Show how to determine whether (2x – 4) is a factor of the polynomial 2x^5 – 4x^4 + 2x^2 – 2x - 4

Mathematics

Answer:

See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

First put 2x-4 equal to 0 and solve it.

2x-4=0

2x=4

x=2

Now plug 2 into the polynomial and see if it equals to 0

In case it's not, then it is not a factor of it

2(2)^5 - 4(2)^4 + 2x^2 -2(2) - 4 = 0


So it's indeed a factor of the polynomial.


Hope this helps!

The time to fly between New York City and Chicago is uniformly distributed with a minimum of 120 minutes and a maximum of 150 mi
lara [203]

Answer:

a) 33.33%)

b) 135 minutes

c) 8.66 min

d) 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) the probability for a uniform distribution is

P(b<X<a) = (a-b)/(c-d) , where c and d are the maximum and minimum values

therefore the probability that the flight is more than 140 minutes ( and less than 150 since it is the maximum value)

P(140<X<150) = (a-b)/(c-d) = (150-140)/(150-120) = 10/30 = 1/3 (33.33%)

b) the mean (expected value) for a uniform probability distribution is

E(X) = (c+d)/2 = (120+150)/2 = 135 minutes

c)  the standard deviation for a uniform probability distribution is

σ²(X)= (c-d)²/12 = (150-120)²/12 = 75 min²

σ = √75 min² = 8.66 min

b) following the same procedure as in a)

P(120<X<135) = (a-b)/(c-d) = (135-120)/(150-120) = 15/30 = 1/2 (50%)

How do i solve this quadratic equation x²+6x+c
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

recall in a perfect square trinomial, the middle term is the tale-tell guy, we know the middle term is the product of 2 and the two other guys without the exponent, so in this case 6x = 2*√x² * √c.


\bf 6x=2\cdot \sqrt{x^2}\cdot \sqrt{c}\implies 6x=2\sqrt{x^2c}\implies 6x=2x\sqrt{c}\\\\\\\cfrac{6x}{2x}=\sqrt{c}\implies 3=\sqrt{c}\implies 3^2=c\implies 9=c
