Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2-4x=-4$

$x^2-4x+4=-4+4$ (Add 4 to both sides)

$x^2-4x+4=0$

Now, we can solve it using quadratic formula

$x_{1,\:2}=\cfrac{-\left(-4\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-4\right)^2-4* \:1* \:4}}{2* \:1}$

$x_{1,\:2}=\cfrac{-\left(-4\right)\pm \sqrt{0}}{2* \:1}$

$x=\cfrac{-\left(-4\right)}{2* \:1}$

$x=2$

Add 4 to both sides of the equation.
x^2+4x+ 4 =0

4±√4^2−4⋅(1⋅4)

2⋅1

When doing blood testing for a viral infection, the procedure can be made more efficient and less expensive by combining partial

Verdich [7]

Answer: 0.271

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of complement of an even is 1 decreased by the probability of the event

P(At least one) =1 - P(none)

The probability that of testing negative is 0.9 because the probability of testing positive is 0.1

P( at least one) = 1 - P(none) = 1 - (0.93^3) = 0.271

A mini-lottery involves selecting 2 numbers between 1 and 10. What is the probability of correctly picking the two numbers?

Igoryamba

The probability of correctly picking the two numbers is 2/10.

<h3>What is the probability?</h3>

Probability determines the chances that an event would happen. The probability the event occurs is 1 and the probability that the event does not occur is 0.

The more likely the event is to happen, the closer the probability value would be to 1. The less likely it is for the event not to happen, the closer the probability value would be to zero.

The probability of correctly picking the two numbers = (numbers that have to be selected to win / total numbers)

2/10

Jacki plans to pay for the down payment of a new car with her credit card. The annual interest rate for her credit card is 17%.

very interesting

the equation we are given is for when the units of t are in years

I do know that you want to have the variable as time, but I'm not sure if you want it in years or months

I will solve for in months because that makes more sense

in that case, it will be 2250(1+r)^m where r=monthly interest rate and m=time in months

to compare, we can do

when 1 year has elapsed, t=1 and m=12

and the amount earned should be the same

so therfor we can say

$2250(1.17)^1=2250(1+r)^{12}$

divide both sides by 2250 to make it easier

$1.17^1=(1+r)^{12}$

$1.17=(1+r)^{12}$

take 12th root of both sides

$\sqrt[12]{1.17}=1+r$

minus 1 both sides

$-1+\sqrt[12]{1.17}=r$

using a calculator

-1+1.01316961=r

<span>not sure if yu want percent to thousandth or decimal to thousandth</span>

<span>if decimal then 0.013 is interest rate</span>

<span>if percent then it is 1.317% interest rate</span>
