What two numbers multiply to -24 and add to -11

White raven [17]4 years ago

Let x and y be the two numbers.

We have x+y=-11 (because their sum is -11)
⇒ x= -11-y.

On the other hand, we also have x*y= -24 (because their product is -24)
⇒ (-11-y)*y= -24
⇒ -y^2 -11y= -24
⇒ y^2+ 11y -24= 0
⇒ ...
⇒ y= (-11-sqrt(217))/2 or y= (-11+sqrt(217))/2

x= (-11+sqrt(217))/2 or x= (-11-sqrt(217))/2 .

Conclusion: the two numbers are (-11+sqrt(217))/2 and (-11-sqrt(217))/2~

For the spinner above, the probability of landing on black is 1/2, and the probability of landing on red is 1/3. Suppose it is s
saul85 [17]

Answer:

d) The probability spinner will land on black all three times is 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of landing on black = 1/2

The probability of landing on red    =  1/3.

Now, if the spinner is spun 3 times.

The probability  it will land on black all three times  

= \textrm{ (The probability of landing on black)}^3

= \frac{1}{2}   \times  \frac{1}{2}  \times  \frac{1}{2}  = \frac{1}{2 \times 2 \times 2 } = \frac{1}{8}

Hence, the probability spinner will land on black all three times is 1/8.

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

1. 5 hours

2. 4 hours

Reason:

Formula for speed is speed = \frac{distance}{time} , if you want to find time, then take distance / speed, which will equal to 100 / 20 = 5 hours, and the same with 2.
