Create a factorable polynomial with a GCF of 3x. Rewrite that polynomial in two other equivalent forms. Explain how each form was created. (10 points)
Answer:
4x^2 + 8x + 4
4(x^2 + 2x + 1) - remove GCF of 4
4(x + 1)(x + 1) - factor
4(x + 1)^2 - collect like terms
Step-by-step explanation:
Then also expand it out by distributing:
21x^3 + 35x²
Form 1:
21x^3 + 35x² - unfactored
Form 2:
7x²(3x + 5) - factored with GCF of 7x² brought to the front
Update:
You could also multiply two binomials and make a quadratic.
Example:
(7x + 2)(3x + 5)
7x(3x + 5) + 2(3x + 5)
= 21x² + 35x + 6x + 10
= 21x² + 41x + 10
The favorable polynomial with a GCF of 3x will be 21x² + 41x + 10.
What is a polynomial?
A polynomial in mathematics is an expression made up of coefficients and indeterminates and involves only the operations of multiplication, addition, subtraction, and non-negative integer exponentiation of variables.
The polynomial will be solved as below:-
21x³ + 35x²
Form 1:
21x³ + 35x² - unfactored
Form 2:
7x²(3x + 5) - factored with GCF of 7x² brought to the front
You could also multiply two binomials and make a quadratic.
E = (7x + 2)(3x + 5)
E = 7x(3x + 5) + 2(3x + 5)
E = 21x² + 35x + 6x + 10
E = 21x² + 41x + 10

The Department of Education would like to test the hypothesis that the average debt load of graduating students with a bachelor's degree is equal to $17,600. A random sample of 28 students had an average debt load of $18,800. It is believed that the population standard deviation for student debt load is $4800. The α is set to 0.05. The confidence interval for this hypothesis test would be ________.
Answer:
A 95% confidence interval for the population average debt load of graduating students with a bachelor's degree is [$17,022.05, $20,577.94].
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a random sample of 28 students had an average debt load of $18,800. It is believed that the population standard deviation for student debt load is $4800. The α is set to 0.05.
Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population mean is given by;
P.Q. = [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ~ N(0,1)
where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample average debt load = $18,800
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = population standard deviation = $4,800
n = sample of students = 28
[tex]\mu[/tex] = population average debt load
Here for constructing a 95% confidence interval we have used a One-sample z-test statistics because we know about population standard deviation.
So, 95% confidence interval for the population mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is ;
P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95 {As the critical value of z at 5% level of
significance are -1.96 & 1.96}
P(-1.96 < [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < 1.96) = 0.95
P( [tex]-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]{\bar X-\mu}[/tex] < [tex]1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.95
P( [tex]\bar X-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]\mu[/tex] < [tex]\bar X+1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.95
95% confidence interval for [tex]\mu[/tex] = [ [tex]\bar X-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] , [tex]\bar X+1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ]
= [ [tex]\$18,800-1.96 \times {\frac{\$4,800}{\sqrt{28} } }[/tex] , [tex]\$18,800+1.96 \times {\frac{\$4,800}{\sqrt{28} } }[/tex] ]
= [$17,022.05, $20,577.94]
Therefore, a 95% confidence interval for the population average debt load of graduating students with a bachelor's degree is [$17,022.05, $20,577.94].
in the circle, m∠S=33°, mRS=120, and RU is a tangent. the diagram is not drawn to scale. what is m∠U? Please help!
Answer:
27°
Step-by-step explanation:
arc RT = 66
1/2(120 - 66) = 27
Answer:
∠ U = 27°
Step-by-step explanation:
The inscribed angle S is half the measure of its intercepted arc, thus
arc RT = 2 × ∠ U = 2 × 33³ = 66°
The secant- tangent angle U is half the measure of the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs, that is
∠ U = 0.5( RS - RT) = 0.5(120 - 66)° = 0.5 ×54° = 27°

Answer:
32 remainder 2
Step-by-step explanation:
To divide 162 by 5, we simply do the following:
5 goes into 16 => 3
Multiply 5 by 3 => 3 × 5 = 15
Subtract 15 from 16 => 16 – 15 = 1
Put the 1 before 2 => 12
5 goes into 12 => 2
Multiply 5 by 2 => 5 × 2 = 10
Subtract 10 from 12 => 12 – 10 => 2
In summary,
162 divided by 5 => 32 remainder 2

if an article is sold with 20% discount,there will be a profit of 15%.If it is sold at 10% discount, there will be a profit of Rs.200.Calculate the market price of an article
Answer:
The market price of the article is Rs. 978.72
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represents the market price.
Let y represents the selling price.
Let z represents the cost price.
if an article is sold with 20% discount then there will be a profit of 15%.
SP = CP+Profit =z+0.15z=1.15z
ATQ
[tex]0.80x = 1.15z\\0.80x- 1.15z = 0[/tex]
If it is sold at 10% discount then there will be a profit of Rs.200
ATQ
[tex]0.9x - z = 200[/tex]
Now we are supposed to find the market price of an article.
[tex]0.9x - z= 200[/tex]
Multiplying 1.15 both sides
[tex]0.9x \times 1.15 - 1.15z = 200 \times 1.15\\1.035x - 1.15z = 230[/tex]
We know that[tex]1.15z = 0.80x[/tex]
[tex]1.035x - 0.80z = 230\\0.235x = 230\\x = \frac{230}{0.235}\\x= Rs. 978.72[/tex]
Hence The market price of the article is Rs. 978.72
Romain knows the following information about the 323232 classes he took in high school: He studied for but did not pass 333 classes. He passed 272727 classes in total. He studied for 262626 classes in total. Can you help Romain organize the results into a two-way frequency table?
Answer:
Classes studied for, Classes he did not study for Total
Classes Passed, 23 4 27
Classes Failed, 3 2 5
Total, 26, 6 32
Please find attached the two way frequency table formatted on Excel spreadsheet
Step-by-step explanation:
The given information are;
The total number of classes Romain took in high school = 32
The number of classes he studied for but did not pass = 3
The total number of classes Romain passed = 27
The number of classes Romain studied for = 26
Therefore;
The number of classes Romain studied for and passed = 26 - 3 = 23
The total number of classes Romain failed = 32 - 27 = 5
The total number of classes Romain passed but did not study for = 27 - (26 - 3) = 4
The number of classes Romain did not study for and failed = 5 - 3 = 2
The total number of classes Romain did not study for = 4 + 2 = 6

An oblique prism has trapezoidal bases and a vertical height of 10 units. An oblique trapezoidal prism is shown. The trapezoid has base lengths of x and 2 x, and a height of x. The distance between the 2 trapezoid bases is 20. The vertical height of the prism is 10. Which expression represents the volume of the prism? 10x3 cubic units 15x2 cubic units 20x3 cubic units 30x2 cubic units
Answer:
volume of trapezoidal prism = 15x^2 cubic units
Step-by-step explanation:
First, area of the trapezoidal bases.
Parallel sides measure x and 2x, for an average of 1.5x.
Height = x
Area of trapezoidal base = 1.5x*x = 1.5x^2
Volume of prism = area base * height
(length does not matter, height does)
= 1.5x^2 * 10 = 15x^2
The volume of the prism is 15x² cubic units if the oblique prism has trapezoidal bases and a vertical height of 10 units option (B) 15x² cubic units is correct.
What is a trapezoid?It is defined as the quadrilateral having four sides in which two sides are parallel to each other, it is a 2-dimensional geometry.
The question is incomplete.
The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the attached picture.
It is given that:
An oblique prism has trapezoidal bases and a vertical height of 10 units.
As we know, the area of the trapezoidal bases:
From the figure:
Height = x
Area of trapezoidal base = (1.5x)(x) = 1.5x²
The volume of prism = area base×height
= 1.5x²×10 = 15x² cubic units
Thus, the volume of the prism is 15x² cubic units if the oblique prism has trapezoidal bases and a vertical height of 10 units option (B) 15x² cubic units is correct.

Explain why f(x) = x^2-x-6/x^2-9 is not continuous at x = 3.
Answer:
See Explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]f(x) = \frac{x^2 - x -6}{x^2 - 9}[/tex]
Required
Why is the function not continuous at x = 3
First substitute 3 for x at the denominator
[tex]f(x) = \frac{x^2 - x -6}{x^2 - 9}[/tex]
Factorize the numerator and the denominator
[tex]f(x) = \frac{x^2 - 3x+2x -6}{x^2 - 3^2}[/tex]
[tex]f(x) = \frac{x(x - 3)+2(x -3)}{(x - 3)(x+3)}[/tex]
[tex]f(x) = \frac{(x+2)(x - 3)}{(x - 3)(x+3)}[/tex]
Divide the numerator and denominator by (x - 3)
[tex]f(x) = \frac{x+2}{x+3}[/tex]
Substitute 3 for x
[tex]f(3) = \frac{3+2}{3+3}[/tex]
[tex]f(3) = \frac{5}{6}[/tex]
Because [tex]f(x) = \frac{x^2 - x -6}{x^2 - 9}[/tex] is defined when x = 3;
Then the function is continuous

Answer:
[tex]Domain: \{0,1,2,3,4,5,6\}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]m = 45 - 7.5b[/tex]
[tex]Values: \{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10\}[/tex]
Required
Select all values that belongs to the domain of the given function
Analyzing the question;
The question says that the function, m represent the amount left after buying b number of books
This means that, after purchasing b books, I'm expected to have a certain m amount of dollars left with me;
This implies that the value of m can never be negative;
So, the domain of m are values of b such that [tex]m \geq 0[/tex]
When b = 0
[tex]m = 45 - 7.5(0)[/tex]
[tex]m = 45 - 0[/tex]
[tex]m = 45[/tex]
When b = 1
[tex]m = 45 - 7.5(1)[/tex]
[tex]m = 45 - 7.5[/tex]
[tex]m = 37.5[/tex]
When b = 2
[tex]m = 45 - 7.5(2)[/tex]
[tex]m = 45 - 15[/tex]
[tex]m = 30[/tex]
When b = 3
[tex]m = 45 - 7.5(3)[/tex]
[tex]m = 45 - 22.5[/tex]
[tex]m = 22.5[/tex]
When b = 4
[tex]m = 45 - 7.5(4)[/tex]
[tex]m = 45 - 30[/tex]
[tex]m = 15[/tex]
When b = 5
[tex]m = 45 - 7.5(5)[/tex]
[tex]m = 45 - 37.5[/tex]
[tex]m = 7.5[/tex]
When b = 6
[tex]m = 45 - 7.5(6)[/tex]
[tex]m = 45 - 45[/tex]
[tex]m = 0[/tex]
When b = 7
[tex]m = 45 - 7.5(7)[/tex]
[tex]m = 45 - 52.5[/tex]
[tex]m = -7.5[/tex]
There's no need to check for other values, as they will result in negative values of m;
Hence, the domain of m are:
[tex]Domain: \{0,1,2,3,4,5,6\}[/tex]
The values that are in the domain of the function are 7, 8, 9 and 10
Linear functionsGiven the linear function m=45−7.5b
where:
b represents the amount m (in dollars) of moneyFor th domain to exist, then;
45 - 7.5b< 0
7.5 b > 45
b > 45/7.5
b > 6
Hence the values that are in the domain of the function are 7, 8, 9 and 10

Rewrite the equation y= 4/5.x + 3 in general form Ax + By + C = O
Work Shown:
y = (4/5)x + 3
5y = 4x + 15 ... multiply all terms by 5 to clear out the fraction
0 = 4x + 15 - 5y ... subtract 5y from both sides
4x-5y+15 = 0 .... rearrange terms
The equation is in standard form Ax+By+C = 0 where A = 4, B = -5, C = 15.
Some books use Ax+By = C to represent standard form. It's effectively the same thing just with C on the other side.

The Department of Health in the United Kingdom wants to know whether the healthcare system is achieving its goals in Scotland. Much information about healthcare comes from patient records, but that source doesn't allow us to compare people who use health services with those who don't. Therefore, the Department of Health conducted the Scotland Health Survey, which was used to interview a random sample of 34,572 people who live in Scotland.
Part A: What is the population for this sample survey? What is the sample? (4 points)
Part B: The survey found that 70% of males and 87% of females in the sample had visited a general practitioner at least once during the past year. Do you think these estimates are close to the truth about the entire population? Explain. (6 points)
Answer:
A. the population for this sample survey is 34,572 people, and the sample is the people who live in Scotland.
B. The estimates are close to the truth about the entire population.
Step-by-step explanation:
A. According to the given data we have that it was used to interview a random sample of 34,572 people who live in Scotland, therefore, the population for this sample survey is 34,572 people, and the sample is the people who live in Scotland.
B. The estimates are close to the truth about the entire population becuase a large sample was conducted, hence we can make an aproximation that represents the population parameter.

44. The length of a road is 380 m, correct to the nearest 10 m. Maria runs along this road at an average speed of 3.9 m/s. This speed is correct to 1 decimal place. Calculate the greatest possible time taken by Maria.
Answer:
The greatest possible time taken by Maria is 97.4 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
The greatest possible time taken by Maria occurs when she moves at constant rate and is equal to the length of the road divided by the length of the road. That is to say:
[tex]t = \frac{\Delta s}{v}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]\Delta s[/tex] - Length of the road, measured in meters.
[tex]v[/tex] - Average speed, measured in meters per second.
Given that [tex]\Delta s = 380\,m[/tex] and [tex]v = 3.9\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], the greatest possible time is:
[tex]t = \frac{380\,m}{3.9\,\frac{m}{s} }[/tex]
[tex]t = 97.4\,s[/tex]
The greatest possible time taken by Maria is 97.4 seconds.
Given the sequence -3, 9, -27, 81, -243, ..., find the recursive formula.
Answer:
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = - 3[tex]a_{n-1}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common ratio between consecutive terms of the sequence, that is
r = 9 ÷ - 3 = - 27 ÷ 9 = 81 ÷ - 27 = - 243 ÷ 81 = - 3
The recursive formula is of the form
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = r[tex]a_{n-1}[/tex] = - 3[tex]a_{n-1}[/tex]
I have never understood these. Help.
Answer:
5 sqrt(5)
Step-by-step explanation:
sqrt(125)
sqrt( 25*5)
We know that sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)
sqrt(25) sqrt(5)
5 sqrt(5)
Answer:
5√(5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that 125 is 25×5
If you couldn't do it use the prime factorization.
Prime numbers are 2,3,5.....
125 isn't divisible by 2 and 3 so we'll go with 5.
● 125 ÷ 5 = 25
Againg 25 is divisible by 5
● 25÷5 = 5
5 is divisible by 5
● 5÷5=1
So 125= 5×5×5 = 5^2 × 5
● √(125)= √(5^2×5) = 5√(5)
Keats Library purchases a number of new books, all in the category of biography; the library does not acquire any other books. With the addition of the new biographies, the biography collection of the library amounts to 37.5% of the new total number of books in the library. If prior to the purchase, only 20% of the books in Keats Library were biographies, by what percent has the number of biographies in the library increased
Answer:
[tex]\large \boxed{87.5 \, \%}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the original number of books
Then 0.375x = the total number of biographies
and 0.20 x = the original number of biographies
[tex]\text{Percent increase} = \dfrac{\text{ New number - Old number }}{\text{Old number }} \times 100\, \%\\\\= \dfrac{0.375x - 0.20x}{0.20x} \times 100\, \% = \dfrac{0.175x}{0.20x} \times 100\, \% = 0.875 \times 100\, \% = \mathbf{87.5 \, \%}\\\\\text{The number of biographies has increased by $\large \boxed{\mathbf{87.5 \, \%}}$}[/tex]
