Consider the equation x^6+6x^3+5=0.

First, you can use the substitution t=x^3, then x^6=(x^3)^2=t^2 and equation becomes t^2+6t+5=0. This equation is quadratic, so

D=6^2-4\cdot 5\cdot 1=36-20=16=4^2,\ \sqrt{D}=4,\\ \\ t_{1,2}=\dfrac{-6\pm 4}{2} =-5,-1.

Then you can factor this equation:

(t+5)(t+1)=0.

Use the made substitution again:

(x^3+5)(x^3+1)=0.

You have in each brackets the expression like a^3+b^3 that is equal to (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2). Thus,

x^3+5=(x+\sqrt[3]{5})(x^2-\sqrt[3]{5}x+\sqrt[3]{25}) ,\\x^3+1=(x+1)(x^2-x+1)

and the equation is

(x+\sqrt[3]{5})(x^2-\sqrt[3]{5}x+\sqrt[3]{25})(x+1)(x^2-x+1)=0.

Here x_1=-\sqrt[3]{5} , x_2=-1 and you can sheck whether quadratic trinomials have real roots:

1. D_1=(-\sqrt[3]{5}) ^2-4\cdot \sqrt[3]{25}=\sqrt[3]{25} -4\sqrt[3]{25} =-3\sqrt[3]{25}.

2. D_2=(-1)^2-4\cdot 1=1-4=-3.

This means that quadratic trinomials don't have real roots.

Answer: x_1=-\sqrt[3]{5} , x_2=-1

If you need complex roots, then

x_{3,4}=\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{5}\pm i\sqrt{3\sqrt[3]{25}}}{2}   ,\\ \\x_{5,6}=\dfrac{1\pm i\sqrt{3}}{2}.

Zappos is an online retailer based in Nevada and employs 1,300 employees. One of their competitors, Amazon, would like to test t
Amanda [17]

Answer:

t=\frac{33.9-36}{\frac{4.1}{\sqrt{22}}}=-2.402    

df = n-1= 22-1=21

t_{\alpha/2}= -2.08

Since the calculated values is lower than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at the significance level of 2.5% and we can say that the true mean is lower than 36 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

\bar X=33.9 represent the sample mean

s=4.1 represent the sample standard deviation

n=22 sample size  

\mu_o =26 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.025 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

System of hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is less than 36 years old, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 36  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 36  

The statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

And replacing we got:

t=\frac{33.9-36}{\frac{4.1}{\sqrt{22}}}=-2.402    

Now we can calculate the critical value but first we need to find the degreed of freedom:

df = n-1= 22-1=21

So we need to find a critical value in the t distribution with df =21 who accumulates 0.025 of the area in the left and we got:

t_{\alpha/2}= -2.08

Since the calculated values is lower than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at the significance level of 2.5% and we can say that the true mean is lower than 36 years old

Simplify the rational expression. State any restrictions on the variable n^4-11n^2+30/ n^4-7n^2+10
djyliett [7]
To factor both numerator and denominator in this rational expression we are going to substitute n^{2} with x; so n^{2} =x and n ^{4} =  x^{2}. This way we can rewrite the expression as follows:
\frac{n^{4}-11n^{2} +30 }{n^{2}-7n^{2} +10 } =  \frac{ x^{2} -11x+30}{ x^{2} -7x+10}
Now we have two much easier to factor expressions of the form a x^{2} +bx+c. For the numerator we need to find two numbers whose product is c (30) and its sum b (-11); those numbers are -5 and -6. (-5)(-6)=30 and -5-6=-11.
Similarly, for the denominator those numbers are -2 and -5. (-2)(-5)=10 and -2-5=-7. Now we can factor both numerator and denominator:
\frac{ x^{2} -11x+30}{ x^{2} -7x+10} = \frac{(x-6)(x-5)}{(x-2)(x-5)}
Notice that we have (x-5) in both numerator and denominator, so we can cancel those out:
\frac{x-6}{x-2}
But remember than x= n^{2}, so lets replace that to get back to our original variable:
\frac{n^{2}-6 }{n^{2}-2 }
Last but not least, the denominator of rational expression can't be zero, so the only restriction in the variable is n^{2} -2 \neq 0
n^{2}  \neq 2
n \neq +or- \sqrt{2}
