Venita is factoring the expression 32 a b minus 8 b. She determines the GCF and writes the factored expression as 8 b (4 a minus

0). Which best describes Venita's error? She incorrectly determined the GCF. She subtracted the GCF from the second term in the expression instead of dividing. She divided the GCF into the first term in the expression instead of subtracting. She divided each piece of the expression by different factors.

Answer:

She subtracted the GCF from the second term in the expression instead of dividing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 32ab-8b, to find the common greatest factor, we will bring out a function that us common to both terms 32ab and 8b. To do that, we need to first find their individual factors as shown:

32ab = (2×2×2)×2×2×a×(b)

8b = (2×2×2×b)

From both factors, the common terms are the values in parenthesis i.e 2×2×2×b = 8b

Hence the GCF of the expression 32ab - 8b is 8b. On factoring out 8b from the expression we will have;

= 32ab - 8b

= 8b(32ab/8b - 8b/8b)

= 8b(4a-1)

Comparing the gotten equation with Venita's own, 8b(4a-0), we can say that she correctly factored out the GCF but her error was that she subtracted 8b from the second term of the expression instead of dividing by 8b. 8b-8b is what gives her 0 making her expression wrong. She should have divided her second term also by 8b to have 8b/8b which results in 1 instead of 0 that venita got.

Calculate a23 for the product of the following matrices
s344n2d4d5 [400]

If A is the matrix product

A=\underbrace{\begin{pmatrix}1&2\\4&3\end{pmatrix}}_{M_1}\underbrace{\begin{pmatrix}6&1&5\\7&3&4\end{pmatrix}}_{M_2}

and a_{2,3} is the entry of A in the second row and third column, then

a_{2,3}=\begin{pmatrix}4&3\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}5\\4\end{pmatrix}=4\times5+3\times4=\boxed{32}

That is, the 2nd row, 3rd column entry of A is the product of the 2nd row of M_1 and the 3rd column of M_2.

The caller times at a customer service center has an exponential distribution with an average of 22 seconds. Find the probabilit
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected call time will be less than 30 seconds is 0.7443.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the caller times at a customer service center has an exponential distribution with an average of 22 seconds.

Let X = caller times at a customer service center

The probability distribution (pdf) of the exponential distribution is given by;

f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x} ; x > 0

Here, \lambda = exponential parameter

Now, the mean of the exponential distribution is given by;

Mean =  \frac{1}{\lambda}  

So,  22=\frac{1}{\lambda}  ⇒ \lambda=\frac{1}{22}

SO, X ~ Exp(\lambda=\frac{1}{22})  

To find the given probability we will use cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the exponential distribution, i.e;

    P(X\leq x) = 1 - e^{-\lambda x}  ; x > 0

Now, the probability that a randomly selected call time will be less than 30 seconds is given by = P(X < 30 seconds)

        P(X < 30)  =  1 - e^{-\frac{1}{22} \times 30}

                         =  1 - 0.2557

                         =  0.7443

The graph of f(x) = x6 – 2x4 – 5x2 + 6 is shown below.
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

There are two rational roots for f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a function

f(x) = x^6-2x^4-5x^2+6

To find the number of rational roots for f(x).

Let us use remainder theorem that when

f(a) =0, (x-a) is a factor of f(x) or x=a is one solution.

Substitute 1 for x

f(1) = 1-2-5+6=0

Hence x=1 is one solution.

Let us try x=-1

f(-1) = 1-2-5+6 =0

So x =-1 is also a solution and x+1 is a factor

We can write f(x) by trial and error as

f(x) = (x-1)(x+1)(x^2-3)

We find that f(x) (x^2-3) factor gives two irrational solutions as

±√3.

Hence number of rational roots are 2.
