Ginny factored 6x2 – 31x – 30 as shown: ac = –180 and b = 31 36(–5) = –180 and 36 + (–5) = 31 6x2 + 36x – 5x – 30 6x(x + 6) – 5(

x + 6) (x + 6)(6x – 5) Determine if Ginny factored correctly. If not, explain where she made an error. Ginny made a mistake in step 1 when she identified b = 31. It should be b = –31. Ginny was correct until step 3 when she used 36 and –5 as the coefficients of x. Ginny was correct until step 4 when she incorrectly factored the GCF from 5x – 30. Ginny factored the trinomial correctly.

Answer:

Ginny made a mistake in step 1 when she identified b = 31. It should be b=-31

Step-by-step explanation:

Ginny factored 6x^2 -31x -30 as shown:

ac = –180 and

b = 31

36(–5) = –180 and 36 + (–5) = 31

6x^2 + 36x – 5x – 30

6x(x + 6) – 5(x + 6)

(x + 6)(6x – 5)

b is the coefficient of x and from the trinomial 6x^2 -31x -30, b=-31.

Therefore Ginny made a mistake in step 1 when she identified b = 31. It should be b = –31.

The correct steps are: 6x^2 -31x -30:

ac = –180 and

b = -31

36(–5) = –180 and -36+5 = -31

6x^2-36x +5x -30  

6x(x-6)+5(x-6)

(x-6)(6x+5)

d) You have a <u>difference of squares</u>:

49y² - 9 = (7y)² - 3²

Recall the identity,

a² - b² = (a - b) (a + b)

So,

49y² - 9 = (7y - 3) (7y + 3)

e) Pull out the common factor 3 from each term:

3x² - 3x - 90 = 3 (x² - x - 30)

Now use the <u>sum-product method</u>. Notice that we can write 30 = 5 • 6, and 5 - 6 = 1, so

3x² - 3x - 90 = 3 (x + 5) (x - 6)

f) Same as in (e), use the <u>sum-product method</u>. Notice that 42 = 7 • 6, and -7 - 6 = -13, so

x² - 13x + 42 = (x - 7) (x - 6)

The weight of items produced by a machine is normally distributed with a mean of 8 ounces and a standard deviation of 2 ounces.
Wittaler [7]

<span>First we calculate z using the formula:

z = (x - μ)/σ</span>

Where:

x = our variable, 10

μ = mean, 8

σ = standard dev, 2

Substituting known values:<span>
z = (10 - 8)/2
z = 2/2
z = 1

Using the tables of the normal distribution to find the p-value with z = 1

p = 0.8413

Since we want "greater than 10”, we need to subtract the probability from 1 therefore

p* = 1 - 0.8413 = <span>0.1587</span></span>
