N = number of seeds planted

P = probability of germination

K = number that germinated

Using probability calculation:
p(x = k) = (n k) x 0.90^K x 0.10^n-k

p(10) = (12 10) x 0.90^10 x 0.10^2

P(10) = 0.2310

2x^3-x^2+x-2 factorize

Answer:

$(x-1)(2x^2+x+2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorize:

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

<u>Factor Theorem</u>

If f(a) = 0 for a polynomial then (x - a) is a factor of the polynomial f(x).

Substitute x = 1 into the function:

$\implies f(1)=2(1)^3-1^2+1-2=0$

Therefore, (x - 1) is a factor.

As the polynomial is cubic:

$\implies f(x)=(x-1)(ax^2+bx+c)$

Expanding the brackets:

$\implies f(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx-ax^2-bx-c$

$\implies f(x)=ax^3+(b-a)x^2+(c-b)x-c$

Comparing coefficients with the original polynomial:

$\implies ax^3=2x^3 \implies a=2$

$\implies (b-a)x^2=-x^2 \implies b-2=-1 \implies b=1$

$\implies -c=-2 \implies c=2$

Therefore:

$\implies f(x)=(x-1)(2x^2+x+2)$

Cannot be factored any further.

Solve for x check your solution

abruzzese [7]

Area for a triangle is (1/2) bh or bh/2
So using this info, b = 1.5 m and h = x and A = 1.5 m^2

A = bh/2
1.5 = 1.5x/2
Multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of fraction ... 3 = 1.5x
Divide both sides by 1.5 ... 2 = x so x= 1.5 m
