Answer:

Method A.

Step-by-step explanation:

For solving this question we need to find out the z-scores for both methods,

Since, the z-score formula is,

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Where, \mu is mean,

\sigma is standard deviation,

Given,

For method A,

\mu = 33

\sigma=8

Thus, the z score for 34 is,

z_1=\frac{34-33}{8}=0.125

While, for method B,

\mu = 37

\sigma = 4

Thus, the z score for 34 is,

z_2=\frac{34-37}{4}=-0.75,

Since, z_1 > z_2

Hence, method A is preferred if the procedure must be completed within 34 minutes.

Simplify the polynomial expression given below.<br><br> (2x − 1)(2x2 + 5x + 3) + (3x + 6)
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

4x^{3}+8x^{2} +4x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

To simplify the polynomial we must eliminate the parentheses

by definition

ax^{n}*bx^{m} =abx^{n+m}

(2x-1)(2x^{2} +5x+3)+(3x+6)\\(4x^{3} +10x^{2} +6x-2x^{2} -5x-3)+(3x+6)\\\\We\ add\ the\ similar\ terms\\\\(4x^{3}+8x^{2} +x-3)+(3x+6)\\\\4x^{3}+8x^{2} +4x+3

I hope it helps

Have a great day
