Factor z2 + 17z + 72.

1 answer:

3 0

Hello!

It looks like you meant,
$z^2+17z+72$
Break the expression into two groups, that would imply splitting the 17.
$=\left(z^2+8z\right)+\left(9z+72\right)$
Let's start factoring.
First, factor the $z$ from $z^2+8z$
Then, factor the $9$ from $9z+72$
We would be left with,
$=z\left(z+8\right)+9\left(z+8\right)$
Factor out the common term, which is $(z+8)$
$=\left(z+8\right)\left(z+9\right)$

Our final answer would be,
$=\left(z+8\right)\left(z+9\right)$

You can feel free to let me know if you have any questions regarding this!
Thanks!

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the 1p to the y and -6 and distribute the 2 to the 3y and 6.

10y - 50 + 6y + 12

Now, combine like terms.

16y - 38

A college-entrance exam is designed so that scores are normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100.

Answer:

The probability is 0.003

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the average $\mu$ is:

$\mu=500$

The standard deviation $\sigma$ is:

$\sigma=100$

The Z-score is:

$Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

We seek to find

$P(x800)$

For P(x>800) The Z-score is:

$Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$Z=\frac{800-500}{100}$

$Z=3$

The score of Z = 3 means that 800 is 3 standard deviations from the mean. Then by the rule of the 8 parts of the normal curve, the area that satisfies the conficion of 3 deviations from the mean has percentage of 0.15%

$P(x>800)=0.15\%$

For P(x<200) The Z-score is:

$Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$Z=\frac{200-500}{100}$

$Z=-3$

The score of Z = -3 means that 200 is 3 standard deviations from the mean. Then by the rule of the 8 parts of the normal curve, the area that satisfies the conficion of 3 deviations from the mean has percentage of 0.15%

$P(x$
