Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x² + x - 1 = 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
2x² + x - 3 = 0
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 = 2 × - 3 = - 6 and sum = + 1
The factors are - 2 and + 3
Use these factors to split the x- term
2x² - 2x + 3x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
2x(x - 1) + 3(x - 1) = 0 ← factor out (x - 1) from each term
(x - 1)(2x + 3) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 3 ⇒ x = - 
Answer:
It would be 2 whole pizza left for the adults. the improper fraction would be 2 1/2 or 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
A trinomial is a polynomial with three terms. It can be determined if it is a difference of two squares when you factor it.
The resulting factor of a trinomial that is a difference of two squares is: a²<span> – b</span>²<span> = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b)</span>
You will notice that the middle term is missing. This means that the middle term zeroes out as a result of having the same number of different signs (+ and -)
Answer:
A) Yes
B) No
C) No
D) No
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Yes, every telephone number that could occur in that community will have an equal chance of being generated because the telephone numbers were generated randomly.
B) No, this method of generating telephone numbers would not result in a simple random sample (SRS) of local residences because the first three digits were generated in a different random way than the last four digits.
C) No, this method would not generate an SRS of local voters because not everybody will be pick up when they call because they may not be at home or they may be too busy to pick up.
D) No, this method is not unbiased in generating samples of households because there will be nonresponse bias since not everyone will pick up the call
Answer:
point A.
Step-by-step explanation:
B would be 2.5 and point a is in the middle or -4 and -3 which would make it -3.5
