Answer:
(3 x + 2) (5 x - 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the following:
15 x^2 - 2 x - 8
Factor the quadratic 15 x^2 - 2 x - 8. The coefficient of x^2 is 15 and the constant term is -8. The product of 15 and -8 is -120. The factors of -120 which sum to -2 are 10 and -12. So 15 x^2 - 2 x - 8 = 15 x^2 - 12 x + 10 x - 8 = 5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2):
5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2)
Factor 3 x + 2 from 5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2):
Answer: (3 x + 2) (5 x - 4)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose the time required for an auto shop to do a tune-up is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as
z = (x - u)/s
Where
x = points scored by students
u = mean time
s = standard deviation
From the information given,
u = 102 minutes
s = 18 minutes
1) We want to find the probability that a tune-up will take more than 2hrs. It is expressed as
P(x > 120 minutes) = 1 - P(x ≤ 120)
For x = 120
z = (120 - 102)/18 = 1
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.8413
P(x > 120) = 1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587
2) We want to find the probability that a tune-up will take lesser than 66 minutes. It is expressed as
P(x < 66 minutes)
For x = 66
z = (66 - 102)/18 = - 2
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.02275
P(x < 66 minutes) = 0.02275
The vertex (5,39)
5 is the value of x. 39 is the value of y. y is the cost function of the minimum value in dollars.
(5,39) vertex means that <span>Buying five of each type of plant costs $39, which is the lowest possible cost.</span>
