Answer:

The x-intercepts are x = 1 , x = 2 , x = 3

The y-intercept is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- To find the x-intercept of a function substitute f(x) by 0

- To find the y-intercept of a function substitute x by 0

- To find the factors of quadratic function use the long division

* Lets solve the problem

∵ f(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6

∵ (x - 3) is one of its factors

- Use the long division to find the other factors

∵ x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6 ⇒ dividend

∵ x - 3 ⇒ divisor

# Divide the 1st term in the dividend by the 1st term of the divisor

∵ x³ ÷ x = x²

# Multiply x² by the divisor (x - 3)

∵ x²(x - 3) = x³ - 3x²

# subtract it from the dividend

∵ (x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6) - (x³ - 3x²) = (x³ - x³) + (-6x² + 3x²) +11x - 6

∴ The dividend is -3x² + 11x - 6

# Divide the 1st term in the dividend by the 1st term of the divisor

∵ -3x² ÷ x = -3x

# Multiply -3x by the divisor (x - 3)

∴ -3x(x - 3) = -3x² + 9x

# subtract it from the dividend

∵ (-3x² + 11x - 6) - (-3x² + 9x) = (-3x² - 3x²) + (11x - 9x) - 6

∴ The dividend is 2x - 6

# Divide the 1st term in the dividend by the 1st term of the divisor

∵ 2x ÷ x = 2

# Multiply 2 by the divisor (x - 3)

∴ 2(x - 3) = 2x - 6

# subtract it from the dividend

∴ (2x - 6) - (2x - 6) = (2x - 2x) + (-6 + 6) = 0

∴ (x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6) ÷ (x - 3) = x² - 3x + 2

∴ The factors of f(x) are (x - 3)( x² - 3x + 2)

- The factor (x² - 3x + 2) can factorize into two bracket

∵ The last term is positive and the middle term is negative than the

   two brackets have the middle sign (-)

∵ x × x = x² ⇒ 1st terms in the two brackets

∵ 2 × 1 = 2 ⇒ 2nd terms in the two brackets

∵ 2 × x = 2x

∵ 1 × x = x

∵ 2x + x = 3x

∴  (x² - 3x + 2) = (x - 2)(x - 1)

∴ f(x) = (x - 3)(x - 2)(x - 1)

- To find the x-intercept put f(x) = 0

∴ (x - 3)(x - 2)(x - 1) = 0

- That means each bracket = 0

∵ x - 3 = 0 ⇒ add 3 for both sides

∴ x = 3

∵ x - 2 = 0 ⇒ add 2 for both sides

∴ x = 2

∵ x - 1 = 0 ⇒ add 1 for both sides

∴ x = 1

∴ The x-intercepts are x = 1 , x = 2 , x = 3

- To find the y-intercept put x = 0

∵ f(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6

∵ x = 0

∴ f(0) = 0 - 0 + 0 - 6 = -6

∴ The y-intercept is -6

A simple random sample of size n equals 200 individuals who are currently employed is asked if they work at home at least once p
____ [38]

Answer: 99% of confidence interval for the population proportion of employed individuals who work at home at-least once per week

//0.20113,0.20887[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>step 1:-</u>

Given sample  size n=200

of the 200 employed individuals surveyed 41 responded that they did work at home at least once per week

 Population proportion of employed individuals who work at home at least once per week  P = \frac{x}{n} =\frac{41}{200} =0.205

Q=1-P= 1-0.205 = 0.705

<u>step 2:-</u>

Now  \sqrt{\frac{P Q}{n} } =\sqrt{\frac{(0.205)(0.705)}{200} }

=0.0015

<u>step 3:-</u>

<u>Confidence intervals</u>

<u>using formula</u>

(P  -  Z_∝} \sqrt{\frac{P Q}{n},} (P  +  Z_∝} \sqrt{\frac{P Q}{n},

(0.205-2.58(0.0015),0.205+2.58(0.0015)\\0.20113,0.20887

=0.20113,0.20887[/tex]

<u>conclusion:</u>-

99% of confidence interval for the population proportion of employed individuals who work at home at-least once per week

//0.20113,0.20887[/tex]
