X² - 6x +9
x -3
x -3

D) (x - 3) (x -3) is your answer

To check, do your FOIL
x(x) = x^2
x(-3) = -3x
-3(x) = -3x
-3(-3) = 9
x^2 -6x +9 True

hope this helps

This scatterplot and regression line below show the relationship between the average rent for a 1-bedroom apartment in New York

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer: That the average price of a 1-bedroom apartment in New York in the year 2000 was around $800.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, x represents the number of years after the year 2000.

Then we can think that x = 0, represents the year 2000 itself.

Now, remember that the y-intercept is the value of y when we have x = 0.

Then the y-intercept gives information about the average price of a 1-bedroom apartment in the year 2000.

The information that we can conclude with this is that the average price of a 1-bedroom apartment in New York in the year 2000 was around $800.

What is the theoretical probability of rolling a number less than 5? Write the fraction, decimal and percent.

stealth61 [152]

Given:

Rolling a fair dice.

To find:

The theoretical probability of rolling a number less than 5.

Solution:

The possible numbers of rolling a dice are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Total outcomes = 6

Numbers less than 5 are 1, 2, 3, 4.

Favorable outcomes = 4

Now, the theoretical probability of rolling a number less than 5 is:

$\text{Probability}=\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

$\text{Probability}=\dfrac{4}{6}$

$\text{Probability}=\dfrac{2}{3}$

In decimal form, it can be written as:

$\text{Probability}\approx 0.67$

In percentage form, it can be written as:

$\text{Probability}=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 100$

$\text{Probability}\approx 66.67%$

Therefore, the theoretical probability of rolling a number less than 5 in the fraction, decimal and percent are $\dfrac{2}{3}, 0.67$ and $66.67\%$ respectively.
