Answer:

$1.+4,-4\\2. +9,-9\\3. +10,-10\\4. +12, -12\\5. +5, -5$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution for quadratic equations, focus on extracting the square root of the constant term:

$x^{2} =16\\x=\sqrt{16}\\ x= +4, -4$

$t^{2} =16\\t=\sqrt{81}\\ x= +9, -9$

$r^{2} =100\\r=\sqrt{100}\\ x= +10, -10$

$x^{2} -144=0\\x=\sqrt{144}\\ x= +12, -12$

$2s^{2}=50\\s^{2}=\frac{50}{2} \\s=\sqrt{25}\\ s= +5, -5$

Keep in mind, every square root yields both positive and negative values as answers.

Answer:

1. x=±4

2. t=±9

3. r=±10

4. x=±12

5. s=±5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x^2 = 16

By extracting the square root on both sides

$\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{16}\\\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{(4)^2}\\$

x=±4

2. t^2=81

Again, take the square root of each side

$\sqrt{t^2}=\sqrt{81}\\\sqrt{t^2}=\sqrt{(9)^2}$

t=±9

3. r^2-100=0

$r^{2}-100=0\\r^2 =100\\Taking\ Square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{100}\\\sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{(10)^2}$

r=±10

4. x²-144=0

We rewrite as x²=144

Applying square roots

$\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{144}\\\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{(12)^2}$

x=±12

5. 2s²=50

$\frac{2s^2}{2} =\frac{50}{2}\\s^2=25\\Taking\ Square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{s^2}=\sqrt{25}\\\sqrt{s^2}=\sqrt{(5)^2}$

s=±5 ..

Data from 14 cities were combined for a 20-year period, and the total 280 city-years included a total of 107 homicides. After

zzz [12365]

Answer:

P(0) = 0.6825

P(1) = 0.2607

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the provided data, there were 107 homicide incidents and a total of 280 city-years recorded.

Let us denote the variable representing homicides per city-year as X.

The mean value of X can be calculated with the following formula:

\begin{array}{c}\\{\rm{Mean}} = \frac{{107}}{{280}}\\\\ = 0.382\\\end{array}

Mean= 107/280 = 0.382

The average number of homicides per city-year \left( {\lambda = \mu } \right)(λ=μ) is 0.382.

a. To find the probability of no homicides occurring:

\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {X = 0} \right) = \frac{{{e^{ -0.382}}{{\left( {0.382} \right)}^0}}}{{0!}}\\\\ = \frac{{\left( {0.6825 \right)\left( {\rm{1}} \right)}}{1}\\\\ = 0.6825\\\end{array}

P(X=0) = e −0.382 (0.382)⁰/1

= (0.6825)(1) /1

P(X=0) = 0.6825

Thus, the chance of experiencing zero homicides P(0) is 0.6825.

b. To determine the probability of one homicide occurring:

\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {X = 1} \right) = \frac{{{e^{ -0.382}}{{\left( {0.382} \right)}^1}}}{{1!}}\\\\ = \frac{{\left( {0.6825 \right)\left( {0.382} \right)}}{1}\\\\ = 0.2607\\\end{array}

P(X=1) = e −0.382 (0.382)¹/1

= (0.6825)(0.382)/1

P(X=1) = 0.2607

Thus, the probability of having one homicide P(1) is 0.2607.
