The first rule of factoring is to try to factor a common factor from all the terms. In this case, there is no common factor.

Now we factor the trinomial.
This quadratic trinomial is of the form
x^2 + ax + b = 0
where the coefficient of the x^2 term is 1.
To factor it, find two numbers that multiply to "b", the constant term,
and add to "a", the coefficient of x.

The numbers are -5 and 2 since -5 * 2 = -10, and -5 + 2 = -3.

Now we write two sets of parentheses with x on the left side:

(x      )(x       ) = 0

We fill in the parentheses with the two numbers we found above, -5 and 2.

(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0

That is the factoring.

Hello there!

x^2 - 3x - 10=0

Factorize the left side 

(x + 2)(x-5)=0 

Set factors equal to 0

x + 2 = 0 or x - 5 = 0 

x = -2 or x = 5 

Best of luck!

Suppose that a recent article stated that the mean time spent in jail by a first-time convicted burglar is 2.5 years. A study wa
4vir4ik [10]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that since the <u>test statistic is greater than the critical value</u>, it can be concluded that the mean length of jail time has increased.

At the null hypothesis, it is <u>tested if the mean length of jail time is still of 2.5 years</u>, that is:

H_0: \mu = 2.5

At the alternative hypothesis, it is <u>tested if it has increased</u>, that is:

H_1: \mu > 2.5

We have the <u>standard deviation for the population</u>, thus, the z-distribution is used. The test statistic is given by:

z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

The parameters are:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis.
  • \sigma is the standard deviation of the sample.
  • n is the sample size.

For this problem, the values of the <u>parameters</u> are: \overline{x} = 3, \mu = 2.5, \sigma = 1.5, n = 26

Hence, the value of the <u>test statistic</u> is:

z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{3 - 2.5}{\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{26}}}

z = 1.7

The critical value for a <u>right-tailed test</u>, as we are testing if the mean is greater than a value, with a <u>significance level of 0.05</u>, is of z^{\ast} = 1.645

Since the <u>test statistic is greater than the critical value</u>, it can be concluded that the mean length of jail time has increased.

12.38 in expanded form
vitfil [10]
12.38 in expanded form is write like:-

10 + 2 + .3 + .08 = 12.38

To write a number in expanded form just means to write the number in a layout and when you add it up it will become the number you needed to write in expanded form. 

So, 12.38 written in expanded form is:- 10 + 2 + .3 + 0.8

Hope i helped ya!!

The scatterplot shows the time it takes for a new hot plate to boil various amounts of water, and one lab group’s attempt at a l
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The line of best fit is not reasonable because it has more points below it than above it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we note that there are a total of seven points in the scatter plot and there are five of the points below the line of best fit and just two above the line.

Of the five points below the line of best fit, four are just about touching the underside of the line while one of the two points above the line is just about touching the line.

The proper positioning of the line can be reviewed, therefore, with a line drawn through the four points presently touching the underside of the line of best fit.
