Faelyn grouped the terms and factored the GCF out of the groups of the polynomial 6x4 – 8x2 + 3x2 + 4. Her work is shown. Step 1: (6x4 – 8x2) + (3x2 + 4)

Step 2: 2x2(3x2 – 4) + 1(3x2 + 4)

Faelyn noticed that she does not have a common factor. Which accurately describes what Faelyn should do next?

Faelyn should realize that her work shows that the polynomial is prime.
Faelyn should go back and regroup the terms in Step 1 as (6x4 + 3x2) – (8x2 + 4).
In Step 2, Faelyn should factor only 2x out of the first expression.
Faelyn should factor out a negative from one of the groups so the binomials will be the same.

In a class, there are 12 girls. if the ratio of boys to girls is 5: 4 how many boys are there in the class

Amachine that produces a special type of transistor (a component of computers) has a 2% defective rate. the production is considered a random process where each transistor is independent of the others. (a) what is the probability that the 10th transistor produced is the first with a defect? (b) what is the probability that the machine produces no defective transistors in a batch of 100? (c) on average, how many transistors would you expect to be produced before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (d) another machine that also produces transistors has a 5% defective rate where each transistor is produced independent of the others. on average how many transistors would you expect to be produced with this machine before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (e) based on your answers to parts (c) and (d), how does increasing the probability of an event a↵ect the mean and standard deviation of the wait time until success?
