Answer:
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -17x its coefficient is -17 .
The last term, "the constant", is +60
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 60 = 60
Step-2 : Find two factors of 60 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -17 .
-60 + -1 = -61
-30 + -2 = -32
-20 + -3 = -23
-15 + -4 = -19
-12 + -5 = -17 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -12 and -5
x2 - 12x - 5x - 60
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-12)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
5 • (x-12)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x-5) • (x-12)
Which is the desired factorization
Equation at the end of step
1
:
(x - 5) • (x - 12) = 0

Theory - Roots of a product
2.1 A product of several terms equals zero.
When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.
We shall now solve each term = 0 separately
In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product
Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
2.2 Solve : x-5 = 0
Add 5 to both sides of the equation :
x = 5
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
2.3 Solve : x-12 = 0
Add 12 to both sides of the equation :
x = 12
Supplement : Solving Quadratic Equation Directly
Solving x2-17x+60 = 0 directly
Earlier we factored this polynomial by splitting the middle term. let us now solve the equation by Completing The Square and by using the Quadratic Formula
Parabola, Finding the Vertex:
3.1 Find the Vertex of y = x2-17x+60
For any parabola,Ax2+Bx+C,the x -coordinate of the vertex is given by -B/(2A) . In our case the x coordinate is 8.5000
Plugging into the parabola formula 8.5000 for x we can calculate the y -coordinate :
y = 1.0 * 8.50 * 8.50 - 17.0 * 8.50 + 60.0
or y = -12.250
Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :
Root plot for : y = x2-17x+60
Axis of Symmetry (dashed) {x}={ 8.50}
Vertex at {x,y} = { 8.50,-12.25}
x -Intercepts (Roots) :
Root 1 at {x,y} = { 5.00, 0.00}
Root 2 at {x,y} = {12.00, 0.00}
Solve Quadratic Equation by Completing The Square
3.2 Solving x2-17x+60 = 0 by Completing The Square .
Subtract 60 from both side of the equation :
x2-17x = -60
Now the clever bit: Take the coefficient of x , which is 17 , divide by two, giving 17/2 , and finally square it giving 289/4
Add 289/4 to both sides of the equation :
On the right hand side we have :
-60 + 289/4 or, (-60/1)+(289/4)
The common denominator of the two fractions is 4 Adding (-240/4)+(289/4) gives 49/4
So adding to both sides we finally get :
x2-17x+(289/4) = 49/4
Adding 289/4 has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :
x2-17x+(289/4) =
(x-(17/2)) • (x-(17/2)) =
(x-(17/2))2
Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. Since
x2-17x+(289/4) = 49/4 and
x2-17x+(289/4) = (x-(17/2))2
then, according to the law of transitivity,
(x-(17/2))2 = 49/4
We'll refer to this Equation as Eq. #3.2.1
The Square Root Principle says that When two things are equal, their square roots are equal.
Note that the square root of
(x-(17/2))2 is
(x-(17/2))2/2 =
(x-(17/2))1 =
x-(17/2)
Now, applying the Square Root Principle to Eq. #3.2.1 we get:
x-(17/2) = √ 49/4
Add 17/2 to both sides to obtain:
x = 17/2 + √ 49/4
Since a square root has two values, one positive and the other negative
x2 - 17x + 60 = 0
has two solutions:
x = 17/2 + √ 49/4
or
x = 17/2 - √ 49/4
Note that √ 49/4 can be written as
√ 49 / √ 4 which is 7 / 2
Solve Quadratic Equation using the Quadratic Formula
3.3 Solving x2-17x+60 = 0 by the Quadratic Formula .
According to the Quadratic Formula, x , the solution for Ax2+Bx+C = 0 , where A, B and C are numbers, often called coefficients, is given by :
- B ± √ B2-4AC
x = ————————
2A
In our case, A = 1
B = -17
C = 60
Accordingly, B2 - 4AC =
289 - 240 =
49
Applying the quadratic formula :
17 ± √ 49
x = —————
2
Can √ 49 be simplified ?
Yes! The prime factorization of 49 is
7•7
To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be 2 instances of it (because we are taking a square i.e. second root).
√ 49 = √ 7•7 =
± 7 • √ 1 =
± 7
So now we are looking at:
x = ( 17 ± 7) / 2
Two real solutions:
x =(17+√49)/2=(17+7)/2= 12.000
or:
x =(17-√49)/2=(17-7)/2= 5.000
Two solutions were found :
x = 12
x = 5

Solve each proportion 3 = 72 – 7
1. 3/7 = 72/x
By cross multiplication we get :
➟ 3x = 72 × 7
➟ x = 72 × 7/3
➟ x = 24 × 7
➟ x = 168
2. m/8 = 8/20
By cross multiplication we get :

A long distance phone company charges a flat rate of $1.01 and then $0.09 for each minute. If
a call cost $9.56, how long did it last?
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
95 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Deduct the flat rate from the total to see how much was spent on minutes
9.56 - 1.01 = 8.55
to get minutes divide that by the cost per minute
8.55/0.09 = 95
95 minutes
Assume that the finishing times in a New York City 10-kilometer road race are normally distributed with a mean of 55 minutes and a standard deviation of 10 minutes. Let X be a randomly selected finishing time.
a. What percent of finish times was higher than 72 minutes? (Give your answers rounded to two decimal places)
b. What percent of finish times was between 52 and 70 minutes? (Give your answers rounded to two decimal places)
c. What is the 40th percentile finish time? (Round your answer to nearest tenth)
d. What is the 95th percentile finish time? (Round your answer to nearest tenth)
Using the normal distribution, it is found that:
a) 4.46% of finish times was higher than 72 minutes.
b) 55.11% of finish times was between 52 and 70 minutes.
c) The 40th percentile of finish times is 52.5 minutes.
d) The 95th percentile of finish times is 71.45 minutes.
In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.In this problem:
The mean is of 55 minutes, hence [tex]\mu = 55[/tex].The standard deviation is of 10 minutes, hence [tex]\sigma = 10[/tex]Item a:
The proportion is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 72, hence:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{72 - 55}{10}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.7[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.7[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9554
1 - 0.9554 = 0.0446
0.0446 x 100% = 4.46%
4.46% of finish times was higher than 72 minutes.
Item b:
Th proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 70 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 52, hence:
X = 70:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{70 - 55}{10}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9332.
X = 52:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{52 - 55}{10}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.3[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.3[/tex] has a p-value of 0.3821.
0.9332 - 0.3821 = 0.5511
0.5511 x 100% = 55.11%
55.11% of finish times was between 52 and 70 minutes.
Item c:
The 40th percentile is X when Z has a p-value of 0.4, so X when Z = -0.253.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]-0.253 = \frac{X - 55}{10}[/tex]
[tex]X - 55 = -0.253(10)[/tex]
[tex]X = 52.5[/tex]
The 40th percentile of finish times is 52.5 minutes.
Item d:
The 95th percentile is X when Z has a p-value of 0.95, so X when Z = 1.645.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]1.645 = \frac{X - 55}{10}[/tex]
[tex]X - 55 = 1.645(10)[/tex]
[tex]X = 71.45[/tex]
The 95th percentile of finish times is 71.45 minutes.

Answers:
A = -5/4B = -0.5C = 2=====================================
Explanation:
The fraction -5/4 converts to -1.25 after using your calculator or long division. It represents the mixed number -1 & 1/4. So we go 1 full unit to the left to arrive at -1, then we move another 1/4 unit to the left to get to point A. That's why point A is located at -5/4 = -1.25 = -1 & 1/4.
Point B is directly midway between 0 and -1, so it must be at -0.5; you can use the midpoint formula.
