Answer:

(x + 3)(3x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² + 5x - 12

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 3 × - 12 = - 36 and sum = + 5

The factors are + 9 and - 4

Use these factors to split the x- term

3x² + 9x - 4x - 12 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 3x(x + 3) - 4(x + 3) ← factor out (x + 3) from each term

= (x + 3)(3x - 4)

Thus

3x² + 5x - 12 = (x + 3)(3x - 4) ← in factored form

Variables y and x have proportional relationship and y=21 when x=14 what is the value of x when y=12
Lilit [14]

The value of x is 8 when y = 12 if variables x and y have proportional relationship.

According to the given question.

Variables y and x have proportional relationship.

⇒ y ∝ x

Let k be the constant of proportionality.

⇒ y = kx

Also, it is given that

y = 21 when x = 14

Substitute the value of y = 21 and x = 14 in y = kx to find the value of k.

21 = k(14)

⇒  k = 21/14

⇒ k = 3/2

Therefore, the value of x when y = 12

y = kx

⇒ 12 = (3/2)x

⇒ 12 × 2 = 3x

⇒ 24 = 3x

⇒ x = 24/3

⇒ x = 8

Hence, the value of x is 8 when y = 12.

Use the following information to answer the question. Bellei Extravecchio Balsamico Tradizionale is a very expensive brand of ba
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The observed value of the chi-square statistic is 34.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question';

Calculate the observed value of the chi-square statistic

The chi-square statistic will be;

∑_{i}[ ( O_{i} - E_{i})² / E_{i} ]

here O_{i} is observed frequency of _{i}th class

E_{i} is expected frequency of _{i}th class

_{i}  = 1, 2 which denote the class of food experts who guess correctly and who didn't guess correctly

so  

∈_{i} = n × probability of not guessing correctly = 168 × 2/3 = 112

∈1 = n × probability of guessing correctly 168 × 1/3  = 56

so

∑_{i}[ ( O_{i} - E_{i})² / E_{i} ] = [ ( 92 - 56)² / 56 ] + [ ( 76 - 112)² / 112 ]

= 1296/56 + 1296/112

= 23.14 + 11.57

= 34.71

Therefore, the observed value of the chi-square statistic is 34.71
