them
36=(2 times 2) times (3 times 3)
squareroot36=2 times 3=6
so factor 65
65=5 times 13
that doesn't help
next step
find squares close to that numbers
1^2=1
2^2=4
3^2=9
4^2=16
5^2=25
6^2=36
7^2=49
8^2=64
9^2=81
the answer is a little more than 8
the more exact one would be from a calculator (8.0622577482985)
