If one root is x = 6, then this polynomial is divisible by: x - 6.
( x³ - 4 x² - 20 x + 48 ) : ( x - 6 ) = x² + 2 x - 8
- x³ + 6x²
---------------
   2 x² - 20 x
      -2x² + 12 x
   -----------------
   - 8 x + 48
   8 x - 48
   --------------------
After that : x²+ 2 x - 8 = x² + 4 x - 2 x - 8 = x * ( x + 4 ) - 2 * ( x + 4 ) =
= ( x + 4 ) ( x - 2 )
Answer: C ) ( x - 2 ) ( x + 4 ) ( x - 6 )

Answer:

y=70°

z= 60°

w= 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two triangles are similar, we know that all of the corresponding angles must be the same. On the triangle on the left, we can see that the angle formed between sides AB and AC is 60°. This means that the same angle is formed at Z, which is in the same location on the triangle to the right. From there, we can find the missing angle, W, from the difference of 180°.

180°-50°-60°=70°.

The same way we found Z, we can also find Y, since it has to be the same as W.

An electronic product contains 48 integrated circuits. The probability that any integrated circuit is defective is 0.01, and the

BigorU [14]

Answer:

0.6173 = 61.73% probability that the product operates.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each integrated circuit, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are defective, or they are not. The integrated circuits are independent. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

An electronic product contains 48 integrated circuits.

This means that $n = 48$

The probability that any integrated circuit is defective is 0.01.

This means that $p = 0.01$

The product operates only if there are no defective integrated circuits. What is the probability that the product operates?

This is P(X = 0). So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{48,0}.(0.01)^{0}.(0.99)^{48} = 0.6173$

0.6173 = 61.73% probability that the product operates.
