Factor. x^3+5x^2-4x-20

Mathematics
1 answer:
givi [52]3 years ago
8 0

(x+5)(x+2)(x-2); For this we can use factoring by grouping. Simply split the equation in 2 and factor out any terms. Then combine both the coefficients and the expression in parentheses (which should be the same.

x^3+5x^2 . -4x-20

x^2(x+5) . -4(x+5)

After combining the 2 expressions, we have a difference of squares (x^2-4) meaning a subtraction expression and both the terms in it are perfect squares. To factor, put the square root of both terms plus and minus each other in separate equations.

The final answer should be (x+5)(x+2)(x-2)

The points in each table lie on a line. Find the slope of the line.
Valentin [98]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given table:

     x      -1    1   3   5

     y      -2   0   2  4

Unknown:

Slope of the line  = ?

Solution:

Each x and y pair on the table lies on the line. Therefore, we can use them to find the slope;

  Slope  = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }  

 let us take;

x₁ = -1        x₂ = 3

y₁ = -2        y₂ = 2

Insert the parameters and solve;

   Slope = \frac{2 - (-2)}{3- (-1)}   = \frac{4}{4}   = 1

The slope of the line is 1

12. A research study was conducted to estimate the number of white perch (a type of fish) in a Midwestern lake. 300 perch were c
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

If the scientist’s estimate about the number of fish in the lake is correct, then it is 44% likely to get 20 perch out of 50 with a tag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the proportion of tagged white perch in the Midwestern lake.

Scientist's claim is that p=\frac{300}{1000} =0.30

Let's test this hypothesis as:

  • H_{0}: p=0.30
  • H_{a}: p≠0.30

P-value of the test statistic will give the likelihood of getting 20 perch out of 50 with a tag if the scientist's estimate (H_{0}) is true.

Test statistic can be calculated using the equation

z=\frac{p(s)-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{N} } } where

  • p(s) is the sample proportion of white perch  (\frac{20}{50} =0.25)
  • p is the proportion assumed under null hypothesis. (0.30)
  • N is the sample size (50)

Then z=\frac{0.25-0.30}{\sqrt{\frac{0.30*0.70}{50} } }≈ -0.77

Two tailed p-value of the test statistic is ≈ 0.44

Thus if the scientist’s estimate about the number of fish in the lake is correct, (p=0.30) then it is 44% likely to get 20 perch out of 50 with a tag.

Measure all of the angles
Vesna [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

∠6 = 10x

∠7 = 5x

∠6 = ∠8

∠7 = ∠5

Find value of x

∠5 + ∠6 + ∠7 + ∠8 = 360

5x + 10x + 5x + 10x = 360

30x = 360

x = 360/30

x = 12°
