How do you factor 8x^2+18x+9=0

1 answer:

8 0

First off, do a prime factoring of the constant and leading coefficient, namely 9 and 8 respectively.

so a prime factoring of 8 is 2*2*2, and a prime factoring of 9 is 3*3.

so, those are the factors... now, how do we produce products that gives us the middle coefficient +18?

well, let's see hmmmm 2 * 3 * 3 and 2 * 3....so that's 18 + 6, that's 24.. .so... no good is not 18, let's try again.

2*2*3 and 2 * 3, so that's 12 + 6, now, that's +18

so we'll use those, 2*2*3 and 2*3, or 4 * 3 an 2 * 3, (4x + 3)(2x + 3) = 0.

The table of the probability is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

μ = 0.919

The interpretation of this is that;on the average, an individual aged 15 years or older has been involved in 0.919 marriages.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value which is also called mean value is denoted by the symbol μ. It is defined as the sum of the product of each possibility x with it's probability P(x) as the formula;

μ = Σx.P(x) = (0 × 0.272) + (1 × 0.575) + (2 × 0.121) + (3 × 0.027) + (4 × 0.004) + (5 × 0.001)

μ = 0.919

Thus, the interpretation of this is that;on the average, an individual aged 15 years or older has been involved in 0.919 marriages.
