Factor of x^3-x^2-24x-36

Basile [38]3 years ago

The trial and error method is used to find an initial factor:
If we let f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 and all we have to do is sub' in values of x until
f(x) = 0, we can use this to find an initial factor by the factor theorem:
f(1) = (1)³ - (1)² - 24(1) - 36 = -60
f(2) = (2)³ - (2)² - 24(2) - 36 = -80
f(5) = (5)³ - (5)² - 24(5) - 36 = -56
*** f(6) = (6)³ - (6)² - 24(6) - 36 = 0 ***

f(6) = 0 so (x - 6) is a factor of f(x).
This means that: f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 = (x - 6)(ax² + bx + c).
To find a,b and c, use long division (or inspection) to divide x³ - x² - 24x - 36 by x - 6.
The other 2 factors of f(x) can then be found by factorizing the
ax² + bx + c quadratic the way you would with any other quadratic (i.e. by quadratic formula, CTS or inspection).

Brianna received an overall IQ score of 117 on the Wechsler Scale. This means that Brianna has scored approximately____________
Tresset [83]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that the correct option is:

  • D. 1; 100

In a <em>normal distribution</em> with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.

In this problem:

  • The mean on the Wechsler Scale is of 100, hence \mu = 100.
  • The standard deviation is of 17, hence \sigma = 17.
  • Brianna had an score of 117, hence X = 117

Then:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{117 - 100}{17}

Z = 1

Hence, the option d is correct.

Bruce is 4 times as old as Indy. 6 years ago, Bruce was 6 times as old as Indy. how old is bruce now?
goblinko [34]
4i = b
6(i-6) = b-6

6(i-6) = 4i - 6
6i - 36 = 4i - 6
2i - 36 = -6
2i = 30
i = 15 years old
b = 60 years old

Check:
15 * 4 = 60
9 * 6 = 54 :)
