Answer:

The factored expression is 2(x² + 5)(x + 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

We can use a factoring technique referred to as "grouping" to solve this problem.

Grouping is used for polynomials with four terms as a quick and easy factoring method to remove the GCF and get down to the initial terms that create the expression/function.

Grouping works in the following matter:

  1. Given equation: ax³ + bx² + cx + d
  2. Group a & b, c & d: (ax³ + bx²) + (cx + d)
  3. Pull GCFs and factors

Let's apply these steps to the given equation.

  1. Given equation: 2x³ + 6x² + 10x + 30
  2. Group a & b, c & d: (2x³ + 6x²) + (10x + 30)
  3. Pull GCFs and factors: 2x²(x + 3) + 10(x + 3)

As you'll see, we have a common term with both sides of the expression. This term, (x + 3), is a valuable asset to the factoring process. This is one of the factors for our expression.

Now, we use our GCFs to create another factor.

  1. List GCFs: 2x², 10
  2. Create a term: (2x² + 10)

Finally, we'll need to simplify this one by taking another GCF, 2.

  1. Pull GCF: 2(x² + 5)

Now that we have this term, we need to understand that this <em>could</em> also be factored further using imaginary numbers, but it is also acceptable to leave it in this form.

Therefore, we have our final factors: 2(x² + 5) and (x + 3).

However, when we factor, we place all of our terms together. This leaves us with the final answer: 2(x² + 5)(x + 3).

An individual who has automobile insurance from a certain company is randomly selected. Let Y be the number of mov- ing violatio
Rudik [331]

Answer:

a) E(y) = 0.8

b) The average subcharge is $165

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following distribution in the question:

y:           0        1        2         3

P(y):   0.50   0.25   0.20   0.05

a) E(y)

E(y) = \displaystyle\sum y_iP(y_i)\\\\E(y) = 0(0.50)+1(0.25)+2(0.20)+3(0.05)\\E(y) = 0.8

b) Expected value of subcharge

Subcharge =

\$110y^2

Expected value of subcharge =

=110E(y^2)\\\\=110\displaystyle\sum y_i^2P(y_i)\\\\=110(0^2(0.50)+1^2(0.25)+2^2(0.20)+3^2(0.05))\\=110(1.5)=165

Thus, the average subcharge is $165

A train brakes from 40 m/s to a stop in 5 sec. What is the acceleration of the train?
Basile [38]

Answer:

To find the acceleration we have its formula as

v-u/t where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity and t is time

So substituting the values,

0-40/5 m/s²

-40/5 = -8 m/s²

Thus the acceleration is -8m/s²

4. Jonathan takes his dog to be groomed. The fee to groom the dog is $80 plus 6.75% tax.
frutty [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

Tax charge

80 × 6.75/100 = 5.4

Cost + tax charge

80 + 5.4 = 85.4

Tip (15% of cost and tax)

85.4 × 15/100 = 12.81

(Cost + tax charge + tip)

85.40 + 12.81 = 98.21

therefore, $95 is not enough.
