Factor completely 2x2 − 6x − 36.

1 answer:

4 0

To factor out completely, we should have reached the most simplified form,
first we should take out 2.
2(x2 - 3x - 18)
then we should factor out the inside of the parenthesis,
2(x - 6)(x + 3)
And that's the most simplified and factored out form.

The final answer is then the second option, <span>2(x − 6)(x + 3)</span>

Answer:

There is a 0.82% probability that a line width is greater than 0.62 micrometer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X. The sum of the probabilities is decimal 1. So 1-pvalue is the probability that the value of the measure is larger than X.

In this problem

The line width used for semiconductor manufacturing is assumed to be normally distributed with a mean of 0.5 micrometer and a standard deviation of 0.05 micrometer, so $\mu = 0.5, \sigma = 0.05$ .
