Answer:

(3x-4)(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is in the form

ax²+bx+c.

To factor this, we find factors of a·c that sum to b; this means factors of 3(20) = 60 that sum to -19:

60 = 1(60) or -1(-60); 2(30) or -2(-30); 3(20) or -3(-20); 4(15) or -4(-15); 5(12) or -5(-12); 6(10) or -6(-10). The only of these that sum to -19 are -4 and -15. This means we will split up -19x into -4x and -15x:

3x²-4x-15x+20

Next we group the first two terms and the last two terms:

(3x²-4x)+(-15x+20)

Factor out the GCF of each group. For the first group, this is x:

x(3x-4)

For the second group, this is -5:

-5(3x-4)

The common factor for these two groups is (3x-4):

(3x-4)(x-5)

Answer:

The remainder is

−

Step-by-step explanation:

When

P ( x ) = 2 x 3 – x 2 – 3 x + 7 is divided by x + 2 ,we are dividing by x −( − 2), so the remainder will be: P ( − 2 ) = 2 − 2 ) 3 –

Write the number 5267 correct to<br> the nearest hundred.

galben [10]

Answer:

5300.

If you're rounding to the nearest hundred you look at the tens place. If its 5 or over you go up. So in this case we'll raise the 2 to a 5 because 6 is above 5.

The diameters of bolts produced in a machine shop are normally distributed with a mean of 5.725.72 millimeters and a standard de

suter [353]

Answer:

Top 5% is 5.84 milliters and the bottom 5% is 5.60 millimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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:

$\mu = 5.72, \sigma = 0.07$
