How to factor x^2-2x-15

Mathematics
1 answer:
olga2289 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

(x - 5)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 2x - 15

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 2)

The factors are - 5 and + 3, since

- 5 × 3 = - 15 and - 5 + 3 = - 2, thus

(x - 5)(x + 3) ← in factored form

Two sections of a class took the same quiz. Section A had 15 students who had a mean score of 80, and Section B had 20 students
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: A. 85.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Two sections of a class took the same quiz.

Section A had 15 students who had a mean score of 80, and Section B had 20 students who had a mean score of 90.

We know that  , \text{Mean}=\dfrac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{No. of observations}}

Then , for section A :

\text{Mean score }=\dfrac{\text{Sum of scores in sec A}}{\text{No. of students}}

\Rightarrow\ 80=\dfrac{\text{Sum of scores in sec A}}{15}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Sum of scores in sec A}=80\times15=1200

Similarly in Section B, \text{Sum of scores in sec B}=90\times20=1800

Total scores = Sum of scores in sec A+Sum of scores in sec B

=1200+1800=3000

Total students = Students in sec A +Students in sec B

=15+20=35

Now , the mean score for all of the students on the quiz =\dfrac{\text{Total score}}{\text{Total students}}

=\dfrac{3000}{35}=85.7142857143\approx85.7

Hence, the approximate mean score for all of the students on the quiz = 85.7

Thus , the correct answer is option A. 85.7.
