Is X +3 a factor of 2X squared minus 2X -12

Mathematics
1 answer:
Fantom [35]2 years ago
3 0

Answer: No, x+3 is not a factor of 2x^2-2x-12

========================================================

Explanation:

Let p(x) = 2x^2 - 2x - 12

If we divide p(x) over (x-k), then the remainder is p(k). I'm using the remainder theorem. A special case of the remainder theorem is that if p(k) = 0, then x-k is a factor of p(x).

Compare x+3 = x-(-3) to x-k to find that k = -3.

Plug x = -3 into the function

p(x) = 2x^2 - 2x - 12

p(-3) = 2(-3)^2 - 2(-3) - 12

p(-3) = 12

We don't get 0 as a result so x+3 is not a factor of p(x) = 2x^2 - 2x - 12

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

Let's see what happens when we factor p(x)

2x^2 - 2x - 12

2(x^2 - x - 6)

2(x - 3)(x + 2)

The factors here are 2, x-3 and x+2

Porphyrin is a pigment in blood protoplasm and other body fluids that is significant in body energy and storage. Let x be a rand
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

<u>Question 1:</u>

<u>(a) </u>P(x<60) = 0.9236

<u>(b) </u>P(x>16) = 0.9564

<u>(c) </u>P(16<x<60) = 0.88

<u>(d) </u>P (x>60) = 0.0764

<u />

<u>Question 2:</u>

<u>(a) </u>P(x<3) = 0.0668

<u>(b) </u>P(x>7) = 0.0062

<u>(c) </u>P(3<x<7) = 0.927

<u />

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Question 1:</u>

x = no. of mg of porphyrin per deciliter of blood.

μ = 40

σ = 14

(a) We need to compute P(x<60). We need to find the z-score using the normal distribution formula:

z = (x - μ)/σ

P(x<60) = P((x - μ)/σ < (60 - 40)/14)

             = P(z < 20/14)

             = P(z<1.43)

Using the normal distribution probability table we can find the value of p at z=1.43.

P(z<1.43) = 0.9236

so, P(x<60) = 0.9236

(b) P(x>16) = P(z>(16-40)/14)

                 = P(z>-1.71)

                 = 1 - P(z<-1.71)

                 = 1 - 0.0436

    P(x>16) = 0.9564

(c) P(16<x<60) = P((16-40)/14) < x < (60-40)/14)

                        = P(-1.71 < z < 1.43)

This probability can be calculated as: P(z<1.43) - P(z<-1.71)

                                         P(16<x<60) = 0.9236 - 0.0436

                                         P(16<x<60) = 0.88

(d) P(x>60) = 1 - P(x<60)

     we have calculated P(x<60) in part (a) so,

    P(x>60) = 1 - 0.9236

    P (x>60) = 0.0764

<u>Question 2:</u>                              

μ = 4.5 mm

σ = 1.0 mm

In this question, we will again compute the z-scores and then find the probability from the normal distribution table.

(a) P(x<3) = P(z<(3-4.5)/1)

                = P(z<-1.5)

     P(x<3) = 0.0668

(b) P(x>7) = 1 - P(x<7)

               = 1 - P(z<(7-4.5)/1)

               = 1 - P(z<2.5)

               = 1 - 0.9938

    P(x>7) = 0.0062

(c) P(3<x<7) = P(x<7) - P(x<3)

  we have computed both of these probabilities in parts (a) and (b) so,

    P(3<x<7) = 0.9938 - 0.0668

    P(3<x<7) = 0.927

Which of the following (x,y) pairs is the solution for the system of equations x+2y=4 and -2x+y=7
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

(-2 ,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Rewrite first equation

x = 4 - 2y

-2x + y = 7

Step 2: Substitution

-2(4 - 2y) + y = 7

Step 3: Solve <em>y</em>

-8 + 4y + y = 7

-8 + 5y = 7

5y = 15

y = 3

Step 3: Plug in <em>y</em> to find <em>x</em>

x + 2(3) = 4

x + 6 = 4

x = -2

You take away the 4 from the 8 which is equal to 4 then you have to barrow from the 2 to make the 4 to 14 and when you    wait you are basically right your calculation is right
