Solve for x in the equation x squared + 20 x + 100 = 36

x = - 16, x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 20x + 100 = 36 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

x² + 20x + 64 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 64) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 20)

The factors are 16 and 4, since

16 × 4 = 64 and 16 + 4 = 20, thus

(x + 16)(x + 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 16 = 0 ⇒ x = - 16

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

answer:

(-8,7)

explanation:

we know that  

f

(

−

)

=

7

therefore, if we wish to get the output as 7, in the function, we need to have our input to be -3.

looking at the function  

f

(

x

+

5

)

, what should the value of x be, such that the input in the function becomes 7?

we simply equate the terms,

x

=

x

=

thus, the point on the new function would be

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560
