Factorization of nine using exponents from least to greatest

1 answer:

4 0

The only way to write 42 as the product of primes (except to change the order of the factors) is 2 × 3 × 7. We call 2 × 3 × 7 the prime factorization of 42. It turns out that every counting number (natural number) has a unique prime factorization, different from any other counting number. This fact is called the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic. Fundamental theorem of arithmetic

In order to maintain this property of unique prime factorizations, it is necessary that the number one, 1, be categorized as neither prime nor composite. Otherwise a prime factorization could have any number of factors of 1, and the factorization would no longer be unique.

Prime factorizations can help us with divisibility, simplifying fractions, and finding common denominators for fractions.

The sum of the measures of angle Y and angle Z is 180 degrees. Angle Y measures (3x + 20) degrees and Angle Z measures x degrees

Minchanka [31]

A)
The question tells us that
y + z = 180
And
y=3x+20
z=x

So we put them in the first formula:

y + z = 180
(3x + 20) + x = 180

Add and get x to one side:
4x + 20 = 180
4x + 20 - 20 = 180-20
4x = 160
Divide both sides by 4
x = 40

B)
Put x back in to equation to get size of each angle:

Y =3x +20
Y=3(40)+20
Y=120+20
Y=140

Z=x
Z=40

Verify: y+z=180
140+40=180
180=180

Consider the continuous random variable x, which has a uniform distribution over the interval from 110 to 150. The probability t

Virty [35]

Answer:

The probability that x will take on a value between 120 and 125 is 0.14145

Step-by-step explanation:

For uniform distribution between a & b

Mean, xbar = (a + b)/2

Standard deviation, σ = √((b-a)²/12)

For 110 and 150,

Mean, xbar = (150 + 110)/2 = 130

Standard deviation, σ = √((150-110)²/12 = 11.55

To find the probability that x will take on a value between 120 and 125

We need to standardize 120 & 125

z = (x - xbar)/σ = (120 - 130)/11.55 = - 0.87

z = (x - xbar)/σ = (125 - 130)/11.55 = - 0.43

P(120 < x < 125) = P(-0.87 < x < -0.43)

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(120 < x < 125) = P(-0.87 < x < -0.43) = P(z ≤ -0.43) - P(z ≤ -0.86) = 0.33360 - 0.19215 = 0.14145

Hope this Helps!!!

These data represent the volumes in cubic yards of the largest dams in the united states and in South America. Construct a boxpl

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Check it below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The Boxplot is a visual tool to easily find the quartiles of a Distribution. To construct a boxplot it's necessary to organize the data, find at least the upper (3rd Quartile) and lower quartile (1st Quartile), and register the maximum and the minimum value.

2) This graph confirms that the South American ones have much more water than the North American counterparts. Notice the Upper Quartile, (the top of the box) for the Southern ones, it's over 100,000 yrds³. And Compare to the Northern one.
