Answer:

The answer is no because (1)^{100}+4(1)^{99}+3 \neq 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

If (x-1) is a factor of x^{100}+4x^{99}+3, then (1)^{100}+4(1)^{99}+3 \text{ will be } 0.

Let's check.

(1)^{100}+4(1)^{99}+3

1+4(1)+3

1+4+3

5+3

8

Since 8 \neq 0, then (x-1) is not a factor of x^{100}+4x^{99}+3.

======================================================

So anyways more on how this works:

If \frac{P(x)}{x-c}=Q(x)+\frac{R}{x-c} where R is the remainder and Q(x) is the quotient of the division, then multiplying both sides by (x-c) gives P(x)=Q(x)(x-c)+R.

We see that x-c is a factor if the remainder is 0. (Just like we know 2 is a factor of 6 because when we divide 6 by 2 we get a remainder of 0.)

Anyways if we evaluate P(x) for x=c we get:

P(c)=Q(x)(c-c)+R

P(c)=Q(x)(0)+R

P(c)=R

So evaluating P for x=c will tell us the remainder of the quotient \frac{P(x)}{x-c} without actually performing division.

The remainder will tell us if x-c is a factor of P

If the remainder is 0, then the answer is yes.

If the remainder is not 0, then the answer is no.

(The question to be answer "Is this a factor of this?")

The Weibull distribution is widely used in statistical problems relating to aging of solid insulating materials subjected to agi
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

\alpha =2.5 ,\beta =220

The weibull distribution with parameters \alpha \ \ and \ \ \beta

where \alpha =0 \ \ , \beta =0

F(x,\alpha ,\beta) \left|\begin{array}{cc}\frac{\alpha }{\beta } x^{\alpha-1e^-(x/\beta)^\alpha  &x\geq 0\\0&x

Then,

F(x,\alpha ,\beta )=\left|\begin{array}{cc}0&x

A) The probability that a specimen's lifetime is at most 250 is

P(X\leq 250)=F(250,2.7,220)\\\\=1-e^-^(250/220)^{2.7}\\\\=1-0.2436\\\\=0.7564

The probability that the specimen's life time is more than 300 is

P(X>300)=1-P(X\leq 300)\\\\=1-F(300;2.7,220)\\\\=1-(1-e^-^{(300/220)^{2.7}

=e^-^{(300/220)^{2.7}

= 0.0992

b)The probability of the specimen's lifetime is between 100 and 250

P(100

c) The value such that exactly 50% of all specimens have lifetimes exceeding that value is

P(X>x)=0.50\\\\1-P(X

x = 192.07

3. In order to become a member of
ExtremeBDS [4]

The equation in slope-intercept form that represents the total fee "y"

to become a member of the library-all-star-members club for "x"

months is y = 2 x + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear in the form of slope-intercept is y = m x + c, where

1. m is the slope of the line

2. c is the y-intercept

Slope of the line represents the monthly fee ⇒ paid every month

y-intercept represents the sign-up fee ⇒ paid once

To become a member of  the library-all-star-members club, there is

a $40 sign-up fee and a $2 monthly fee

∵ The monthly fee is $2

∴ m = 2

∵ The sign-up fee is $40

∴ c = 40

∴ The equation is y = 2 x + 40, where y is the total member fee for

   x months in the library-all-star-members club

The equation in slope-intercept form that represents the total fee "y"

to become a member of the library-all-star-members club for "x"

months is y = 2 x + 40
