Judging by the question I noticed that the two both share x^3 in common. You can divide x^4 by x^3 and get x as a result, and x^3 can still divide into itself.
Thus your answer should be C, x^3
Answer:
14
Explanation:
First factor the expression:
2(3+4)
Add the numbers:
2(7)
Multiply the numbers:
14
Answer:
Every difference of squares problem can be factored as follows: a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b). So, all you need to do to factor these types of problems is to determine what numbers squares will produce the desired results. Step 3: Determine if the remaining factors can be factored any further.

Answer: C) 81.5%</h3>
This value is approximate.
====================================================
Explanation:
We have a normal distribution with these parameters
- mu = 128 = population mean
- sigma = 30 = population standard deviation
The goal is to find the area under the curve from x = 68 to x = 158, where x is the number of text messages sent per day. So effectively, we want to find P(68 < x < 158).
Let's convert the score x = 68 to its corresponding z score
z = (x-mu)/sigma
z = (68-128)/30
z = -60/30
z = -2
This tells us that the score x = 68 is exactly two standard deviations below the mean mu = 128.
Repeat for x = 158
z = (x-mu)/sigma
z = (158-128)/30
z = 30/30
z = 1
This value is exactly one standard deviation above the mean
-------------------------------------------
The problem of finding P(68 < x < 158) can be rephrased into P(-2 < z < 1)
We do this because we can then use the Empirical rule as shown in the diagram below.
We'll focus on the regions between z = -2 and z = 1. This consists of the blue 13.5% on the left, and the two pink 34% portions. So we will say 13.5% + 34% + 34% = 81.5%
Approximately 81.5% of the the population sends between 68 and 158 text messages per day. This value is approximate because the percentages listed in the Empirical rule below are approximate.
