The polynomial 9x^2 + 4 is equivalent to (3x+2i)(3x-2i). The answer is A.

Polynomials are algebraic expressions that consist of variables and coefficients where arithmetic operations can be performed.

A polynomial is expanded if no variable appears within parentheses and all like terms have been combined.

To expand a polynomial, multiply its factors (often by using the distributive property) or perform the indicated operations. Then combine all like terms.

Expanding each of the options provided using FOIL method:

a) (3x+2i)(3x-2i)

= 9x^2 - 2ix + 2ix - 4i^2

= 9x^2 - 4i^2 *(i^2 = -1) note that i is an imaginary number and i squared is equal to -1

= 9x^2 - 4(-1)

= 9x^2 + 4

b) (3x+2)(3x-2)

= 9x^2 + 6x - 6x - 4

= 9x^2 - 4

c) (3x + 2i)^2

= 9x^2 + 6ix + 6ix + 4i^2 *(i^2 = -1)

= 9x^2 + 12ix - 4

d) (3x + 2)^2

= 9x^2 + 6x + 6x + 4

= 9x^2 + 12x + 4

Hence, the polynomial 9x^2 + 4 is equivalent to (3x+2i)(3x-2i). The answer is A.

Answer:

a. difference of means

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean , x = 9.4

Standard deviation, $s.d_1$ = 2.5

Number, $n_1$ = 12

Mean, y = 6.5

standard deviation, $s.d_2$ = 2.4

Number, $n_2$ = 12

The null hypothesis is : $H_0: \mu_1=\mu_2$

The alternate hypothesis is : $H_1: \mu_1>\mu_2$

Level of significance, $\alpha$ = 0.1

From the $\text{standard normal table, right tailed,}$ $t_{1/2}$ = 1.363

Since out test is right tailed.

Reject $H_0$ , if $T_0>1.363$

We use the test statics,

$t_0=\frac{(x-y)}{\sqrt{\frac{s.d_1}{n_1}+\frac{s.d_2}{n_2}}}$

$t_0=\frac{(9.4-6.5)}{\sqrt{\frac{6.25}{12}+\frac{5.76}{12}}}$

$t_0=2.899$

$|t_0|=2.899$

$\text{Critical value}$

The value of $|t_{1/2}|$ with minimum $\left(n_1-1,n_2-1)$ that is 11 df is 1.363

We go $|t_0|=2.899$ and $|t_{1/2}|$ = 1.363

Decision making:

Since the value of $|t_0|>|t_{1/2}|$$ and we reject the $H_0$

The p-value : right tail $H_a:(p>2.8988)$

= 0.00724

Therefore the value of $p_{0.1} > 0.00724$ , and so we reject the $H_0$

Thus we are testing 'the difference of means" in this problem.

Vivian needs to ride her bike to her friend's house 72 miles away. She is riding at an average speed of 14 miles per hours. She

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

No. Vivian will not make it to her friends house.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Vivian will be riding 15 miles per hour, and she has six hours , then in order to find out the distance, we will have to multiply the rate and the time.

Equation : 15x6 = 90

Using this solution, we can easily find out that 90 is less than 96 as shown.

90<96

In conclusion, no Vivian will not make it to her friends house within the 6 hours she has to get there.

Hope this helps!
