Looking at the expression , we can see that the first coefficient is , the second coefficient is , and the last term is . Now multiply the first coefficient by the last term to get . Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient ? To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of (the previous product). Factors of : 1,2,3,6 -1,-2,-3,-6 Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations. These factors pair up and multiply to . 1*(-6) = -6 2*(-3) = -6 (-1)*(6) = -6 (-2)*(3) = -6 Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient : First Number Second Number Sum 1 -6 1+(-6)=-5 2 -3 2+(-3)=-1 -1 6 -1+6=5 -2 3 -2+3=1 From the table, we can see that the two numbers and add to (the middle coefficient). So the two numbers and both multiply to and add to Now replace the middle term with . Remember, and add to . So this shows us that . Replace the second term with . Group the terms into two pairs. Factor out the GCF from the first group. Factor out from the second group. The goal of this step is to make the terms in the second parenthesis equal to the terms in the first parenthesis. Combine like terms. Or factor out the common term =============================================================== Answer: So factors to . In other words, . Note: you can check the answer by expanding to get or by graphing the original expression and the answer (the two graphs should be identical).

Probability-and-statistics/620938: Please help? I'm so lost on this problem. Can anyone help? A sample of 140 golfers showed that their average score on a particular golf course was 93.38 with a standard deviation of 4.36. Answer each of the following (show all work and state the final answer to at least two decimal places.): (A) Find the 90% confidence interval of the mean score for all 140 golfers. (B) Find the 90% confidence interval of the mean score for all golfers if this is a sample of 95 golfers instead of a sample of 140. (C) Which confidence interval is smaller and why? 1 solutions Answer 390465 by jim_thompson5910(28476)   on 2012-06-14 16:59:29 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'll do part A) to get you going. A) Lower Bound: LB = xbar - z*sigma/sqrt(n) LB = 93.38 - 1.64485*4.36/sqrt(140) LB = 93.38 - 1.64485*4.36/11.8321596 LB = 93.38 - 7.171546/11.8321596 LB = 93.38 - 0.606106 LB = 92.773894 ----------------------- Upper Bound: LB = xbar + z*sigma/sqrt(n) LB = 93.38 + 1.64485*4.36/sqrt(140) LB = 93.38 + 1.64485*4.36/11.8321596 LB = 93.38 + 7.171546/11.8321596 LB = 93.38 + 0.606106 LB = 93.986106 So the 90% confidence interval of the mean score for all 140 golfers is (92.774, 93.986) Note: I rounded to three places because it said to round to "at least two decimal places", so I just picked one number higher Another note: The value z = 1.64485 is the value of z such that 90% of the distribution under the standard normal curve is between z = -1.64485 and z = 1.64485. Use a calculator or a table to find this value.

Probability-and-statistics/620707: Solve: 73x is congruent to(the three line equal symbol) 115 (mod 971). I know you can change this to (73x-115)/971, but I'm not sure how to solve the rest of this. 1 solutions Answer 390349 by jim_thompson5910(28476)   on 2012-06-14 00:54:02 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! 73x = 1 (mod 971) 971 | (73x - 1) 971y = 73x - 1 -73x + 971y = -1 73x - 971y = 1 971 = 13*73 + 22 ----> 22 = 971 -13*73 73 = 3*22 + 7 ----> 7 = 73 - 3*22 22 = 3*7 + 1 ----> 1 = 22 - 3*7 1 = 22 - 3*7 1 = 22 - 3*(73 - 3*22) 1 = 22 - 3*73 + 9*22 1 = 971 -13*73 - 3*73 + 9*(971 - 13*73) 1 = 971 - 13*73 - 3*73 + 9*971 - 117*73 1 = 10*971 - 13*73 - 3*73 - 117*73 1 = 10*971 - 133*73 Since 1 = 10*971 - 133*73, this means that for 73x = 1 (mod 971), the solution is x = -133 = 838 (mod 971) So 73x = 1 (mod 971) 73*838 = 1 (mod 971) Now multiply both sides by 115 73*838 = 1 (mod 971) 115*73*838 = 115*1 (mod 971) 73*(115*838) = 115*1 (mod 971) 73*(115*838) = 115 (mod 971) 73*96370 = 115 (mod 971) 73*241 = 115 (mod 971) So the solution for x in 73x = 115 (mod 971) is x = 241
