A group will equally split 3/4 pounds of a rare spice. How much spice will each person get?

1. Make sure that the trinomial is written in the correct order - the trinomial must be written in descending order from highest power to lowest power. In you case, the trinomial must be written as

$2x^2+5x+3$

2. Decide if the three terms have anything in common, called the greatest common factor or GCF. If so, factor out the GCF. Do not forget to include the GCF as part of your final answer.

In your case, coefficients 2, 5 and 3 do not have common factors, so go to the next step.

3. Multiply the leading coefficient and the constant, that is multiply the first and last numbers together:

$2\cdot 3=6$

4. List all of the factors from step 3 and decide which combination of numbers will combine to get the number next to x:

$6=1\cdot 6\\ \\ \bf{6=2\cdot 3}$

5. After choosing the correct pair of numbers, you must give each number a sign so that when they are combined they will equal the number next to x and also multiply to equal the number found in Step 3:

$2+3=5$

6. Rewrite the original problem with four terms by splitting the middle term into the two numbers chosen in step 5:

$2x^2+5x+3=2x^2+2x+3x+3$

7. Now that the problem is written with four terms, you can factor by grouping:

$2x^2 +2x+3x+3=(2x^2+2x)+(3x+3)=2x(x+1)+3(x+1)=(x+1)(2x+3)$

In August 2003, 56% of employed adults in the United States reported that basic mathematical skills were critical or very import

Serga [27]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, suppose that nothing has changed, and possibility p is still 0.56. It's our null hypothesis. Now, we've got Bernoulli distribution, but 30 is big enough to consider Gaussian distribution instead.

It has mean μ= np = 30×0.56=16.8

standard deviation s = √npq

sqrt(30×0.56×(1-0.56)) = 2.71

So 21 is (21-16.8)/2.71 = 1.5494 standard deviations above the mean. So the level increased with a ˜ 0.005 level of significance, and there is sufficient evidence.

Would the answer for 36 be $9.88 or $9.75?

total bill before any discounts $13.

she is a student, so she gets 20% off.

she brought an item of clothing, so she gets 5% off.

so she's really getting 20% + 5% off, namely 25% off her bill.

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{25\% of 13}}{\left( \cfrac{25}{100} \right)13\implies 3.25}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{bill with all discounts}}{13-3.25\implies 9.75}$
