Answer: (3a + 1) (a + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of factorization.

It is like "splitting" an expression into a multiplication of simpler expressions. Factoring is also the opposite of Expanding.

Solve:

Given = 3a² + 10a + 3

STEP ONE: separate 3a² into two terms

STEP TWO: separate 3 into two terms

STEP THREE: match the four terms in ways that when doing cross-multiplication, the result will give us 10a.

3a 1

a 3

When cross multiply, 3a × 3 + 1 × a = 10a

STEP FOUR: combine the expression horizontally to get the final factorized expression.

3a ⇒ 1

a ⇒ 3

(3a + 1) (a + 3)

Hope this helps!! :)

Using the power of zero property, we find that:

a) The simplification of the given expression is 1.

b) Since , equivalent expressions are: and .

--------------------------------

The power of zero property states that any number that is not zero elevated to zero is 1, that is:

Thus, at item a, , thus the simplification is .

At item b, equivalent expressions are found elevating non-zero numbers to 0, thus and .

According to national data, 5.1% of burglaries are cleared with arrests. A new detective is assigned to six different burglaries

blagie [28]

Answer:

26.95% probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest

Step-by-step explanation:

For each burglary, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is cleared, or it is not. The probability of a burglary being cleared is independent of other burglaries. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

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

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

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

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

5.1% of burglaries are cleared with arrests.

This means that $p = 0.051$

A new detective is assigned to six different burglaries.

This means that $n = 6$

What is the probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest?

Either none are cleared, or at least one is. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 100% = 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 1)$

Then

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.051)^{0}.(0.949)^{6} = 0.7305$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.7305 = 0.2695$

26.95% probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest

Marco starts with a population of 10 bacteria that doubles every day for a number of days, d. He writes the expression 10(2d) to

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Marco- 10 is the starting value of the population. 2 is the growth rate of "double each day" with d as an exponent.

Isabella- 1 is the starting population. 1+0.2=1.2 is the rate at which it grows each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marco's equation should be $10(2^{d})$ since the bacteria double each day. 10 is the starting value of the population. 2 is the growth rate of "double each day" with d as an exponent. This will double each day because:

Day 1 is $2^{1}=2$

Day 2 is $2^{2}=4$

Day 3 is $2^{3}=8$

Day 4 is $2^{4}=16$

You'll notice the value doubles each day.

Isabella has a different equation because her population increases by a percentage. We use the simple interest formula to calculate the bacteria's daily increase or interest.

1(1+0.2)d

1 is the starting population.

1+0.2=1.2 is the rate at which it grows each day.
