x = $\frac{1}{2}$ or x = - $\frac{4}{3}$

consider the factors of the product 6 × - 4 = - 24 which sum to the coefficient of the x- term ( + 5)

the factors are + 8 and - 3 ( split the middle term using these factors

6x² - 3x + 8x - 4 = 0 ( factor by grouping )

3x(2x - 1) + 4(2x - 1 ) ( take out common factor of (2x - 1) )

= (2x - 1)(3x + 4) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = $\frac{1}{2}$

3x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - $\frac{4}{3}$

6x² + 5x - 4 = 0

Multiply the first and last term (6x² * -4) to get -24x². Now find two factors of -24x² whose sum is the middle term (5x). -3x + 8x Replace 5x with -3x + 8x, then factor and solve.

6x² - 3x + 8x - 4 = 0

3x(2x - 1) +4(2x - 1) = 0

(3x + 4) (2x - 1) = 0

3x + 4 = 0 or 2x - 1 = 0

x = $-\frac{4}{3}$ or x = $\frac{1}{2}$

Note: you can also use the quadratic formula to find the foots.

There are 145 total pieces . you must first convert 20% to a decimal by placing a decimal point two places from the right. 20% = .20
then you mulitiply 145 x .20 = 29
So, Cathy owns 29 pieces of yellow clothing.

Answer:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.64})^2}=420.25$

And rounded up we have that n=421

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sample proportion have the following distribution:

$\hat p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.90=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-1.64, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.64$

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.04$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

We assume that a prior estimation for p would be $\hat p =0.5$ since we don't have any other info provided. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.64})^2}=420.25$

And rounded up we have that n=421
