First, determine how many standard deviations from the norm that 3 tons are. So:
(3 - 2.43) / 0.88 = 0.57/0.88 = 0.647727273
So 3 tons would be 0.647727273 deviations from the norm. Now using a standard normal table, lookup the value 0.65 (the table I'm using has z-values to only 2 decimal places, so I rounded the z-value I got from 0.647727273 to 0.65). The value I got is 0.24215. Now this value is the probability of getting a value between the mean and the z-score. What I want is the probability of getting that z-score and anything higher. So subtract the value from 0.5, so 0.5 - 0.24215 = 0.25785 = 25.785%
So the probability that more than 3 tons will be dumped in a week is 25.8%

Answer: No, this isn't a function.</h3>
Why not? Focus on the two points (0,2) and (0,4)
We have the x value x = 0 show up twice. Any time x repeats itself like this, it leads to "not a function" as the result.
In other words, the input x = 0 leads to multiple outputs y = 2 and y = 4 at the same time. A function is only possible if every x input leads to exactly one y output.
If you are a visual learner, then plot all of the points on the same xy grid. Then notice how (0,2) and (0,4) fail the vertical line test to show we don't have a function.
Side note: The y values can repeat themselves in a function.
<span>The multiplicity of a zero of a polynomial function is how many times a particular number is a zero for a given polynomial.
For example, in the polynomial function

, the zeros are 0 with a multiplicity of 1, -4 with a multiplicity of 2, and 2 with a multiplicity of 3.
Although this polynomial has only three zeros, we say that it has six zeros (or degree of 6) counting the <span>multiplicities.</span></span>
Answer:
- 3x² is a term in the numerator
- x + 1 is a common factor
- The denominator has 3 terms
Step-by-step explanation:
You can identify terms and count them before you start factoring. Doing so will identify 3x² as a term in the numerator, and will show you there are 3 terms in the denominator.
When you factor the expression, you get ...

This reveals a common factor of x+1.
So, the above three observations are true of this rational expression.
