3x^3-10x^2+x-2 over x^2
Allisa [31]3 years ago
4 0
The answer is 1/x+5.

To get this:
    <u>x - 2</u>          ⇒     <u>x - 2</u>      
x² + 3x - 10    (x - 2)(x + 5)
Cancel out any repeating factors. In this case, we have (x - 2);
     <u>x - 2</u>         ⇒       <u>1</u>
(x - 2)(x + 5)         x + 5

<em>Hope this helps.</em>

A catering company’s recipe for salad uses a ratio of 2 c of dressing to 4 lb of vegetables. Draw a model for the ratio. Write t
s2008m [1.1K]
The ratio of dressing to vegetable in its reduced form is determined by dividing the amount of dressing by the amount of vegetables. This will give us the answer of,
                                       2 c / 4 lb
In its simplest form, we divide both the numerator and denominator by 2 and the final answer would be,
                                              1 c / 2 lb

34​% of college students say they use credit cards because of the rewards program. You randomly select 10 college students and a
finlep [7]

Answer:

a) There is a 18.73% probability that exactly two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

b) There is a 71.62% probability that more than two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

c) There is a 82% probability that between two and five students, inclusive, use credit cards because of the rewards program.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only two possible outcomes. Either the student use credit cards because of the rewards program, or they use for other reason. So, we can solve this problem by the binomial distribution.

Binomial probability

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And \pi is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

10 student are sampled, so n = 10

34% of college students say they use credit cards because of the rewards program, so \pi = 0.34

(a) exactly​ two

This is P(X = 2).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.34)^{2}.(0.66)^{8} = 0.1873

There is a 18.73% probability that exactly two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

(b) more than​ two

This is P(X > 2).

Either a value is larger than two, or it is smaller of equal. The sum of the decimal probabilities must be 1. So:

P(X \leq 2) + P(X > 2) = 1

P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2)

In which

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

So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.34)^{0}.(0.66)^{10} = 0.0157

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.34)^{1}.(0.66)^{9} = 0.0808

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.34)^{2}.(0.66)^{8} = 0.1873

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0157 + 0.0808 + 0.1873 = 0.2838

P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2) = 1 - 0.2838 = 0.7162

There is a 71.62% probability that more than two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

(c) between two and five inclusive

This is:

P = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.34)^{2}.(0.66)^{8} = 0.1873

P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.34)^{3}.(0.66)^{7} = 0.2573

P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.34)^{4}.(0.66)^{6} = 0.2320

P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.34)^{5}.(0.66)^{5} = 0.1434

P = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.1873 + 0.2573 + 0.2320 + 0.1434 = 0.82

There is a 82% probability that between two and five students, inclusive, use credit cards because of the rewards program.
