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.

Ber [7]

Answer:

The probability that it will take more than 10 minutes for the next student to arrive at the library parking lot is 0.0821.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> is defined as the amount of time until the next student will arrive in the library parking lot at the university.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows an Exponential distribution with mean, <em>μ</em> = 4 minutes.

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

f_{X}(x)=\lambda e^{\lambda x};\ x\geq 0, \lambda >0

The parameter of the exponential distribution is:

\lambda=\frac{1}{\mu}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25

Compute the value of P (X > 10) as follows:

P(X>10)=\int\limits^{\infty}_{10}{0.25e^{-0.25x}}\, dx

                 =0.25\times \int\limits^{\infty}_{10}{e^{-0.25x}}\, dx\\=0.25\times |\frac{e^{0.25x}}{-0.25}|^{\infty}_{10}\\=(e^{-0.25\times \infty})-(e^{-0.25\times 10})\\=0.0821

Thus, the probability that it will take more than 10 minutes for the next student to arrive at the library parking lot is 0.0821.

A piece of paper is to display ~128~ 128 space, 128, space square inches of text. If there are to be one-inch margins on both si
Grace [21]

Answer:

The dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

Area = 128

Let the dimension of the paper be x and y;

Such that:

Length = x

Width = y

So:

Area = x * y

Substitute 128 for Area

128 = x * y

Make x the subject

x = \frac{128}{y}

When 1 inch margin is at top and bottom

The length becomes:

Length = x + 1 + 1

Length = x + 2

When 2 inch margin is at both sides

The width becomes:

Width = y + 2 + 2

Width = y + 4

The New Area (A) is then calculated as:

A = (x + 2) * (y + 4)

Substitute \frac{128}{y} for x

A = (\frac{128}{y} + 2) * (y + 4)

Open Brackets

A = 128 + \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8

Collect Like Terms

A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8+128

A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 136

A= 512y^{-1} + 2y + 136

To calculate the smallest possible value of y, we have to apply calculus.

Different A with respect to y

A' = -512y^{-2} + 2

Set

A' = 0

This gives:

0 = -512y^{-2} + 2

Collect Like Terms

512y^{-2} = 2

Multiply through by y^2

y^2 * 512y^{-2} = 2 * y^2

512 = 2y^2

Divide through by 2

256=y^2

Take square roots of both sides

\sqrt{256=y^2

16=y

y = 16

Recall that:

x = \frac{128}{y}

x = \frac{128}{16}

x = 8

Recall that the new dimensions are:

Length = x + 2

Width = y + 4

So:

Length = 8 + 2

Length = 10

Width = 16 + 4

Width = 20

To double-check;

Differentiate A'

A' = -512y^{-2} + 2

A" = -2 * -512y^{-3}

A" = 1024y^{-3}

A" = \frac{1024}{y^3}

The above value is:

A" = \frac{1024}{y^3} > 0

This means that the calculated values are at minimum.

<em>Hence, the dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches</em>
