Analyzing a Method of Factorization
Determine if Ginny factored correctly If not, explain
where she made an error
Ginny factored 6x2 - 31x - 30 as shown
1 ac = -180 and b = 31
2 36(-5) = -180 and 36 + (-5) = 31
36x2 + 36x - 5x - 30
1.6x(x + 6) - 5(x + 6)
5 (x+6)(6x - 5)
Ginny made a mistake in step 1 when she identified
b = 31. It should be b= -31
Ginny was correct until step 3 when she used 36
and -5 as the coefficients of
Ginny was correct until step 4 when she incorrectly
factored the GCF from 5x - 30
Ginny factored the trinomial correctly

Ihave a triangle with a 60 degree angle. lets use d for that angle. what are the values of e and f if d is 60 degrees? and what do you notice about the values of e and f?

60 musicians applied for a job at a music school. 14 of the musicians play both guitar and drums, 28 play drums, 18 play the guitar. what is the probability that the applicant who gets the job plays drums or guitar?

In a study of the relationship between socio-economic class and unethical behavior, 129 university of california undergraduates at berkeley were asked to identify themselves as having low or high social-class by comparing themselves to others with the most (least) money, most (least) education, and most (least) respected jobs. they were also presented with a jar of individually wrapped candies and informed that the candies were for children in a nearby laboratory, but that they could take some if they wanted. after completing some unrelated tasks, participants reported the number of candies they had taken. it was found that those who were identiď¬ed as upper-class took more candy than others. in this study, identify: (a) the cases, (b) the variables and their types, (c) the main research question, (d) identify the population of interest and the sample in this study, and (e) comment on whether or not the results of the study can be generalized to the population, and if the ď¬ndings of the study can be used to establish causal relationships.
