Melody is factoring the expression x^3 - 2x^2 + 4x - 8. Her first two steps are shown.

x^3 - 2x^2 + 4x - 8 = x^2(x - 2) + 4(x - 2)
= (x^2 + 4)(x - 2)

What should Melody do next to finish factoring the expression?

A. Melody has completely factored the expression.

B. Melody should rewrite (x^2 + 4) as (x - 2)^2

C. Melody should rewrite (x^2 + 4) as (x - 2)(x + 2)

D. Melody should rewrite (x^2 + 4) as (x + 2)^2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A, melody completed factoring

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Melody has completely factored the expression which is correct option(A).

What is expression?

Expressions is the defined as mathematical statements that have a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers.

Given the expression,

⇒ x³ - 2x² + 4x - 8

⇒ x²(x - 2) + 4(x - 2)

⇒ (x² + 4)(x - 2)

So, factors of given expression are (x² + 4)  and (x - 2).

Hence, Melody has completely factored the expression.

An isosceles triangle is shown. Which two angles must be congruent?

Answers

Answer:

C. Angle I and Angle H

Step-by-step explanation:

The congruncy lines on either side of the triangle show that.

An isosceles triangle has two congruent angles.

The two angles that must be congruent are: [tex]\mathbf{\angle I \cong \angle H}[/tex]

From the figure, we observe that side lengths HJ and HI are congruent.

The above highlight means that: the angles at the other points of HJ and HI.

The common point of HJ and HI is H, while the other points are J and I

So, the angles at J and I are congruent.

Hence, the correct option is (c)

Emma is 10 years younger than Joseph. Joseph's age 6 years from
now will exceed twice Emma's age 2 years ago by 3 years.
How old is Em ma and Joseph now?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let Emma age be x now

Let Joseph age be y now

If Emma is 10 years younger than Joseph, then x = y-10

six years from now:

Emma will be x+6 years

Joseph will be y+6 years

If Joseph's age 6 years from  now will exceed twice Emma's age 2 years ago by 3 years, then:

y+6 = 2(x+6-2) + 3

y+6 = 2(x+4)+3

y + 6 = 2x+11

y + 6 = 2(y-10)+!1

y + 6 = 2y-20+11

y - 2y = -9-6

-y = -15

y = 15

Since x = y -10

x = 15-10

x = 5

Hence Emma is 5years old now and Joseph is 15years old now

Angle DBC =  45 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ray BD bisects ABC, then it divides it in two angles of equal measure. The we can write the following equality:

angle ABD = Angle DBC

9 x + 9 = 12 x - 3

solve for x by subtracting 9x from both sides,

9 = 3 x - 3

and adding 3 to both sides:

9 + 3 = 3 x

12 = 3 x

divide both side by 3 to isolate "x":

12/3 = x

x = 4

And now we can find the value of each angle:

Angle ABD = 9 x + 9 = 9 (4) + 9 = 36 + 9 = 45 degrees

Angle DBC = 12 x - 3 = 12 (4) - 3 = 18 - 3 = 45 degrees

In a certain section of Southern California, the distribution of monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment has a mean of $2,325 and a standard deviation of $270. The distribution of the monthly rent does not follow the normal distribution. In fact, it is positively skewed. What is the probability of selecting a sample of 50 one-bedroom apartments and finding the mean to be at least $2,245 per month

Answers

Answer:

0.982

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean (μ) = 2325

Standard deviation (σ) = 270

From the central limit theorem ; the Distribution of 50 sample means will be normally distributed

Finding the mean to be at least $2245 per month;

x = 2245

Using the Z score relation :

Zscore = (x - μ) / (σ/√n)

Zscore = (2245 - 2325) / (270/√50)

Zscore = - 80 / 38.183766

ZSCORE = - 2.0951312

= - 2.1

P(Z > - 2.1) = 0.982 ( from the Z probability Calculator).

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of money spent to buy 28 burritos will be $105.

What is an expression?

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping can all be represented by mathematical symbols, which can also be used to indicate the logical syntax's order of operations and other features.

Given that the money spent, M, purchasing burritos at a particular fast food restaurant varies directly with the number of burritos purchased, B. When 12 burritos are purchased, $45 is spent.

The money required to purchase 28 burritos will be calculated as:-

12 burritos = $45

1 burrito = 45 / 12

28 burritos = ( 45 / 12 ) x 28

28 burritos = $105

Therefore, the amount of money spent to buy 28 burritos will be $105.

Write an equation of the line passing through the point (8,-5) that is parallel to the line 2x – 6y=-3.
y = mx + b

Answers

Answer:

y=[tex]\frac{1}{3}\\[/tex]x - [tex]\frac{23}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Ist put the first equation in y=mx+b form

2x-6y=-3

subtract 2x on both sides

2x-6y=-3

-2x    =-2x

-6y=-2x-3

then divide both sides by -6

-6y=-2x-3

-6

that gives y=[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]x+[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] for the original equation

Then plug in the point and slope in y=mx+b

Use the same slope since the lines are parallel

(-5)=([tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex])(8)+b

-5=[tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex]+b

then subtract 8/3 on both sides and that gives

-23/3 = b

then you can make the new equation using -23/3 for you b and 1/3 for your slop m

Ellie read an article claiming that 10% of people in her county were senior citizens, and she thought that it may be higher for residents in her city. She took a random sample of 225 people from her city and found that 36 of them were senior citizens. She wants to test H0:p=0.10 versus Ha:p > 0.10, where p is the proportion of people in her city that are senior citizens. Assuming that the conditions for inference have been met.

Required:
Calculate the test statistic for Ellie's significance test.

Answers

Answer:

The  value is [tex]z = 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  population proportion of senior citizens is  [tex]p  = 0.10[/tex]

   The  sample size is  [tex]n  = 225[/tex]

   The  number of senior citizens is  k =  36

   The  null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o :  p =  0.10[/tex]

    The alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : p > 0.10[/tex]

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as

     [tex]\^{p} =  \frac{k}{n}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\^{p} =  \frac{  36 }{225}[/tex]

=>  [tex]\^{p} =0.16[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

     [tex]z =  \frac{\^{p}  -  p }{\sqrt{\frac{p(1 -p )}{n} } }[/tex]

=>    [tex]z =  \frac{0.16 -  0.10 }{\sqrt{\frac{p(1 -0.10)}{225} } }[/tex]

=>    [tex]z = 3[/tex]
