Doug had been working 20 hours per week at a pet store for $8.00 per hour. His pay was increased to $8.50 per hour, and his hour

stellarik [79]

Answer:

$44

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how much he was making originally:

Multiply the number of hours he worked by the amount he got per hour:

20(8)

= 160

Then, find how much he gets now:

24(8.50)

= 204

To find his total weekly pay increase, find the difference between them:

204 - 160

= 44

So, his total weekly pay increase is $44

Suppose a consumer group suspects that the proportion of households that have three cell phones NOT known to be 30%. A cell phon

leva [86]

Answer:

We conclude that the actual percentage of households is equal to 30%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a consumer group suspects that the proportion of households that have three cell phones NOT known to be 30%.

Their marketing people survey 150 households with the result that 43 of the households have three cell phones.

Let p = proportion of households that have three cell phones NOT known.

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : p = 30% {means that the actual percentage of households is equal to 30%}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : p $\neq$ 30% {means that the actual percentage of households different from 30%}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample z-test for proportions;

T.S. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of households having three cell phones = $\frac{43}{150}$ = 0.29

n = sample of households = 150

So, the test statistics = $\frac{0.29-0.30}{\sqrt{\frac{0.30(1-0.30)}{150} } }$

= -0.27

The value of z test statistic is -0.27.

Also, P-value of the test statistics is given by;

P-value = P(Z < -0.27) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 0.27)

= 1 - 0.6064 = 0.3936

Now, at 1% significance level the z table gives critical value of -2.58 and 2.58 for two-tailed test.

Since our test statistic lies within the range of critical values of z, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the actual percentage of households is equal to 30%.

Write the polynomial f(x)=x^4-10x^3+25x^2-40x+84. In factored form

Verizon [17]

<h2>Steps:</h2>

So firstly, to factor this we need to first find the potential roots of this polynomial. To find it, the equation is $\pm \frac{p}{q}$ , with p = the factors of the constant and q = the factors of the leading coefficient. In this case:

$\textsf{leading coefficient = 1, constant = 84}\\\\p=1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,84\\q=1\\\\\pm \frac{1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,84}{1}\\\\\textsf{Potential roots =}\pm 1, \pm 2,\pm 3,\pm 4,\pm 6, \pm 7,\pm 12,\pm 14,\pm 21,\pm 28,\pm 42,\pm 84$

Next, plug in the potential roots into x of the equation until one of them ends with a result of 0:

$f(1)=(1)^4-10(1)^3+25(1)^2-40(1)+84\\f(1)=1-10+25-40+84\\f(1)=60\ \textsf{Not a root}\\\\f(2)=2^4-10(2)^3+25(2)^2-40(2)+84\\f(2)=16-10*8+25*4-80+84\\f(2)=16-80+100-80+84\\f(2)=80\ \textsf{Not a root}\\\\f(3)=3^4-10(3)^3+25(3)^2-40(3)+84\\f(3)=81-10*27+25*9-120+84\\f(3)=81-270+225-120+84\\f(3)=0\ \textsf{Is a root}$

Since we know that 3 is a root, this means that one of the factors is (x - 3). Now that we know one of the roots, we are going to use synthetic division to divide the polynomial. To set it up, place the root of the divisor, in this case 3 from x - 3, on the left side and the coefficients of the original polynomial on the right side as such:

3 | 1 - 10 + 25 - 40 + 84
_________________

Firstly, drop the 1:

3 | 1 - 10 + 25 - 40 + 84
↓
_________________
1

Next, multiply 3 and 1, then add the product with -10:

3 | 1 - 10 + 25 - 40 + 84
↓ + 3
_________________
1 - 7

Next, multiply 3 and -7, then add the product with 25:

3 | 1 - 10 + 25 - 40 + 84
↓ + 3 - 21
_________________
1 - 7 + 4

Next, multiply 3 and 4, then add the product with -40:

3 | 1 - 10 + 25 - 40 + 84
↓ + 3 - 21 + 12
_________________
1 - 7 + 4 - 28

Lastly, multiply -28 and 3, then add the product with 84:

3 | 1 - 10 + 25 - 40 + 84
↓ + 3 - 21 + 12 - 84
_________________
1 - 7 + 4 - 28 + 0

Now our synthetic division is complete. Now since the degree of the original polynomial is 4, this means our quotient has a degree of 3 and follows the format $ax^3+bx^2+cx+d$ . In this case, our quotient is $x^3-7x^2+4x-28$ .

So right now, our equation looks like this:

$f(x)=(x-3)(x^3-7x^2+4x-28)$

However, our second factor can be further simplified. For the second factor, I will be factoring by grouping. So factor x³ - 7x² and 4x - 28 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside the parentheses:

$f(x)=(x-3)(x^2(x-7)+4(x-7))$

Now it can be rewritten as:

$f(x)=(x-3)(x^2+4)(x-7)$

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Since the polynomial cannot be further simplified, your answer is:

$f(x)=(x-3)(x^2+4)(x-7)$
