Which expression gives the solutions -5x+2x^2=-6x?(1pt)

1 answer:

8 0

This is the concept of algebra, the solution of the given expression will be given as follows;
-5x+2x²=-6x
adding 5x on both sides we get
5x-5x+2x²=-6x+5x
2x²=-x
divide both sides by 2
(2x²)/2=-x/2
x²=-x/2
divide both sides by x
(x²)/x=-x/(2x)
x=-1/2
the answer is x=-1/2

How many complex roots does the polynomial equation below have? x^5 - 3 = 0

const2013 [10]

For any polynomial equation, The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra tells you that the highest degree present will tell you how many complex roots the equation has. There are only two terms, " $x^{5}$ " and "3". The $x^{5}$ term has a degree of 5, its exponent. The 3 term has a degree of zero, because you could write it as $3 * x^{0} = 3 * 1$ using the zero exponent rule.

The degrees present are 5 and 0. Choose the highest one, 5. So, the answer here is D.

A university wants to compare out-of-state applicants' mean SAT math scores (?1) to in-state applicants' mean SAT math scores (?

nordsb [41]

Answer:

d. Yes, because the confidence interval does not contain zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the university looks at 35 in-state applicants and 35 out-of-state applicants. The mean SAT math score for in-state applicants was 540, with a standard deviation of 20.

The mean SAT math score for out-of-state applicants was 555, with a standard deviation of 25.

Firstly, the Pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the difference between the population means is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{(\bar X_1-\bar X_2)-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{s_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} } }$ ~ $t__n__1-_n__2-2$

where, $\bar X_1$ = sample mean SAT math score for in-state applicants = 540

$\bar X_2$ = sample mean SAT math score for out-of-state applicants = 555

$s_1$ = sample standard deviation for in-state applicants = 20

$s_2$ = sample standard deviation for out-of-state applicants = 25

$n_1$ = sample of in-state applicants = 35

$n_2$ = sample of out-of-state applicants = 35

Also, $s_p=\sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)s_1^{2} +(n_2-1)s_2^{2} }{n_1+n_2-2} }$ = $\sqrt{\frac{(35-1)\times 20^{2} +(35-1)\times 25^{2} }{35+35-2} }$ = 22.64

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used Two-sample t test statistics.</em>

So, 95% confidence interval for the difference between population means ( $\mu_1-\mu_2$ ) is ;

P(-1.997 < $t_6_8$ < 1.997) = 0.95 {As the critical value of t at 68 degree

of freedom are -1.997 & 1.997 with P = 2.5%}

P(-1.997 < $\frac{(\bar X_1-\bar X_2)-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{s_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} } }$ < 1.997) = 0.95

P( $-1.997 \times {s_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} } }$ < ${(\bar X_1-\bar X_2)-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}$ < $1.997 \times {s_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} } }$ ) = 0.95

P( $(\bar X_1-\bar X_2)-1.997 \times {s_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} } }$ < ( $\mu_1-\mu_2$ ) < $(\bar X_1-\bar X_2)+1.997 \times {s_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} } }$ ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for</u> ( $\mu_1-\mu_2$ ) =

[ $(\bar X_1-\bar X_2)-1.997 \times {s_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} } }$ , $(\bar X_1-\bar X_2)+1.997 \times {s_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} } }$ ]

=[ $(540-555)-1.997 \times {22.64 \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{35} +\frac{1}{35} } }$ , $(540-555)+1.997 \times {22.64 \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{35} +\frac{1}{35} } }$ ]

= [-25.81 , -4.19]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the difference between population means SAT math score for in-state and out-of-state applicants is [-25.81 , -4.19].

This means that the mean SAT math scores for in-state students and out-of-state students differ because the confidence interval does not contain zero.

So, option d is correct as Yes, because the confidence interval does not contain zero.

Thomas has $6.35 in dimes and quarters. The number of dimes is three more than three times the number of quarters. If q represen

Serhud [2]

3q+3 because if the dimes is 3x as many as the quarter and plus 3 then you would multiply the quarters by 3 then add 3 and that would give you the number of dimes
