Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)
GCF = 2x
Factor out the GCF (Write the GCF first and then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF.)
2x (2x^3/2x + 4x^2/2x + 6x/2x)
Simplify each term in parentheses
-2x(x^2 + 2x + 3)
<u>Answer D. -2(x^2 + 2x + 3)</u>
A. When you add to negative numbers, it is always negative. A positive + a positive is positive. In D, the answer is always 0. 1 + -1 is 0. In C, it varies. The bigger number not including the negative sign is the sign the number has. For example, -6 + 5 = -1. 6 is bigger than 5. You subtract the smaller number from the bigger number and that is the answer. You would then tack on the negative sign because it is -6, and 6 is bigger than 5.
Answer:
25.5 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean number of days (μ) = 22 days
Standard deviation (σ) = 6 days
Z-score for the 72nd percentile (according to tabulated values) = 0.583
The z-score for any number of days, X, is determined by:

The value of X that is greater than 72% of the trial times is:

Therefore, 72% of all of these types of trials are completed within 25.5 days.
