If you're factoring, your answer is
(4x - 3)(4x + 5)
You'll work it out this way:
16x^2 + 8x - 15
Since there's no GCF here, you multiply the first and third terms, giving you -240. Your next step is to find two numbers that have a sum of 8 and a product of -240. These numbers are 20 and -12. Plug those in and you've got:
16x^2 + 20x - 12x - 15
From here you divide it into two binomials. These are (16x^2 + 20x) and (-12x - 15).
When you take out the greatest common factors (4x and -3), they become:
4x(4x + 5) - 3(4x + 5)
Then you group what's outside of the parentheses together (4x - 3)
And bring what's inside of the parentheses down (4x + 5).
This brings your answer to
(4x - 3)(4x + 5)
Commutative Property of Addition
Answer:
a) Sample mean: 48.71
Sample median: 48.3
Sample variance: 5.41
Sample standard deviation: 2.37
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Sample mean:
Sample median: M=48.3
Note: I order the data increasingly and take the value N / 2 = 40. In this way there are 39 values above and 39 values below the median.
Sample variance:
Sample standard deviation
b)
4 are rock and 12 are pop, so 4 CD's are other
The median of the data set it 40.5
