Factoring x2-6x+5

The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -6x its coefficient is -6 .
The last term, "the constant", is +5

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 5 = 5

Step-2 : Find two factors of 5 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -6 .

-5 + -1 = -6 That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -5 and -1
x2 - 5x - 1x - 5

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (x-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x-1) • (x-5)
Which is the desired factorization

Equation at the end of step
1
:

(x - 1) • (x - 5) = 0

Theory - Roots of a product

2.1 A product of several terms equals zero.

When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.

We shall now solve each term = 0 separately

In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product

Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.2 Solve : x-1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides of the equation :
x = 1

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.3 Solve : x-5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides of the equation :
x = 5

Supplement : Solving Quadratic Equation Directly

Solving x2-6x+5 = 0 directly
Earlier we factored this polynomial by splitting the middle term. let us now solve the equation by Completing The Square and by using the Quadratic Formula

Parabola, Finding the Vertex:

3.1 Find the Vertex of y = x2-6x+5

Parabolas have a highest or a lowest point called the Vertex . Our parabola opens up and accordingly has a lowest point (AKA absolute minimum) . We know this even before plotting "y" because the coefficient of the first term, 1 , is positive (greater than zero).

Each parabola has a vertical line of symmetry that passes through its vertex. Because of this symmetry, the line of symmetry would, for example, pass through the midpoint of the two x -intercepts (roots or solutions) of the parabola. That is, if the parabola has indeed two real solutions.

Parabolas can model many real life situations, such as the height above ground, of an object thrown upward, after some period of time. The vertex of the parabola can provide us with information, such as the maximum height that object, thrown upwards, can reach. For this reason we want to be able to find the coordinates of the vertex.

For any parabola,Ax2+Bx+C,the x -coordinate of the vertex is given by -B/(2A) . In our case the x coordinate is 3.0000

Plugging into the parabola formula 3.0000 for x we can calculate the y -coordinate :
y = 1.0 * 3.00 * 3.00 - 6.0 * 3.00 + 5.0
or y = -4.000

Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :

Root plot for : y = x2-6x+5
Axis of Symmetry (dashed) {x}={ 3.00}
Vertex at {x,y} = { 3.00,-4.00}
x -Intercepts (Roots) :
Root 1 at {x,y} = { 1.00, 0.00}
Root 2 at {x,y} = { 5.00, 0.00}

Solve the formula for the indicated variable <br> A=1/2bh solve for h
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

h=A*2b

Step-by-step explanation:

A=1/2bh

1/2bh=A

1/2bh÷1/2bh=A÷1/2bh (the 1/2b will cancel with the 1/2b on the left leaving h)

h=A*2b

The brand manager for a brand toothpaste must plan a campaign designed to increase brand recognition. He wants to first determin
bulgar [2K]

We need to find out how many adults must the brand manager survey in order to be 90% confident that his estimate is within five percentage points of the true population percentage.

From the given data we know that our confidence level is 90%. From Standard Normal Table we know that the critical level at 90% confidence level is 1.645. In other words, Z_{Critical}=1.645.

We also know that E=5% or E=0.05

Also, since, \hat{p} is not given, we will assume that \hat{p}=0.5. This is because, the formula that we use will have \hat{p}(1-\hat{p}) in the expression and that will be maximum only when \hat{p}=0.5. (For any other value of \hat{p}, we will get a value less than 0.25. For example if, \hat{p} is 0.4, then 1-\hat{p}=0.6 and thus, \hat{p}(1-\hat{p})=0.24.).

We will now use the formula

n=(\frac{Z_{Critical}}{E})^2\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})

We will now substitute all the data that we have and we will get

n=(\frac{1.645}{0.05})^2\times0.5(1-0.5)

n=(32.9)^2\times0.25

n=270.6025

which can approximated to n=271.

So, the brand manager needs a sample size of 271

Vanyuwa [196]

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence} \\\\ a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad  \begin{cases} n=n^{th}\ term\\ a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\ d=\textit{common difference}\\ \hrulefill\\[0.5em] a_3=8\\ n=3\\ d=5 \end{cases} \\\\\\ a_3=a_1+(3-1)5\implies 8=a_1+(2)5 \\\\\\ 8=a_1+10\implies -2=a_1 \\\\\\ \begin{cases} a_1=-2\\ d=5 \end{cases}\implies a_n=-2+(n-1)d
