On the morning of November 9, 1994-the day after the electoral landslide that had returned Republicans to power in both branches of Congress-several key races were still in doubt. The most prominent was the Washington contest involving Democrat Tom Foley, the reigning speaker of the house. An Associated Press story showed how narrow the margin had become (120): With 99 percent of precincts reporting, Foley trailed Republican challenger George Nethercutt by just 2,174 votes, or 50.6 percent to 49.4 percent. About 14,000 absentee ballots remained uncounted, making the race too close to call. Let p = P(Absentee voter prefers Foley). How small could p have been and still have given Foley a 20% chance of overcoming Nethercutt's lead and winning the election?
Answer:
p = 0.574197
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 14000 ballots left.
The lead is 2174, so he needs to lead at least 2175 in these 14000 ballots.
He does so if he gets at least 8088 votes.
If P(x >= 8088) = 0.20, then the corresponding z score to this is, by table/technology,
z = 0.841621234
Now, as
z = (x - u) / s
and
u= n p
s = sqrt(n p(1-p))
Then
0.841621234 = (8088 - 14000*p) / sqrt(14000p(1-p))
Solving for p here,
p = 0.574197

Which statements about functions g(x) = x2 - 4x + 3 and f(x) = x2 - 4x are true? Select all that apply.
A. The vertex of the graph of function g is above the vertex of the graph of function f.
B. The graphs have the same axis of symmetry.
c. Function f has a maximum value and function g has a minimum value.
Answer:
A and B
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
[tex]g(x)=x^2-4x+3[/tex]
[tex]g(x)=(x^2-2\times x\times 2+4)-4+3=(x-2)^2-1[/tex]
Compare with it
[tex]y=(x-h)^2+k[/tex]
Where vertex=(h,k)
We get
Vertex of g=(2,-1)
[tex]f(x)=x^2-4x=(x^2-2\times x\times 2+4)-4=(x-2)^2-4[/tex]
Vertex of f=(2,-4)
Equation of axis of symmetry=x-coordinate of vertex
Axis of symmetry of g
x=2
Axis of symmetry of f
x=2
Differentiate w.r.t x
[tex]g'(x)=2x-4=0[/tex]
[tex]2x-4=0\implies 2x=4[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{4}{2}=2[/tex]
[tex]f'(x)=2x-4[/tex]
[tex]2x-4=0\implies 2x=4[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{4}{2}=2[/tex]
[tex]g''(x)=2>0[/tex]
[tex]f''(x)=2>0[/tex]
f and g have both minima at x=2
Hence, option A and B are true.
The mean of the sample is 24.444 squares with a standard deviation of 2.45 squares. Single-ply toilet paper requires 26 squares to absorb one-quarter cup of water. Josh would like to carry out a test to determine if there is convincing evidence that the mean number of squares of Fluffy that are needed to absorb one-quarter cup of water is fewer than 26 squares. What is the appropriate test statistic and P-value of this test?
Answer:
t = -2.69 , p = 0.0078
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following data:
Sample Mean = x = 24.444
Sample Standard Deviation = s = 2.45
Sample size = n = 18
Josh wants to test that mean number is lesser than 26. So our test value is 26 i.e.
u = 26
Since Josh wants to test that mean would be fewer than 26, so this would be a left tailed test with a less than sign in Alternate Hypothesis. Therefore, the hypothesis would be:
[tex]H_{o}: u\geq 26\\H_{a}: u<26[/tex]
Since, we do not know the value of Population standard deviation, and we have the value of sample standard deviation, we will use One-Sample t-test for the population mean.
The formula to calculate the test-statistic would be:
[tex]t=\frac{x-u}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
Substituting the values in this formula gives us:
[tex]t=\frac{24.444-26}{\frac{2.45}{\sqrt{18}}}\\t=-2.69[/tex]
This means, the test statistic would be -2.69
Since, the sample size is 18, the degrees of freedom would be:
Degrees of freedom = df = n - 1 = 17
To find the p-value we need to check the p-value against test statistic of 2.69, with 17 degrees of freedom and One-tailed test. This value comes out to be:
p-value = 0.0078
Therefore, the correct answer would be:
t = -2.69 , p = 0.0078
The following definitions are used: a relation on a set A is defined to be irreflexive if, and only if, for every x A, x R x; asymmetric if, and only if, for every x, y A if x R y then y R x; intransitive if, and only if, for every x, y, z A, if x R y and y R z then x R z. The following relation is defined on the set A = {0, 1, 2, 3}. Determine whether the relation is irreflexive, asymmetric, intransitive, or none of these. (Select all that apply.) R2 = {(0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 2), (2, 3)}
The relation R2 = {(0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 2), (2, 3)} is not irreflexive, asymmetric, or intransitive.
Explanation:To determine whether the relation R2 = {(0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 2), (2, 3)} is irreflexive, asymmetric, or intransitive, we will analyze each property.
Irreflexive: Since every element in the relation has the form (x, x) where x is an element of A, and all such pairs exist in R2, the relation is not irreflexive.Asymmetric: Since the relation contains (x, y) and (y, x) pairs for some x, y in A, it violates the definition of an asymmetric relation. Therefore, R2 is not asymmetric.Intransitive: The relation R2 does not violate the transitive property. For example, (0,1) and (1,2) are in R2, and it also contains (0,2), satisfying the transitive property. Therefore, R2 is not intransitive.Therefore, the relation R2 is none of the given properties (irreflexive, asymmetric, or intransitive).

A sheet of paper contains 18 square feet. The top and bottom margins are 9inches and the side margins are 6 inches. What are the dimensions of the pagethat has the largest printed area?
Answer:
The dimensions of the page are
3.46 ft by 5.20 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x---> the length of the sheet of paper in feet
y ---> the width of the sheet of paper in feet
[tex]A=xy[/tex]
[tex]A=18\ ft^2[/tex]
so
[tex]18=xy[/tex]
[tex]y=\frac{18}{x}[/tex] -----> equation A
Remember that
[tex]1\ ft=12\ in[/tex]
Convert the margins into feet
[tex]9\ in=9\12=0.75\ ft[/tex]
[tex]6\ in=6\12=0.50\ ft[/tex]
so
we know that
The area of the largest printed area is given by
[tex]A=(y-0.75-0.75)(x-0.50-0.50)[/tex]
[tex]A=(y-1.50)(x-1)[/tex]
[tex]A=xy-y-1.50x+1.50[/tex]
substitute equation A in the above expression
[tex]A=x(\frac{18}{x})-\frac{18}{x}-1.50x+1.50\\[/tex]
[tex]A=18-\frac{18}{x}-1.50x+1.50[/tex]
[tex]A=19.50-\frac{18}{x}-1.50x[/tex]
Now we have an output (A) in terms of only one variable (x),
so
we differentiate:
[tex]\frac{dA}{dx}=\frac{18}{x^2}-1.50[/tex]
equate to zero
[tex]\frac{18}{x^2}=1.50[/tex]
[tex]x^2=12\\x=3.46\ ft[/tex]
Find the value of y
[tex]18=(3.46)y\\y=5.20\ ft[/tex]
therefore
The dimensions of the page are
3.46 ft by 5.20 ft
The required dimensions are,
[tex]x+18=3\sqrt{3}+18\\ y+12=2\sqrt{3}+12[/tex]
Area of the rectangle:The formula of the area of the rectangle is [tex]A=l \times b[/tex]
Let [tex]A[/tex] be the area of the paper then,
[tex]A=(x+18)(y+12)...(1)[/tex]
And the printed area is [tex]xy=18...(2)[/tex]
Now, from the equation (1) and (2) we get,
[tex]A=(x+18)(\frac{18}{x}+12)\\ A=234+12x+\frac{324}{x} ..(3)[/tex]
Now, differentiating equation (3)
[tex]\frac{dA}{dx}=12-\frac{324}{x^2} \\\frac{dA}{dx}=0\\12-\frac{324}{x^2} =0\\x=3\sqrt{3}[/tex]
Substituting the obtained value of [tex]x[/tex] into the equation (2)
[tex]x+18=3\sqrt{3}+18\\ y+12=2\sqrt{3}+12[/tex]

Answer: a) 15, b) 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
A researcher studying public opinion of proposed social security changes obtains a simple random sample of 35 adult Americans and asks them whether or not they support the proposed changes. To say that the distribution of the sample proportion of adults who respond yes, is approximately normal, how many more Americans does the researcher need to sample in the following cases?
(a) 10% of all adult Americans support the changes
Here, [tex]np>5\ and\ n(1-p)>5[/tex]
And , [tex]p=0.10[/tex]
So, consider the equality, to find the value of 'n'.
[tex]np=5\\\\n\times 0.10=5\\\\n=\dfrac{5}{0.10}\\\\n=50[/tex]
So, there are [tex]50-35=15[/tex] more adult Americans needed.
(b) 15% of all adult Americans supports the changes
Here, [tex]p=0.15[/tex]
So, again we get that
[tex]np=5\\\\n\times 0.15=5\\\\n=\dfrac{5}{0.15}\\\\n=33.33\\\\n\approx 34[/tex]
So, there are [tex]35-34=1[/tex] more adult Americans needed.
Hence, a) 15, b) 1.
Imagine you are studying a population of finches on one of the Galåpagos Islands. You have been recording many of the birds' physical traits, including the length of both wings. You observe that for 80% of individuals measured, the length of the left wing is not significantly different from the length of the right wing (in other words, they are symmetrical). But for about 20% of birds measured, the wing lengths are asymmetrical. This distribution is true from generation to generation. Suddenly, a rare 5-day windstorm takes over the island. After the storm, you spend the next several days netting each bird on the island that survived the storm. You discover that 85% of the birds with symmetrical wings survived the storm, whereas only 5% of the birds with asymmetrical wings did. Propose a hypothesis to explain this observation.
Answer:
The distribution of symmetrical to asymmetrical will change so that close to 100% of birds will have symmetrical wingspans.
Answer:
Refer below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The appropriation of symmetrical to asymmetrical will change so near 100% of flying creatures will have symmetrical wingspans.

The mean number of errors missed is 3.
c) The standard deviation of the number of errors caught is 1.4491.
The standard deviation of the number of errors missed is 1.4491.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each typing error, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is caught, or it is not. The probability of a typing error being caught is independent of other errors. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

10 word errors.
This means that [tex]n = 10[/tex]
(a) If X is the number of word errors missed, what is the distribution of X ?
Human proofreaders catch 70 % of word errors. This means that they miss 30% of errors.
So for X, p = 0.3.
The answer is:
X is binomial with n = 10 and p = 0.3.
If Y is the number of word errors caught, what is the distribution of Y ?
Human proofreaders catch 70 % of word errors.
So for Y, p = 0.7.
The answer is:
Y is binomial with n = 10 and p = 0.7
(b) What is the mean number of errors caught?
[tex]E(Y) = np = 10*0.7 = 7[/tex]
The mean number of errors caught is 7.
What is the mean number of errors missed?
[tex]E(X) = np = 10*0.3 = 3[/tex]
The mean number of errors missed is 3.
(c) What is the standard deviation of the number of errors caught?
[tex]\sqrt{V(Y)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{10*0.7*0.3} = 1.4491[/tex]
The standard deviation of the number of errors caught is 1.4491.
What is the standard deviation of the number of errors missed?
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{10*0.3*0.7} = 1.4491[/tex]
The standard deviation of the number of errors missed is 1.4491.
(a). X follows a binomial distribution with n = 10 and p = 0.3, while Y follows a binomial distribution with n = 10 and p = 0.7.
(b) The mean number of errors caught is 7 and the mean number of errors missed is 3,
(c) Both with a standard deviation of approximately 1.4491.
Let's analyze the given problem step by step.
Part (a): Distribution of X and Y
X represents the number of word errors missed.
Since 70% of word errors are caught, 30% of word errors are missed.
Therefore, X follows a binomial distribution with n = 10 (total errors) and p = 0.3 (probability of missing an error).
Thus, X is binomial with n = 10 and p = 0.3.Y represents the number of word errors caught.
Since 70% of word errors are caught, Y follows a binomial distribution with n = 10 and p = 0.7 (probability of catching an error).
Thus, Y is binomial with n = 10 and p = 0.7.Part (b): Mean Number of Errors Caught and Missed
Mean of errors caught: The mean of a binomial distribution is given by µ = np. For Y (caught errors), µ = 10 × 0.7 = 7. Thus, the mean number of errors caught is 7.Mean of errors missed: For X (missed errors), µ = 10 × 0.3 = 3. Thus, the mean number of errors missed is 3.Part (c): Standard Deviation of the Number of Errors Caught and Missed
Standard deviation of errors caught:
The standard deviation of a binomial distribution is given by σ = √(np(1-p)). For Y (caught errors), σ = √(10 × 0.7 × 0.3) ≈ 1.4491.Thus, the standard deviation of the number of errors caught is approximately 1.4491.
Standard deviation of errors missed: For X (missed errors), σ = √(10 × 0.3 × 0.7) ≈ 1.4491. Thus, the standard deviation of the number of errors missed is approximately 1.4491.

lists the amount of U.S. cash per capita in circulation as of June 30 in the given year. Use linear approximation to estimate the amount, C(2010), of cash per capita in circulation in the year 2010.
Answer:
C(2010) = $1312 using linear approximation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The full complete question is attached to this solution.
The full table is given as
Year | 1970 | 1980 | 1990 | 2000
Cash |$180 |$262 |$564 | $938
we are told to use linear approximation to obtain C(2010)
Linear approximation, Mathematically, results in
C(2010) = C(2000) + C'(t) [t]
where t = years since 2010 = (Year - 2000)
Linear approximation gives C'(t) as the rate of change of C with time
C'(t) = (ΔC/Δt)
We will be using the latest year for this approximation.
ΔC = C(2000) - C(1990) = 938 - 564 = $374
Δt = 2000 - 1990 = 10
C'(t) = (374/10) = $37.4 per year.
C(2010) = C(2000) + C'(t) [t]
t = 2010 - 2000 = 10
C(2000) = $938
C'(t) = $37.4 per year
C(2010) = 938 + (37.4)(10) = $1312
Hope this Helps!!!

High Risk because returns are not guaranteed, but time frames are set
—Speculation
Moderate Disk because expectations of returns are reasonable and average
—Growth
Low Risk because of steady Interest without fluctuation in value
—Savings
In investment terms, growth corresponds to high risk as returns aren't guaranteed, savings relate to low risk due to steady interest income, and speculation signifies moderate risk as it has reasonable return expectations.
Explanation:The types of investment can be associated with different levels of risk as follows:
Growth is correlated with high risk because the returns are not guaranteed, but time frames are set. For example, investing in a start-up tech firm may have great potential for growth, but also carries a significant risk if the company does not succeed. Savings are associated with low risk due to steady interest without fluctuation in value. This might be a savings account or a fixed-rate bond, where the earnings are steady and dependable, and there is little risk of losing your initial investment. Speculation presents a moderate risk because expectations of returns are reasonable and average. This could be investments in commodities, real estate or foreign exchange, where there is some risk involved but also the potential for significant gains. Learn more about Investment Risk here:

A study conducted by the Pew Research Center reported that 58% of cell phone owners used their phones inside a store for guidance on purchasing decisions. A sample of 15 cell phone owners is studied. What is the probability that 10 or more of them used their phones for guidance on purchasing decisions? Round your answer to 2 decimal places
Final answer:
The student is asked to calculate the probability that 10 or more out of 15 cell phone owners use their phones for help with purchasing decisions, with a 58% chance each. The calculation is done using the binomial probability formula and the answer is rounded to two decimal places.
Explanation:
The student seeks to determine the probability that 10 or more cell phone owners out of a sample of 15 use their phones for guidance on purchasing decisions, given that 58% of cell phone owners do so. This question can be addressed using the binomial probability formula:
[tex]P(X ≥ k) = Σ (nCk * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k))[/tex]
n is the sample size (15 in this case),k is the number of successes (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 in this case),p is the probability of success on a single trial (0.58), andnCk is the combination of n items taken k at a time.To find the total probability of 10 or more successes, we sum the probabilities of having 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 successes. Each of these probabilities is found by plugging the appropriate numbers into the binomial formula. In practice, to simplify the calculation, one might use statistical software or a binomial probability calculator.
After calculating these probabilities and summing them up, we round the answer to two decimal places as per the instruction given in the question.
A bank's loan officer rates applicants for credit. The ratings are normally distributed with a mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 50. If 40 different applicants are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean is above 215.
Answer:
[tex]P(\bar X>215)[/tex]
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
[tex]z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
If we apply this formula to our probability we got this: for the value of 215
[tex] z = \frac{215-200}{\frac{50}{\sqrt{40}}}= 1.897[/tex]
And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard distribution or excel we got:
[tex] P(z >1.897) = 1-P(z<1.897) =1- 0.971= 0.029[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X the random variable that represent the ratings of applicants from a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
[tex]X \sim N(200,50)[/tex]
Where [tex]\mu=200[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=50[/tex]
We select a sample size of n =40. We are interested on this probability
[tex]P(\bar X>215)[/tex]
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
[tex]z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
If we apply this formula to our probability we got this: for the value of 215
[tex] z = \frac{215-200}{\frac{50}{\sqrt{40}}}= 1.897[/tex]
And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard distribution or excel we got:
[tex] P(z >1.897) = 1-P(z<1.897) =1- 0.971= 0.029[/tex]

The Gulfstream 100 is an executive jet that seats six and it has a doorway height of 51.6 inches.
a. What percentage of adult men can fit through the door without bending?
b. what percentage of adult women can fit through the door without bending?
c. Does the door design with a height of 51.6 inches appear to be adequate? Why didn’t engineers design a larger door?
d. What doorway height would allow 60% of men to fit without bending?
Answer:
a. The percentage of adult men that will fit through the door without bending is 0.
b. The percentage of adult women that will fit through the door without bending is 0.
c. No, it is not adequate. There must be another technical reasons to not use a larger door.
d. The doorway height that would allow 60% of men to fit without bending is 70.1 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
a. To fit throught the door, the height has to be under 51.6. To calculate this proportion, we have to calculate the z-score for X=51.6 for the distribution of men's height N(μ=69.5, σ=2.4).
We can calculate the z-score as:
[tex]z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{51.6-69.5}{2.4}=\dfrac{-17.9}{2.4}=-7.4583[/tex]
[tex]P(X<51.6)=P(z<-7.4583)=0[/tex]
The percentage of adult men that will fit through the door without bending is 0.
b. To fit throught the door, the height has to be under 51.6. To calculate this proportion, we have to calculate the z-score for X=51.6 for the distribution of women's height N(μ=63.8, σ=2.6).
We can calculate the z-score as:
[tex]z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{51.6-63.8}{2.6}=\dfrac{-12.2}{2.6}=-4.6923[/tex]
[tex]P(X<51.6)=P(z<-4.6923)=0[/tex]
The percentage of adult women that will fit through the door without bending is 0.
c. No, it is not adequate. There must be another technical reasons to not use a larger door.
d. We can calculate this finding a z-value z1 for which P(z<z1)=0.60.
Looking in a standard normal distribution table, the value for z1 is z1=0.25335.
Then, transforming to our adult men's height distribution, we have:
[tex]X=\mu+z\sigma=69.5+0.25335*2.4=69.5+0.6=70.1[/tex]
The doorway height that would allow 60% of men to fit without bending is 70.1 inches.

five rock songs and six hip-hop songs on a disk jockeys playlist for a radio show. If the disc jockey shuffle the songs randomly, what is the possibility that all hip-hop song are played consecutively
Answer 39916800
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that all hip-hop songs are played consecutively is 0.18%.
To calculate the probability that all hip-hop songs are played consecutively, to consider the total number of possible song arrangements and the number of arrangements where all hip-hop songs are consecutive.
The total number of song arrangements calculated using the concept of permutations. Since there are a total of 11 songs on the playlist, the number of possible arrangements is 11!.
Now, let's calculate the number of arrangements where all hip-hop songs are played consecutively treat the 6 hip-hop songs as a single unit or block. This means 6! ways to arrange the hip-hop songs within that block.
Since we have 5 rock songs remaining, we can arrange them in 5! ways.
Therefore, the total number of arrangements where all hip-hop songs are played consecutively is 6! ×5!.
To calculate the probability, we divide the number of favorable outcomes (where all hip-hop songs are played consecutively) by the total number of possible outcomes:
Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of possible outcomes)
Probability = (6! × 5!) / 11!
Calculating the numerical value:
Probability = (720 × 120) / 39,916,800
Probability ≈ 0.00180

A car is traveling at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour. What is the car's speed in miles per hour? How many miles will the car travel in 4 hours?
Answer:
The car's speed is 74.5444 mi/hr. It travels 298.2576 miles in 4 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we want to know the speed in mi/hr, we must convert the km to mi. We can convert from kilometers to miles as follows.
mi = km * 0.62137
Then, if the car is moving at 120 km / hr, we have that the car is moving at
120*0.62137 mi /hr, which is 74.5644 mi/hr. If we want to know how many miles the car travels in four hours, we multiply the speed times the total time. Hence
total distance = 74.5444 mi/hr * 4 hr = 298.2576 miles.
a large college class has 160 students. All 160 students attend the lectures together, but the students are divided into 4 groups, each of 40 students, forfor lab sections administered by different eaching assistants. The professor wants to conduct a survey about how satisfied the students are with the course, and he belives that the lab section a student is in might affett the students overall satisfaction ith course. (a) suwhat type of study is this? (b) suggest a sampling stragey for carrying out the study
Answer: Please see answer in explanatory column
Step-by-step explanation:
STEP 1 - Since the survey is not an experimental one which occurs in a laboratory with a control and interference with sample.
Then the professor will use an observational study is in which he will observe the behavior of the students in a systematic manner without interfering with the students behavior so as to know how satisfied the students are with the course. After getting to know how satisfied the students are for his course he would record the behavior that he or she observes and rate accordingly
STEP 2:The sampling strategy the Professor can use in carrying out the research is a Stratified sampling which occurs when the population to be observed is divided into groups known as strata which contains similar cases grouped together, then a second sampling, mostly a random sampling where the professor will randomly sample few students from the different strata to get his observations. for example, the students divided in 4 groups of 40 students represents each strata placed in common according to the different teaching assistant, then the professor can then randomly sample few students from each strata from a class of the 120 students.
This study is an observational study. A possible sampling strategy for this study could be stratified sampling.
Explanation:(a) This study is an observational study since the researcher is not manipulating any variables or assigning participants to groups. The researcher is simply observing and collecting data on the students' satisfaction with the course.
(b) A possible sampling strategy for this study could be stratified sampling. The researcher could divide the 160 students into four strata based on their lab sections and then randomly select a certain number of students from each stratum to participate in the survey. This ensures that each lab section is represented in the sample.

A rectangle has an area of K + 19k + 60 square inches. If the value of k and the dimensions of the rectangle are all natural
numbers, which statement about the rectangle could be true?
The length of the rectangle is k-5 inches.
The width of the rectangle is k + 4 inches.
The length of the rectangle is k-20 inches.
The width of the rectangle is k + 10 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition, the area of a rectangle is given by:
A = w * lA=w∗l
Where,
w: width of the rectangle
l: length of the rectangle
We then have the following expression for the area:
A = k ^ 2 + 19k + 60A=k
2
+19k+60
What we must do is factorize the expression following the following steps:
1) Find two numbers that are equal to 19
2) Find two multiplied numbers equal to 60
We have then:
A = (k + 15) (k + 4)A=(k+15)(k+4)
