If x -6 is one factor of x^2 - 10x +24, which is the other factor?

To get the other factor of the expression x² - 10x + 24, we can use long or synthetic division. We are given that the other factor is x - 6, so we can use that as our divisor. Our setup should look something like this:
x² - 10x + 24 ÷ x - 6
Here is the work using polynomial long division:
         <u> x     -4          </u>   
x - 6 | x² - 10x + 24
         <u> </u><span><u>x² - 6x</u>
</span>          0  - 4x + 24
               <span><u>-4x - 24</u>
</span>                          0
We can see that our quotient is x - 4, which would be the other factor of x - 6 to get x² - 10x + 24. The answer to your query is x - 4. Hope this helps and have a phenomenal day!

According to a study done by a university​ student, the probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mou
Anon25 [30]

 Let X be a discrete binomial random variable.
 Let p = 0.267 be the probability that a person does not cover his mouth when sneezing.
 Let n = 18 be the number of independent tests.
 Let x be the number of successes.
 So, the probability that the 18 individuals, 8 do not cover their mouth after sneezing will be:

 a) P (X = 8) = 18! / (8! * 10!) * ((0.267) ^ 8) * ((1-0.267) ^ (18-8)).
 P (X = 8) = 0.0506.

 b) The probability that between 18 individuals observed at random less than 6 does not cover their mouth is:

 P (X = 5) + P (X = 4) + P (X = 3) + P (X = 2) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 0) = 0.6571.

 c) If it was surprising, according to the previous calculation, the probability that less than 6 people out of 18 do not cover their mouths is 66%. Which means it's less likely that more than half of people will not cover their mouths when they sneeze.

Write the equation in y=mx+b form please????
Solnce55 [7]

ANSWER

y =  - 2x - 5

EXPLANATION

We can use any two points to determine the slope.

The line passes through;

(-3,1) and (-5,5).

The slope is given by

m =  \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

This implies that;

m =  \frac{5 - 1}{ - 5 -  - 3}

m =  \frac{4}{ - 2}  =  - 2

We can now find the equation using the formula;

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

y   - 1 =  - 2(x  + 3)

Expand:

y =  - 2x -6 + 1

y =  - 2x - 5

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

the base length of the triangle is 4 units, u can count that. and the height of triangle is 2 units, thats the dotted line one. and the equation of triangle area is (length x height) divided by 2so in this case it'll be (4x2) /2=4 square units.

Tom drove at a constant speed 50 mph for 2.5 hours Albert drove at a constant speed of 65 mph for 2 hours. How many more total m
Alona [7]

Answer:

  5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = speed · time

Tom's distance = (50 mi/h)·(2.5 h) = 125 mi

Albert's distance = (65 mi/h)·(2 h) = 130 mi

Albert drove 130 -125 = 5 miles farther than Tom.
