Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation:  2x^2 − 5x − 3

Rather than try to factor this from scratch, test the given factors in the possible answers.  Looking at the fourth possible answer (D), we see that two criteria are satisfied:  (1) the product of +1 and -3 is -3, which equals the third term of the given polynomial, and (2) +1x - 6x = -5x, which equals the second term.  Thus,

2x^2 − 5x − 3 =  (2x + 1)(x − 3)

The following is an incomplete paragraph proving that the opposite angles of parallelogram ABCD are congruent: Parallelogram ABC
Studentka2010 [4]

General Idea:

The angles which occupy the same relative position at each intersection where a straight line crosses two others. If the two lines are parallel, the corresponding angles are equal.

The angles that are formed on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two lines are alternate interior angles. The theorem says that when the lines are parallel, that the alternate interior angles are equal.

Applying the concept:

Angles PBC and BAD are congruent by the <u>Corresponding Angle Theorem</u>.

Angles ABC and BAT are congruent by the <u>Alternate Interior angle Theorem</u>.

Suppose a brand of light bulbs is normally​ distributed, with a mean life of 1400 hr and a standard deviation of 150 hr. Find th
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The probability that a light bulb of that brand lasts between 1175 hr and 1610 hr is 0.8524.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Suppose a brand of light bulbs is normally​ distributed, with a mean life of 1400 hr and a standard deviation of 150 hr.

To find : The probability that a light bulb of that brand lasts between 1175 hr and 1610 hr ?

Solution :

Applying z-score formula,

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

where, \mu=1400 is population mean

\sigma=150 is standard deviation

For x=1175 hour,

z=\frac{1175-1400}{150}

z=\frac{-225}{150}

z=-1.5

For x=1610 hour,

z=\frac{1610-1400}{150}

z=\frac{210}{150}

z=1.4

The required probability is,

P(1175< X

P(1175< X

Using z table, the values are

P(1175< X

P(1175< X

The probability that a light bulb of that brand lasts between 1175 hr and 1610 hr is 0.8524.
