Answer:

Factoring is a step taken towards solving a quadratic equation. ... You cannot factor them, the only way to find the roots then, is by using the quadratic formula. Suppose you factor the quadratic polynomial as and . Then set them equal to zero and solve for , you will have

Step-by-step explanation.

Example 1 – Solve: x2 + 16 = 10x

Step 1: Write the equation in the correct form. In this case, we need to set the equation equal to zero with the terms written in descending order.

Step 2: Use a factoring strategies to factor the problem.

Step 3: Use the Zero Product Property and set each factor containing a variable equal to zero.

Step 4: Solve each factor that was set equal to zero by getting the x on one side and the answer on the other side.

Answer:
A = $1,905.00

(I = A - P = $405.00)

Equation:
A = P(1 + rt)

Lori:

Answer:
A = $1,932.00

(I = A - P = $532.00)

Equation:
A = P(1 + rt)

Thus $532-$405= $127 more in Lori's account

The weight, w, in tons of a school bus is related linearly to its seating capacity, p. a 60-passenger bus weighs 10 tons, and an
lidiya [134]
The linear equation of relating two objects can be written in the form,
                                    y = ax + b 
Our x is the number of passenger and y is the weight (in tons). Using the first two conditions,
                                    10 = 60(a) + b
                                     13 = 84(a) + b
The values of a and b from the equations are 0.125 and 2.5. 
For 50-passenger bus,
                                    y = (50)(0.125) + 2.5
The value of y is 8.75.

It is known that 70% of the customers in a sporting goods store purchase a pair of running shoes. a random sample of 25 customer
NikAS [45]

Let x be the discrete random variable whose value is the number of successes in n trials.

The probability distribution function for x of the binomial distribution B(n,p) is defined as

B(n,p)= nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Given that the random sample size is n=25

let x represent number of customers who purchase running shoes

Let "p" be the probability of customers in a sporting goods store purchase a pair of running shoes.

It is given that 70% of the customers in a sporting goods store purchase a pair of running shoes.

Thus p=\frac{70}{100}=0.7

Thus the Probability distribution of x is given by

P(X=x)= 25C_x(0.7)^x(1-0.7)^{25-x}, where x=0,1,2,3,...,25.

A total of 165 people attended the opening night of a school play. Adults were charged $6, and children were charged $2. The tot
arlik [135]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number of people = 165
Adult = $6
Child = $2
Total collected = $618

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assumptions 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be the number of adults and y be the number of children

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form equations
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number of people
x + y = 165
Total amount collected 
6x + 2y = 618

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans: The two equations are x + y = 165 and 6x + 2y = 618
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


The question is not asking for it but if you need to solve the equation to find the answer to x and y

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Present the two equations and solve for x and y
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 165          ------------------------- (eqn 1)
6x + 2y = 618      ------------------------- (eqn 2)

(eqn 1) : 
x + y = 165
x = 165 - y -------------------------  substitute into (eqn 2)

6(165 - y) + 2y = 618
990 - 6y + 2y = 618
4y = 990 - 618
4y = 372
y = 93 -------------------------  substitute into (eqn 1)

x + y = 165
x + 93 = 165
x = 165 - 93
x = 72 

x = 72 and y = 93

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans: 72 adults and 93 children
