Answer:

It is a factor

Step-by-step explanation:

[x³ -7x² + 8x + 16] ÷ (x + 1)

[x³ + x² - 8x² - 8x + 16x + 16] ÷ (x + 1)

[x²(x + 1) - 8x(x + 1) + 16(x + 1)] ÷ (x + 1)

x² - 8x + 16 and tye remainder is 0.

So, yes (x + 1) is a factor

The graph below shows the distances, in miles, that a dragonfly can travel in a certain number of hour. Based on the graph, what

Evgen [1.6K]

The graph provides distance as a linear function of time.
The y-intercept is zero.

The line passes through (0,0) and (6,120).
Calculate the slope.
m = (120 - 0)/(6 - 0) = 20

The equation of the line is
d = 20t
where
t = time, hours
d = distance, miles

Therefore distance is the dependent variable.
When t = 24 hours, the distance is 20*24 = 480 miles.

Answers:
(a) Distance is the dependent variable
(b)The equation relating the two variables is
d = 20t
where
t = time, hours
d = distance, miles
(c) In 24 hours, the dragonfly will travel 480 miles.

Answer: The z-scores for a woman 6 feet tall is 2.96 and the z-scores for a a man 5'10" tall is 0.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y area the random variable that represents the heights of women and men.

Given : The heights of women aged 20 to 29 are approximately Normal with mean 64 inches and standard deviation 2.7 inches.

i.e. $\mu_1 = 64$ $\sigma_1=2.7$
