The values of m and n from the given equation are 1/4 and -2

<h3>Polynomial functions</h3>

Given the polynomial function below

f(x) = mx^4+2x^3-3x^2+nx-4

If the zeros are 2 and -2, hence;

0 = 16m+16-12+2n-4
0 = 16m-16+12-2n-4

_______________
16m+2n = 0
16m - 2n = 8

Subtract

2n+2n = -8
4n = -8

n = -2

Substitute for "m'

16m + 2(-2) = 0
16m = 4

m = 1/4

Hence the values of m and n from the given equation are 1/4 and -2

The water works commission needs to know the mean household usage of water by the residents of a small town in gallons per day.

valina [46]

Answer:

A sample of 179 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.85}{2} = 0.075$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.075 = 0.925$ , so Z = 1.44.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

A previous study found that for an average family the variance is 1.69 gallon?

This means that $\sigma = \sqrt{1.69} = 1.3$

If they are using a 85% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of water?

A sample of n is needed, and n is found for M = 0.14. So

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.14 = 1.44\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.14\sqrt{n} = 1.44*1.3$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.44*1.3}{0.14}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.44*1.3}{0.14})^2$

$n = 178.8$

Rounding up

A sample of 179 is needed.

I need solving 4.8 (x+4)=2.6

victus00 [196]

<span>4.8 (x+4)=2.6
Use distributive property
4.8x + 19.2= 2.6
Subtract 19.2 from both sides
4.8x = -16.6
Divide 4.8 on both sides so that the only thing remaining on the left side is the variable x.
Final Answer: x = -3.458</span>
