The root sof this quadratic equation are -4 and 2.5.
The roots of any quadratic can be found by using the quadratic equation. The equation is below for you.
In this equation you use the number attached to x^2 as the a, which in this case is -2. The number attached to x as b, which is in this case -3. And the number at the end as c, which is 20. From there you solve for the answers.
Now you separate and get the two separate answers. First the positive.
4
Now the negative
-2.5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting from the top, the ant can only take four different directions, all of them going down, every direction has a probability of 1/4. For the second step, regardless of what direction the ant walked, it has 4 directions: going back (or up), to the sides (left or right) and down. If the probability of the first step is 1/4 for each direction and once the ant has moved one step, there are 4 directions with the same probability (1/4 again), the probability of taking a specific path is the multiplication of the probability of these two steps:
There are only 4 roads that can take the ant to the bottom in 2 steps, each road with a probability of 1/16, adding the probability of these 4 roads:
The probability of the ant ending up at the bottom is or 0.25.
