Answer:

(x - 1)(3x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² + x - 4

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 × - 4 = -12 and sum = + 1

The factors are - 3 and + 4

Use these factors to split the x- term

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

= 3x(x - 1) + 4(x - 1) ← factor out (x - 1) from each term

= (x - 1)(3x + 4) ← in factored form

Answer:

(3x + 4)(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 + x - 4

use middle term break method

we need two number which gives 12 when multiplied and 1 when subtracted

3x^2 + (4 - 3)x - 4

3x^2 + 4x - 3x - 4

x(3x + 4) -1(3x + 4)

(3x + 4)(x - 1)

A 50-gallon rain barrel is filled to capacity. It drains at a rate of 10 gallons per minute. Write an equation to show how much

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The quantity of water drain after x min is 50 $(0.9)^{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Total capacity of rain barrel = 50 gallon

The rate of drain = 10 gallon per minutes

Let The quantity of water drain after x min = y

Now, according to question

The quantity of water drain after x min = Initial quantity of water × $(1-\dfrac{\textrm rate}{100})^{\textrm time}$

I.e The quantity of water drain after x min = 50 gallon × $(1-\dfrac{\textrm 10}{100})^{\textrm x}$

or, The quantity of water drain after x min = 50 gallon × $(0.9)^{x}$

Hence the quantity of water drain after x min is 50 $(0.9)^{x}$ Answer

Maggie is practicing her penalty kicks for her upcoming soccer game. During the practice, she attempts 10 penalty kicks. If each

arlik [135]

Answer:

$P(X \geq 8)= P(X=8) +P(X=9) +P(X=10)$

And we can find the individual probabilities like this:

$P(X=8)=(10C8)(0.65)^0 (1-0.65)^{10-8}=0.176$

$P(X=9)=(10C9)(0.65)^1 (1-0.65)^{10-9}=0.072$

$P(X=10)=(10C10)(0.65)^2 (1-0.65)^{10-10}=0.013$

And adding we got:

$P(X \geq 8)= P(X=8) +P(X=9) +P(X=10)= 0.176+0.072+0.013=0.262$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.65)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

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

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to find this probability:

$P(X \geq 8)= P(X=8) +P(X=9) +P(X=10)$

And we can find the individual probabilities like this:

$P(X=8)=(10C8)(0.65)^0 (1-0.65)^{10-8}=0.176$

$P(X=9)=(10C9)(0.65)^1 (1-0.65)^{10-9}=0.072$

$P(X=10)=(10C10)(0.65)^2 (1-0.65)^{10-10}=0.013$

And adding we got:

$P(X \geq 8)= P(X=8) +P(X=9) +P(X=10)= 0.176+0.072+0.013=0.262$

The histogram below shows the distribution of the assets (in millions of dollars) of 71 companies. Does the distribution appear

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Yes, the assets appear to follow a normal distribution, the values are concentrated in the center and taper off towards the ends

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution shown above is normal as it exhibits symmetry. This means thatvtge values are concentrated in the middle with the peak so situated in the middle of the distribution which is exactly what is displayed above. As we move towards either side of the center, the values begin to decrease and we have the tail at either side of the midpoint and not on one side of the distribution.

Tamika built a large play area in the shape of a rectangle. The length of one side was 8 meters, and the length of the other sid

ryzh [129]

The dimensions of the rectangle given are

length = 14 meters

Width = 8 meters

The perimeter of the rectangle is given by the sum of its sides

The rectangle has to opposite sides of 14 meters and two opposite sides of 8 meters

Hence adding up the 4 sides we get

$8+14+8+14 = 44$

Hence option B is the right answer
