Step 4: What is the common factor in both terms of the
resulting expression?
2x
3
= (2x+ + 6x) + (5.
Group 1
= 2x(x + 3) + (5x +
x + 3
= 2x(x + 3) + 5(x =
Step 5: Use the distributive property to write the factored
form of the polynomial.
(x + 3)(2x + 5)
(2x + 3)(x + 5)
Common factor: x
Correct!

The vice president of programming at nbc is finalizing the prime-time schedule for the fall. she has decided to include a hospital drama but is unsure which of two possibilities to select. she has a pilot called the surgeon and another called critical care. to her make a final decision, a sample of 20 viewers from throughout the united states was asked to watch the two pilots and indicate which show they prefer. the results were that 12 liked the surgeon, 7 liked critical care, and one had no preference. state the decision rule, using the 0.10 significance level. h0: π = 0.50 h1: π ≠ 0.50 1. reject h0 if number of + signs is either < = or > = 2. what is your decision regarding h0? is there a preference for one of the two shows?
