i think that The correct answer is 1. It is given that one factor of the quadratic expression is 3x + 4. Thus, 12x2 + ax − 20 = (3x + 4)(mx + p), where a, m, and p are integers.

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x + 4)(px + q) = 12x^2 + ax - 20

3px^2 + 3qx + 4px + 4q = 12x^2 + ax - 20

3px^2 = 12x^2

p = 4

4q = -20

q = -5

px + q = 4x - 5

(3x + 4)(4x - 5) =

= 12x^2 - 15x + 16x - 20

= 12x^2 + x - 20

= 12x^2 + ax - 20

ax = x

a = 1

Answer the two questions below
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

3: No

4: 25

Step-by-step explanation:

3: It won't because not everyone is the same height and there will be variation in the mean height.

4: A larger sample size will give a more accurate representation of the population, where as a sample size of 5 is much more likely to have a higher percentage of outliers, and each outlier matters much more in finding the mean. In a sample size of 25, each outlier matters much less.
