Solve 5x2 - 7x+2 -0 by completing the square. What are the solutions?

I read this as -5e⁻⁴ˣ⁺²+3=½log₁₀(x²+1).

If this is not right the steps below can guide you to a possible solution when the correct formula is used.

My calculator is a Casio fx-85GT PLUS which has a function facility (MODE 3: TABLE).

I input the function: -5e⁻⁴ˣ⁺²+3-½log₁₀(x²+1). I assumed that log was log to base 10 rather than natural log ln.

The facility asks me to input a start value, end value and step value. I chose -10, 10 and 1 initially.

After a few seconds of evaluating a table of results the calculator showed me the results of plugging in x=-10 up to 10 in steps of 1.

The results showed the evaluation for each of the 21 values and I looked for the sign of the result to change.

For x=0 the result was -33.95 approx and for x=1 it was 2.1728 approx. So between 0 and 1 there is a zero, a solution for x.

I returned to the function and changed the parameters to start=0, end=1, step=0.1 to begin the next evaluation.

This time the sign change occurred between x=0.6 and 0.7.

I returned to the function with parameters: start=0.6, end=0.7, step=0.01.

The sign change occurred between 0.63 and 0.64, the start and end parameters with step=0.001 for the next iteration.

The solution is between 0.633 and 0.634.

Repeat the process one more time with step=0.0001. The sign change was between 0.6338 and 0.6339 so the solution to three dec places is 0.634.

step-by-step explanation:

a cube has 6 sides

the probability of getting 5 on the first cube is 1/6 since only one side of the cube has 5 on it.

there are 3 sides of the cube with even number on it [2,4,6]

therefore the probability of getting even number is 3/6

for both events to happen together, the probability would be

1/6 x 3/6 = 12/36

which simplifies to 1/12
