Answer:

12 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to get the roots of the equation is to factorize the equation but when the factors are not possible then we should apply the quadratic equations formula to get the value of x.

Now we will try to factorize

x² - 8x -48 = 0

Now we multiply coefficient of highest degree term and constant term

48×1 = 48 which may be factored in 12×4. 8×6, 24×2.

Now we will choose 12×4 out of three because the 12-4 = 8 which is the coefficient of x.

Now its simple.

x²-12x + 4x -48 = 0

x(x -12) + 4(x-12) = 0

(x +4)(x-12) = 0

Therefore roots are x + 4 = 0

x = -4

and x - 12 = 0

x = 12

So the answer is 12.

Answer:

12 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given an equation.

x²-8x-48 = 0

We have given one root of equation. We have to find the other root of equation.

We use method of factoring to solve this.

Splitting the middle term, we have

x²-12x+4x-48 = 0

Making groups, we have

x(x-12)+4(x-12) = 0

Taking (x-12) common, we have

(x-12)(x+4) = 0

Applying Zero-Product Property, we have

x-12 = 0 or x+4 = 0

x = 12 or x = -4.

Hence, the roots of the given equation are -4 and 12.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

8 teams

5 girls and 4 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many teams we can have , we need to determine the greatest common factor.

girls:40 = 5*8

boys:32 = 4*8

The greatest common factor is 8

So we will have 8 teams

There will be 5 girls and 4 boys on each team

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

SP = Quadrant 3 FP = Quadrant 4

Step-by-step explanation:

sp = (−5.4, 3) fp (3, −5.4) this means the line is decreasing as point y coordinate changes fro 3 to 5.4 and will be a negative slope gradient- The quadrants at top left to right are 3 and 1 and bottom left to right is 2 and 4 Labels are Quadrant 3 = R Quadrant 1 = P Quadrant 2 = Q Quadrant 4 = S The starting point is Left top side as y is positive and can only be 3 or 1 and x is negative SP = Quadrant 3 The finishing point is bottom quadrants as y is negative this time and x is positive FP = Quadrant 4 You can remember that it is often start of origin then quadrant 1 in straight line positive colorations

Suppose that the number of drivers who travel between a particular origin and destination during a designated time period has a

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

a) P(k≤11) = 0.021

b) P(k>23) = 0.213

c) P(11≤k≤23) = 0.777

P(11<k<23) = 0.699

d) P(15<k<25)=0.687

Step-by-step explanation:

a) What is the probability that the number of drivers will be at most 11?

We have to calculate P(k≤11)

$P(k\leq11)=\sum_0^{11} P(k$

$P(k=0) = 20^0e^{-20}/0!=1 \cdot 0.00000000206/1=0\\\\P(k=1) = 20^1e^{-20}/1!=20 \cdot 0.00000000206/1=0\\\\P(k=2) = 20^2e^{-20}/2!=400 \cdot 0.00000000206/2=0\\\\P(k=3) = 20^3e^{-20}/3!=8000 \cdot 0.00000000206/6=0\\\\P(k=4) = 20^4e^{-20}/4!=160000 \cdot 0.00000000206/24=0\\\\P(k=5) = 20^5e^{-20}/5!=3200000 \cdot 0.00000000206/120=0\\\\P(k=6) = 20^6e^{-20}/6!=64000000 \cdot 0.00000000206/720=0\\\\P(k=7) = 20^7e^{-20}/7!=1280000000 \cdot 0.00000000206/5040=0.001\\\\$

$P(k=8) = 20^8e^{-20}/8!=25600000000 \cdot 0.00000000206/40320=0.001\\\\P(k=9) = 20^9e^{-20}/9!=512000000000 \cdot 0.00000000206/362880=0.003\\\\P(k=10) = 20^{10}e^{-20}/10!=10240000000000 \cdot 0.00000000206/3628800=0.006\\\\P(k=11) = 20^{11}e^{-20}/11!=204800000000000 \cdot 0.00000000206/39916800=0.011\\\\$

$P(k\leq11)=\sum_0^{11} P(k$

b) What is the probability that the number of drivers will exceed 23?

We can write this as:

$P(k>23)=1-\sum_0^{23} P(k=x_i)=1-(P(k\leq11)+\sum_{12}^{23} P(k=x_i))$

$P(k=12) = 20^{12}e^{-20}/12!=8442485.238/479001600=0.018\\\\P(k=13) = 20^{13}e^{-20}/13!=168849704.75/6227020800=0.027\\\\P(k=14) = 20^{14}e^{-20}/14!=3376994095.003/87178291200=0.039\\\\P(k=15) = 20^{15}e^{-20}/15!=67539881900.067/1307674368000=0.052\\\\P(k=16) = 20^{16}e^{-20}/16!=1350797638001.33/20922789888000=0.065\\\\P(k=17) = 20^{17}e^{-20}/17!=27015952760026.7/355687428096000=0.076\\\\P(k=18) = 20^{18}e^{-20}/18!=540319055200533/6402373705728000=0.084\\\\$

$P(k=19) = 20^{19}e^{-20}/19!=10806381104010700/121645100408832000=0.089\\\\P(k=20) = 20^{20}e^{-20}/20!=216127622080213000/2432902008176640000=0.089\\\\P(k=21) = 20^{21}e^{-20}/21!=4322552441604270000/51090942171709400000=0.085\\\\P(k=22) = 20^{22}e^{-20}/22!=86451048832085300000/1.12400072777761E+21=0.077\\\\P(k=23) = 20^{23}e^{-20}/23!=1.72902097664171E+21/2.5852016738885E+22=0.067\\\\$

$P(k>23)=1-\sum_0^{23} P(k=x_i)=1-(P(k\leq11)+\sum_{12}^{23} P(k=x_i))\\\\P(k>23)=1-(0.021+0.766)=1-0.787=0.213$

c) What is the probability that the number of drivers will be between 11 and 23, inclusive? What is the probability that the number of drivers will be strictly between 11 and 23?

Between 11 and 23 inclusive:

$P(11\leq k\leq23)=P(x\leq23)-P(k\leq11)+P(k=11)\\\\P(11\leq k\leq23)=0.787-0.021+ 0.011=0.777$

Between 11 and 23 exclusive:

$P(11< k$

d) What is the probability that the number of drivers will be within 2 standard deviations of the mean value?

The standard deviation is

$\mu=\lambda =20\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{\lambda}=\sqrt{20}= 4.47$

Then, we have to calculate the probability of between 15 and 25 drivers approximately.

$P(15$

$P(k=16) = 20^{16}e^{-20}/16!=0.065\\\\P(k=17) = 20^{17}e^{-20}/17!=0.076\\\\P(k=18) = 20^{18}e^{-20}/18!=0.084\\\\P(k=19) = 20^{19}e^{-20}/19!=0.089\\\\P(k=20) = 20^{20}e^{-20}/20!=0.089\\\\P(k=21) = 20^{21}e^{-20}/21!=0.085\\\\P(k=22) = 20^{22}e^{-20}/22!=0.077\\\\P(k=23) = 20^{23}e^{-20}/23!=0.067\\\\P(k=24) = 20^{24}e^{-20}/24!=0.056\\\\$
