Factor by grouping. Group up the terms into pairs, factor each pair, then factor out the overall GCF.
x^3 + 2x^2 - 16x - 32
(x^3 + 2x^2) + (-16x-32) ... pair up terms
x^2(x + 2) + (-16x - 32) ... factor x^2 from the first group
x^2(x + 2) - 16(x + 2) ... factor -16 from the second group
(x^2 - 16)(x + 2) .... factor out (x+2)
(x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 2) .... Use the difference of squares to factor x^2-16
---------------------------
The original expression completely factors to (x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 2)
The three factors are x - 4 and x + 4 and x + 2

Outcome Red Blue Green Yellow
Frequency 10 5 13 7 total: 35 trials
experimental probability of Yellow: 7/35 =1/5 or 20%
experimental probability of Blue or Red: 5/35 + 10/35 = 15/35 = 3/7 or 42.86%
The sample is biased. This is because all he interviewed are employees of the company. They are more inclined to give a positive feedback regardless of their true opinion because they want to retain their jobs.
The answer is 124 deg. because all the equation is 3x+40=7x-72 and when you solve for x, you get 28. Then all you have to do is plug 28 into the equation 3x+40 and you get 124..:)):
