We can factor by grouping. To do so, we multiply the leading coefficient with the constant at the end. In other words, a times c (ax^2 + bx + c).

15*-4 = -60

Now we need to split the b term into two pieces that multiply to -60 and add to 4.

-6 and 10 will work.

Now group one part of b with the 15x^2 and the other part with -4.

(15x^2 + 10x) + (-6x - 4)

Now factor both terms.

5x(3x+2) - 2(3x+2)

3x+2 is one of our factors and 5x-2 is the other.

(3x+2)(5x-2)=0

Now just find the zeros.

3x+2 = 0
3x = -2
x = -2/3

And

5x-2 = 0
5x = 2
x = 2/5

So the answer is x = -2/3 and x = 2/5

Raj measures the height of 70 plants calculate the estimate of the mean height of the plants
noname [10]

The mean height of plants is 44.07cm.

Given that a raj measures the height of 70 plants which is shown in the table in the image attached below.

The mean is defined as the mean value equal to the ratio of the total number of a given set of values ​​to the total number of values ​​contained in that set.

Firstly, we will find the midpoint of the height by using the formula

(upper limit +lower limit)/2

When h is 10<h<20 then the midpoint is

x₁=(10+20)/2

x₁=15

When h is 20<h<0 then the midpoint is

x₂=(20+40)/2

x₂=30

When h is 40<h<50 then the midpoint is

x₃(40+50)/2

x₃=45

When h is 50<h<60 then the midpoint is

x₄=(50+60)/2

x₄=55

When h is 60<h<90 then the midpoint is

x₅=(60+90)/2

x₅=75

Now, we will find the mean height by using the formula

x=(f₁x₁+f₂x₂+f₃x₃+f₄x₄+f₅x₅)/(Σfi)

Here, f₁=7,f₂=15,f₃=27,f₄=13,f₅=8

and Σfi=7+15+27+12+8=70

Substitute these values in the formula, we get

x=(7×15+15×30+27×45+12×55+8×75)/70

x=(105+450+1215+715+600)/70

x=(3085)/70

x=44.07

Hence,  the estimate of the mean height of the plants when raj measures the height of 70 plants is 44.07cm.
