Class I
Trailer hitches are divided into different classes on the basis of the weight that they will be supporting. The classes are Class I - V, after which the classes are Xtra Duty and finally the Commercial Duty class, which has the ability to support 20,000 lbs.
13) As they’ve given the zeros, you can use those to create factors. Since the zeros are x=-1, x=-3, and x=4, by making the right side 0 in each equation, you get the factors (x+1), (x+3), and (x-4). Then, you can multiply those factors using box method or FOIL or whichever method you prefer. By multiplying (x+1) and (x+3), I got x^2+4x+3. Then, I multiplied that by (x-4) to get x^3-13x-12, which is your final answer.
14) Using the same steps in 13, I found the factors. As the zeros are x=-6 and x=0, I got the factors (x) and (x+6). Then, I multiplied them and got x^2+6x, which is the answer.
15) x=1, x=1, x=2. These become the factors (x-1), (x-1), and (x-2). Then, by multiplying (x-1) and (x-1) you get x^2-2x+1. Multiply that by (x-2) to get your final answer, x^3-4x^2+5x-2.
16) Zeros are x=-1, x=5, and x=-2. You get the factors (x+1), (x-5), and (x+2). Multiply (x+1) and (x-5) to get x^2-4x-5. Multiply that by the other factor, (x+2), to get your final answer, x^3-2x^2-13x-10.
Answer:
0.0668 = 6.68% probability that the height of a randomly selected tree is as tall as mine or shorter.
0.0228 = 2.28% probability that the full height of a randomly selected tree is at least as tall as hers.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question, we have that:

A tree of this type grows in my backyard, and it stands 132.3 feet tall. Find the probability that the height of a randomly selected tree is as tall as mine or shorter.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 132.3. So



has a pvalue of 0.0668
0.0668 = 6.68% probability that the height of a randomly selected tree is as tall as mine or shorter.
My neighbor also has a tree of this type growing in her backyard, but hers stands 143.5 feet tall. Find the probability that the full height of a randomly selected tree is at least as tall as hers.
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 143.5. So



has a pvalue of 0.9772
1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228
0.0228 = 2.28% probability that the full height of a randomly selected tree is at least as tall as hers.
X= -2/5
SOLUTION
25x^2 + 20x + 4 = 0
(5x + 2)^2 = 0
5x + 2 = 0
x= -2/5
Hope this helps! :))
