Answer:

  x = -2 or -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation can be factored:

  (x +2)(x +3) = 0

The solutions are the values of x that make the factors be zero.

  x + 2 = 0   ⇒   x = -2

  x + 3 = 0   ⇒   x = -3

The solutions are x=-2 or -3.

_____

The product (x +a)(x +b) is ...

  (x +a)(x +b) = x^2 +(a+b)x + ab

Comparing this to the above equation, we see that the product of 'a' and 'b' must be 6, and their sum must be 5. When we look at the factors of 6, we find a couple of choices. The correct one is easy to see.

  6 = 1×6 = 2×3

The sums of factors are 1+6=7 and 2+3=5, so it is the latter pair that is of interest. It does not matter which we call 'a' and which we call 'b'. Once we find two numbers whose sum is 5 and product is 6, we can fill in the binomial factors:

  x^2 +5x +6 = (x +2)(x +3) = 0

Answer:

(x+3)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

take x^2 and take it apart. so it should be (x+  ) (x+  ) then take 6 and make it so it's multipuls equal 5. ur answer should be (x+3)(x+2) or vice versa.

A person must score in the upper 8% of the population on an IQ test to qualify for membership in MENSA, the international high-I
Cloud [144]

Answer:

A person must get an IQ score of at least 138.885 to qualify.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. 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, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 115, \sigma = 17

(a). [7pts] What IQ score must a person get to qualify

Top 8%, so at least the 100-8 = 92th percentile.

Scores of X and higher, in which X is found when Z has a pvalue of 0.92. So X when Z = 1.405.

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

1.405 = \frac{X - 115}{17}

X - 115 = 17*1.405

X = 138.885

A person must get an IQ score of at least 138.885 to qualify.
