Answer:x²-2x-8

X²-2x=8

X²= -2x + (-1)² = 8 + (-1)²

X²= -2x + 1 = 8 + 1

X²= -2x + 1 = 9

(X-1)² = 9

√(x-1)² = √9

X-1 = ± 3

X= 1 + 3= 4

X= 1 - 3= -2

X= 4 or X= -2

V125BC [204]

Answer:

0.4745 is the probability that fewer than 8 of the selected adults wear glasses or contact lenses.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat adult adults wear glasses or contact lenses as a success.

P(Adults wear glasses or contact lenses) = 75% = 0.75

Then the number of adults follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

We have to evaluate:

P(fewer than 8 of the selected adults wear glasses or contact lenses)

P(x < 8)\\=1 - P(x = 8) - P(x = 9) - P(x = 10)\\=1 - \binom{10}{8}(0.75)^8(1-0.75)^2 - \binom{10}{9}(0.75)^9(1-0.75)^1- \binom{10}{10}(0.75)^10(1-0.75)^0\\=1 - 0.2815-0.1877-0.0563\\= 0.4745

0.4745 is the probability that fewer than 8 of the selected adults wear glasses or contact lenses.

Answer:

Option C. The time in seconds that passed before the printer started printing pages

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y ---->the number of pages printed.

x --->  the  time (in seconds) since she sent a print job to  the printer

we know that

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero

In the context of the problem

The x-intercept is the time in seconds that passed before the printer started printing pages (the number of pages printed is equal to zero)

Angelique had 20 tokens to use for games at the arcade. She lost some of them. Her dad tripled the tokens she had left. Angeliqu
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:  Both the expressions are exactly same . Both are representing the number of tokens she has now.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total number of tokens Angelique has= 20

Since, she lost some of them, let the number of lost tokens be t.

Then, The remaining  tokens she has = 20-t

Then her father triples the tokens she has.

now, the number of token she has=3(20-t)....>Angelique's expression

By using distributive property,

The number of token she has=3\times20-3t

⇒The number of token she has=60-3t...> Dante's expressions

Hence, both are the same expressions. Both are representing the number of tokens she has now.
