Part 3

Mathematics
1 answer:
Luden [163]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

   possible rational roots: ±1/2, ±1, ±5/2, ±5, ±25/2, ±25

   p(x) = (x +1)^2(2x -5)(x^2 -4x +5)

   complex roots: 2±i

   see the last attachment for a graph

Step-by-step explanation:

2. The leading coefficient of p(x) is 2, and the constant term is 25. The Rational Root Theorem tells you possible rational roots will be of the form ...

  ±(divisor of 25)/(divisor of 2)

That is, they are ...

  ±1/2, ±1, ±5/2, ±5, ±25/2, ±25

__

3. Before we get into synthetic division, we choose to see if we can reduce this list any. We note that p(0) = -25. The value of p(1) is the sum of the coefficients:

  p(1) = 2 -9 +6 +22 -20 -25 = 30 -54 = -24

Similarly, the value of p(-1) is the same sum with odd-degree coefficients negated:

  p(-1) = -2 -9 -6 +22 +20 -25 = 42 -42 = 0

So, we found our first root: -1. Using synthetic division, we can reduce the polynomial and start over. See the first attachment for this division.

__

The reduced polynomial is ...

  p1(x) = 2x^4 -11x^3 +17x^2 +5x -25

We already know that +1 is not a of it. Checking -1, we have ...

  p1(-1) = 2 +11 +17 -5 -25 = 0

So, we found our second root: -1. Using synthetic division, we can reduce the polynomial and start over. See the second attachment for this division.

__

The reduced polynomial is ...

  p2(x) = 2x^3 -13x^2 +30x -25

The alternating signs tell us there are no more negative real roots. They also tell us there are 1 or 3 positive real roots. We know p2(0) = -25. Then ...

  p2(1) = 2 -13 +30 -25 = 32 -38 = -6

The average rate of change between these points is (-6 -(-25))/(1 -0) = 19. At this rate, we expect a root between x=1 and x=2. Testing x=2 using synthetic division, we get a remainder of -1. (See the 3rd attachment.) Then the rate of change between x=1 and x=2 is (-1 -(-6))/(2-1) = 5, suggesting x=5/2 might be a worthwhile test value.

The synthetic division is shown in the 4th attachment. You will note that we divide the polynomial p2(x) by its leading coefficient, so the coefficients used for p2(x) in the synthetic division are 1, -13/2, 15, -25/2. The remainder of 0 tells us that (x -5/2) is a factor of p2(x)/2, or (2x -5) is a factor of p2(x).

__

The reduced polynomial is ...

  p3(x) = x^2 -4x +5

This can be written in vertex form as ...

  p3(x) = (x -2)^2 +1

The positive leading coefficient means the graph opens upward, and the vertex at (2, 1) means there are no real solutions.

The real solutions to p(x) are x = -1, -1, and 5/2.

__

4. The complex solutions will be the solutions to ...

  (x -2)^2 +1 = 0

  (x -2)^2 = -1

  x -2 = ±√(-1) = ±i

  x = 2 ±i . . . . complex roots of p(x)

__

5. The graph is shown in the last attachment. The odd degree and positive leading coefficient of p(x) means the overall shape will be from lower left to upper right (/). That is, the sign of the end value of p(x) will match the sign of x.

The graph will touch the x-axis from below at x = -1, and will cross at x = 2.5. There is no particular symmetry.

The final quadratic factor is graphed and its vertex shown. The vertex matches that of the vertex-form equation for p3(x), above.

In a sample of eight whitefish caught in Yellowknife Bay, the mean arsenic concentration in the liver was 0.32 mg/kg, with a sta
Advocard [28]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the concentration in whitefish found in Yellowknife Bay is (0.2698 mg/kg, 0.3702 mg/kg).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 8 - 1 = 7

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 7 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 2.3246

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.3646\frac{0.06}{\sqrt{8}} = 0.0502

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 0.32 - 0.0502 = 0.2698 mg/kg

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 0.32 + 0.0502 = 0.3702 mg/kg

The 95% confidence interval for the concentration in whitefish found in Yellowknife Bay is (0.2698 mg/kg, 0.3702 mg/kg).

Solve: -19 = X - 19 halppppp
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-19 = x - 19

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Add 19 to both sides: 0 = x
  2. Rewrite: x = 0

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

-19 = 0 - 19

-19 = -19

What is the value of x, when 10(x + 2) = 5(x + 8)?
tatuchka [14]
The value of x is 4. The steps to solving the equation are to use distributive property first so that the equation then looks like this: 10x+20=5x+40
Next you would combine like terms and then the equation would look like this: 5x+20=40
Then you would use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 20 from 40 so your equation will now look like this: 5x=20
Then you use the division property of equality to divide 20 by 5 to get x=4

What does a2+b2=c2 mean ps yo you will get 20 points
Lynna [10]

That is for Geometry. So Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2. The Pythagorean Theorem is a formula that gives a relationship between the sides of a right triangle The Pythagorean Theorem only applies to RIGHT triangles. A RIGHT triangle is a triangle with a 90 degree angle.
