Let's actually find the roots, using the quadratic formula:
<span>p(x)=x^2+x+3 gives us a=1, b=1 and c=3.
-1 plus or minus sqrt(1^2-4(1)(3))
Then x = -----------------------------------------------
2
The discriminant here is negative, so the roots x will be complex:
-1 plus or minus sqrt(-11) -1 plus or minus i*sqrt(11)
x = ---------------------------------- = -------------------------------------
2 2
These are irrational roots; they cannot be expressed as the ratios of integers.</span>
I believe the answer is
26
sorry if wrong
if not an answer choice then 168.
Answer:
(0.6430, 0.8170)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that during a recent drought a water utility in a certain town sampled 100 residential water bills and found out that 73 of the residences had reduced their water consumption over that of the previous year.
Sample size n = 100
Sample proportion p = 
q = 1-p = 0.23
Std error of proportion = 
95% Z critical value = 1.96
Margin of error = 
Confidence interval = sample proportion ±margin of error
0.642983946
0.817016054
(0.6430, 0.8170)
