Answer:

x^3 - 5x^2 + 2x + 8

= (x^3 - 4x^2) - (x^2 - 4x) - (2x - 8)

= x^2(x - 4) - x(x - 4) - 2(x - 4)

= (x^2 - x - 2)(x - 4)

= [x(x - 2) + (x - 2)](x - 4)

= (x - 2)(x + 1)(x - 4)

Hope this helps!

Make x the subject of the formula y=(5t+5x)

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

(y-5t)/5=x

Step-by-step explanation:

y=5t+5x

factorize

y=5(t+x)

divide both sides by 5

y/5=5(t+x)/5

y/5=t+x

make x to stand alone

y/5-t=x

take lcm of 5 and 1

y/5-5t/5

y-5t/5=x

Make use of the given interpretation for the median to assign probabilities to the simple events and find P(A), P(B), and P(C).

scoundrel [369]

Answer: Hello your question is incomplete below is the missing part of the question

The Bureau of the Census reports that the median family income for all families in the United States during the year 2003 was $43,318. That is, half of all American families had incomes exceeding this amount, and half had incomes equal to or below this amount. Suppose that four families are surveyed and that each one reveals whether its income exceeded $43,318 in 2003.

answer :

P(A) = 11 / 16

P(B) = 3/8

and P(C) = 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Making use of the given interpretation for the median we can assign probabilities to simple events as

P(A) = | A | / | sample space |

where | A | = 11

sample space = 16

P(A) = 11 / 16

∴ P(B) = 6/16 = 3/8

and P(C) = 4/16 = 1/4

The ratio of the measure of the acute angle in a right triangle is 1/2 . Find the measures of the two angles

AleksandrR [38]

30° and 60°.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

We will solve the problem of the measures of angles in the triangle.

Recall this condition:

The acute angle ⇒ an angle of less than 90°.
The right angle ⇒ an angle of exactly 90°.
A right triangle ⇒ a triangle in which one angle is a right angle.
The interior angles ⇒ the angles inside a triangle.
All the interior angles in a triangle , i.e., $\boxed{ \ \angle A + \angle B + \angle C = 180^0 \ }$

<u>Given that:</u>

The ratio of the measure of the acute angle in a right triangle is ¹/₂.

<u>Question:</u>

Find the measures of the two angles.

<u>The Process:</u>

We call it the triangle ABC. An interior angle inside is a right angle, e.g., ∠A = 90°.

From the ratio of two other acute angles, i.e., 1: 2, we call it ∠B = x and ∠C = 2x.

Let's arrange the three angles in ABC triangle as follows:

$\boxed{ \ 90^0 + x + 2x = 180^0 \ }$

Both sides subtracted by 90°.

$\boxed{ \ x + 2x = 180^0 - 90^0 \ }$

$\boxed{ \ 3x = 90^0 \ }$

Both sides divided by 3.

We get $\boxed{ \ x = 30^0 \ }$

We substitute the value of x back into B and C.

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ \angle B = x\ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ \angle B = 30^0 \ }} \\\boxed{\boxed{ \ \angle C = 2x\ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ \angle C = 60^0 \ }}$

We have succeeded in getting the measures of the two angles.
