Answer:
The answer: The factors are (2x-9) and (x+6).
The Problem:
Factor
Step-by-step explanation:
So I'm going to do trial factors using the choices to aid me.
Factored form for this problem if it exist will be in the form:
.
In general this is what it would look like if we factored any quadratic in terms of (given the quadratic is not prime but technically you could factor even over the complex numbers).
Let's look at:
We want to choose such that when you multiply them you get 2. Well those would have to be 2 and 1.
we want to choose such that when you multiply them you get -54. Based on the choices we want to get with -9 and 6, or 9 and -6. We don't know the order we want to choose it in either.
For example which of these would work:
We are going to consider only the outer and inner of FOIL since we already know the first times the first is and the last times the last is
.
Let's test the first one:
Outer: 2x(9)=18x
Inner: -6(x)=-6x
------------------------ADD!
18x-6x=12x
The first choice did not give us the middle term 3x.
Trying the second one would give us the opposite since they are in the same form as previous just the + and - are switched.
Let's look at the third one:
Outer: 2x(6)=12x
Inner: -9(x)=-9x
--------------------------ADD!
12x-9x=3x
This is the winner.
The answer: The factors are (2x-9) and (x+6).
The number of bins in the histogram determines the width of the bins and
the frequency (number of members) in a bin.
- Please find attached the graph of the histogram of Gretchen's data created with MS Excel.
Given:
The table from Gretchen's data is presented as follows;
The required number of bins = 8 bins
The steps to create the histogram using MS Excel;
- Enter the 15 dataset for the number of days as presented in the above table in a column on the worksheet.
- Select the dataset entered into the cells from above then select the Insert menu.
- In the Chart section of the insert menu click on the Histogram icon to view the quick options for histograms type charts.
- Select the Histogram option from the drop down menu from the quick options for histograms, to create an histogram chart.
- Right-click the histogram created from the previous step, then select Format Chart Area from the pop up menu.
- In the Format Chart Area task pane, click on the arrow next to Chart Options, then select Horizontal Axis from the options menu.
- Click on the histogram icon under Axis Options, then click on arrow button besides Axis Option sub menu, to display the axis options.
- Click on the Number of bins radio button then enter 8, to create an histogram having 8 bins.
The histogram of Gretchen's data having eight bins created with MS Excel is attached.
