How is the distributive property used when multiplying two binomials

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying a binomial times a binomial, each term of the first binomial must be multiplied by each term of the second binomial. Like terms are then combined.

When multiplying two binomials, four multiplications must take place. These multiplications can occur in any order, as long as each of the first two terms is multiplied by each of the second two terms.

There are numerous ways to set up the multiplication of two binomials. The two basic formats, horizontal line-up and vertical line-up, are similar to what we saw in adding and subtracting polynomials. Let's investigate the simple product (x + 2)(x + 4) with a variety of set-ups. Start with the first term of the first binomial (the blue x).

• Distribute (multiply) this term times EACH of the terms in the second binomial (x + 4).

• Then take the second term in the first binomial (including its sign: +2) and distribute (multiply) this term times EACH of the terms in the second binomial (x + 4).

• Add the results, combining like terms when needed.

• This method will work with all polynomials, not just binomials times binomials.

Chapter 3 of Wheels of Change .

But the bicycle craze had a more lasting impact on women’s clothing than just the use of bloomers. Thanks in large part to cycling, the innovation of rational dress reformers were starting to take effect by the end of the 1890s. Corsets were on their way out, dresses were getting shorter, and women no longer wore the heavy, bulky undergarments that gave them round, unnatural shapes. These changes went a long way toward unburdening women and setting the stage for them to be healthier and more active in the coming century.

Based on the excerpt, women in the 1890s became more independent and their lives improved as a result of

a rise in the popularity of bicycles.

a rise in the popularity of corsets.

cycling becoming less socially acceptable.

clothing becoming more restrictive.

Historical data for a local manufacturing company show that the average number of defects per product produced is 2. In addition

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The probability that there will be a total of 7 defects on four units is 0.14.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Poisson distribution describes the probability distribution of number of success in a specified time interval.

The probability distribution function for a Poisson distribution is:

$P(X = x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!}, x=0,1,2,3,...$

Let <em>X</em> = number of defects in a unit produced.

It is provided that there are, on average, 2 defects per unit produced.

Then in 4 units the number of defects is, $(2\times4)=8$ .

Compute the probability of exactly 7 defects in 4 units as follows:

$P(X = x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!}\\P(X=7)=\frac{e^{-8}8^{7}}{7!}\\=\frac{0.0003355\times2097152}{5040}\\ =0.1396\\\approx0.14$

Thus, the probability of exactly 7 defects in 4 units is 0.14.
