Answer:

b. 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 600, \sigma = 100

What is the probability that a seed will take more than 720 hours before germinating?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 720. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{720 - 600}{100}

Z = 1.2

Z = 1.2 has a pvalue of 0.88.

1 - 0.88 = 0.12

So the correct answer is:

b. 0.12

When dividing with polynomials, the goal is to determine how many times the dividend divides evenly into the?
kkurt [141]
Whether dividing constant terms or polynomials, we always have definitive terms when it comes to division. Suppose we say, 10x divided by 2. The dividend is the 10x and the divisor is the 2. In other words, the dividend is the number to be divided by the divisor, to obtain the answer called the quotient.

When dividing polynomials, your main goal is to be able to divide the dividend evenly into the <em>divisor</em>. For example, we divide x²+2x+1 by x+1. The first thing you're going to focus is, what term will completely divide the first term of the polynomial? That would be x. Why? Because when you multiply x with x+1, the product is x²+x. When you subtract this from the polynomial, the x² will cancel out. All you have to do is subtract x from 2x, yielding x. Then, you carry down the last term of the equation: +1. You do the steps again. The term that will completely divide x+1 by x+1 is 1. When you subtract the two, you will come up with zero. That means there is no remainder. The polynomial is divisible by the divisor. 
                          x + 1
                        ------------------------------------
                  x+1| x²+2x+1
                        - x²+x
                         ----------------------
                                 x +1
                               - x + 
                             ------------

kkurt [141]
Answer

X1= 3-2 root3 x2= 1 x3=5 x4= 3 +2 root 3
First swap the sides then simplify the equation
Collect like terms
Move all the expression to the left to equal 0
Then collect like terms again
Reorder the terms from ^2 to ^4
Factor the expression
Change the signs
Separate into possible cases
Then sold the equation to equal 0
Then check solutions by subbing them in as x
Then you should have 4 perfect answers
