What is a solution to (x 6)(x 2) = 60? x = −6 x = −4 x = 4 x = 12

2 answers:

6 0

(x+6)(x+2)=60
expand
x^2+6x+2x+12=60
x^2+8x+12=60
minus 60 both sides
x^2+8x-48=0
factor
what multiplies to -48 and adds to 8
-4 and 12
(x-4)(x+12)=0
set each to zero

x-4=0
x=4

x+12=0
x=-12

x=4 or -12

solutions are x=-12 and 4

The following exercise refers to choosing two cards from a thoroughly shuffled deck. Assume that the deck is shuffled after a ca

dem82 [27]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{663}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that from a well shuffled set of playing cards (52 in number) a card is drawn and without replacing it, next card is drawn.

A - the first card is 4

B - second card is ace

We have to find probability for

$A\bigcap B$

P(A) = no of 4s in the deck/total cards = $\frac{4}{52} =\frac{1}{13}$

After this first drawn if 4 is drawn, we have remaining 51 cards with 4 aces in it

P(B) = no of Aces in 51 cards/51 = $\frac{4}{51}$

Hence

$P(A\bigcap B) = \frac{1}{13} *\frac{4}{51} \\=\frac{4}{663}$

(Here we see that A and B are independent once we adjust the number of cards. Also for both we multiply the probabilities)

In the year 2000, the population of a city was 600,000 citizens. The population increases at a rate of 1.8% per year.

Alona [7]

Y=600000(1+1.8%)^(x-2000)
So the population in 2012
Y=600,000×(1+0.018)^(2,012−2,000)
Y=743,232
