This seems to look like a factoring question. When factoring, one must know that the second number is the sum of the two values multiplied by x, and the third number is what happens when one multiplies those two numbers. Using these definitions, one can conclude that the correct answer is (x-8)(x+3)

How do you do these geometry?

siniylev [52]

Answer:

The angles are 45°, 60° , 75°

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Angle sum property:</h3>

Sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°.

Equation:

3x + 5x + 4x = 180

Combine like terms,

12x = 180

x = 180/12

$\sf \boxed{x = 15}$

3x = 3 *15 = 45°

5x = 5* 15 = 75°

4x = 4 *15 = 60°

PLEASE SHOW WORK AND HELP EXPLAIN: 12.42 divided by 4.6

Anni [7]

Answer:

12.42 = 1242 / 100;

4.6 = 46 / 10;

12.42 ÷ 4.6 = (1242 / 100) ÷ (46 / 10 ) = (1242 / 100) x (10 / 46 ) = ( 1242 / 46 ) x ( 100 / 10 ) = 27 x 10 = 270;

The number of typing errors made by a typist has a Poisson distribution with an average of three errors per page. If more than t

damaskus [11]

Answer:

0.6472 = 64.72% probability that a randomly selected page does not need to be retyped.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

Poisson distribution with an average of three errors per page

This means that $\mu = 3$

What is the probability that a randomly selected page does not need to be retyped?

Probability of at most 3 errors, so:

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

In which

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240$

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.2240$

Then

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 + 0.2240 = 0.6472$

0.6472 = 64.72% probability that a randomly selected page does not need to be retyped.
