X²- 12x + a = (x-b)² Find the Value of a and value of b ​

Mathematics
1 answer:
maxonik [38]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a = 36 , b = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

expand the right side using FOIL and compare coefficients with like terms on left side.

(x - b)²

= x² - 2bx + b² , compare to x² - 12x + a , then

- 2b = - 12 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

b = 6

and a = b² = 6² = 36

Maggie bought 3 dozen muffins from a baker for $48. Find the costs of 1 dozen muffins and 9 dozen muffins.
Gennadij [26K]
We will say that d = 1 dozen. and y = cost

we know that 3 dozen is 48. so
3d = 48.

to get the cost of 1d, we have to get the 3 to change into a 1. the only way to do this is to divide 3 by 3. if we divided the left side by 3 we must also do the right so:
3d = 48
1d = 16

so 1 dozen = 16

to change 3d into 9d we have to multiply by 3. we again have to do this to both sides. so:
3d = 48
9d = 144

if there are 170 students in 12th grade, what percentage of the twelfth grade students have more than one college in mind
Varvara68 [4.7K]
The answer is 31 because the ones that have two colleges is 27 and the ones  that have three colleges or more is 23. And if there is 170students you would add the 23+27=53 and divide that by 170.
53/170=31

In a certain community, 36 percent of the families own a dog and 22 percent of the families that own a dog also own a cat. In ad
zysi [14]

Answer:  a) 0.0792   b) 0.264

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Event D = Families own a dog .

Event C = families own a cat .

Given : Probability that families own a dog : P(D)=0.36

Probability that families own a dog also own a cat : P(C|D)=0.22

Probability that families own a cat : P(C)= 0.30

a) Formula to find conditional probability :

P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}\\\\\Rightarrow P(A\cap B)=P(B|A)\times P(A)   (1)

Similarly ,

P(C\cap D)=P(C|D)\times P(D)\\\\=0.22\times0.36=0.0792

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected family owns both a dog and a cat : 0.0792

b) Again, using (2)

P(D|C)=\dfrac{P(C\cap D)}{P(C)}\\\\=\dfrac{0.0792}{0.30}=0.264

Hence, the conditional probability that a randomly selected family owns a dog given that it owns a cat = 0.264

From the top of a tower, an object which is 97 m away from the base of the tower, is at a 37° angle of depression.
mario62 [17]
<h3>Answer:  73</h3>

==================================================

Work Shown:

Check out the diagram below. Note the pair of alternate interior angles that are congruent (each 37 degrees). Then focus on triangle ABC. With the reference angle being at A, this means we use the tangent function because BC = x is the opposite side and AB = 97 is the adjacent side.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(A) = BC/AB

tan(37) = x/97

97*tan(37) = x

x = 97*tan(37)

x = 73.094742859971

For the last step, you'll need a calculator that can handle trig functions. Make sure the calculator is in degree mode. The result here is approximate. This rounds to 73 when rounding to the nearest whole number.
