Lets get started :)

Writing a polynomial is standard form means arranging them accordingly, in descending power form:

-11x³ - 2 - 9x⁵ - 4x² - 6x⁴ - 14x

The highest power is 5, now we should arrange in decreasing manner
-9x⁵ - 6x⁴ - 11x³ - 4x² - 14x - 2

The leading coefficient is -9

To write it in standard form, you line up the terms from the highest degree (exponent) to the lowerest
− 9x^5− 6x^4 −11x^3− 4x^2− 14x <span>− 2
the leading coefficient refers to the coefficient of the highest degree, which is -9 in this case. </span>

How to determine if the columns of a matrix are linearly independent?

astra-53 [7]

Let's consider an arbitrary 2x2 matrix as an example,

$\mathbf A=\begin{bmatrix}\mathbf x&\mathbf y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}x_1&y_1\\x_2&y_2\end{bmatrix}$

The columns of $\mathbf A$ are linearly independent if and only if the column vectors $\mathbf x,\mathbf y$ are linearly independent.

This is the case if the only way we can make a linear combination of $\mathbf x,\mathbf y$ reduce to the zero vector is to multiply the vectors by 0; that is,

$c_1\mathbf x+c_2\mathbf y=\mathbf 0$

only by letting $c_1=c_2=0$ .

A more concrete example: suppose

$\mathbf A=\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\4&8\end{bmatrix}$

Here, $\mathbf x=\begin{bmatrix}1\\4\end{bmatrix}$ and $\amthbf y=\begin{bmatrix}2\\8\end{bmatrix}$ . Notice that we can get the zero vector by taking $c_1=-2$ and $c_2=1$ :

$-2\begin{bmatrix}1\\4\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}2\\8\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-2+2\\-8+8\end{bmatrix}=\mathbf 0$

so the columns of $\mathbf A$ are not linearly independent, or linearly dependent.

The answer is C, because 2 shapes can have the same area, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're congruent.

At Least One Defective iPhone It has been reported that 20% of iPhones manufactured by Foxconn for a product launch did not meet

bija089 [108]

We can use the binomial theorem to find the probability that 0 out of the 15 samples will be defective, given that 20% are defective.
P(0/15) = (15C0) (0.2)^0 (1 - 0.2)^15 = (1)(1)(0.8)^15 = 0.0352
Then the probability that at least 1 is defective is equal to 1 - 0.0352 = 0.9648. This means there is a 96.48% chance that at least 1 of the 15 samples will be found defective. This is probably sufficient, though it depends on her significance level. If the usual 95% is used, then this is enough.
