Explain the role of the GCF in factoring a polynomial.

1 answer:

5 0

1. GCF is a factor that is shared by all terms within a polynomial for example, if we have a polynomial of the form A*B + A*C, the GCF is A since both terms have A as a factor 2. after we factor out the GCF, it is placed outside the parentheses, in front of the rest of the polynomial. using our previous example, A*B+A*C = A(B+C) 3. we can verify that our factoring is correct by distributing the GCF to the polynomial within the parentheses

rodikova [14]

Answer:

The p-value is 0.0229

Step-by-step explanation:

With $H_{a}: p > 0.47$ we have an upper-tail alternative. Because the p-value is defined as the probability of getting a value at least as extreme as the value observed. The observed value is given by the test statistic z = 1.997 which comes from a standard normal distribution. Therefore, we compute the p-value in the following way P(Z > 1.997) = 0.0229, i.e., the p-value is 0.0229
