Answer:

The company should guarantee a lifetime of less than equal to 20.95 years so that less than 3% of the television sets fail while under warranty.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 36 years

Standard Deviation, σ = 8 years

We are given that the distribution of life of television sets is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.03.

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 36}{8})=0.03  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

\displaystyle\frac{x - 36}{8} =-1.881\\\\x = 20.952\approx 20.95  

Thus, the company should guarantee a lifetime of less than or equal to 20.95 years so that less than 3% of the television sets fail while under warranty.

Answer:Always put the image on top when you are trying to make it into a fraction, and put the pre-image on the bottom. Since the image is 18 we put the it on top and the 8 (pre-image) on the bottom 18. 18/8. Divide it.  18 ÷ 8.

Which mixed number is equivalent to the improper function below? 46/10
Valentin [98]

Answer:

B. 4 and 6/10

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to find this answer i've always had a trick where i first off find an even number to divide these with and in this case that would be 4 and then the leftovers would be 6/10 and in this case your answer would be right there 4 and 6/10 but if needed to be simplified it would be 4 and 3/5

hope this helps, if it did please make sure to like and rate and give me the brainliest if possible!

have a good day!

Answer:

  a) positive real zeros: 2 or 0; negative real zeros: 2 or 0; complex zeros: 0, 2, or 4. (rule of signs)

  b) ∪-shaped, as for an even-degree polynomial with positive leading coefficient. See attached.

  c, d) See attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Descarte's rule of signs gives bounds on the number of positive and negative real roots. The numbers it gives may be reduced by multiples of 2, as complex roots will come in conjugate pairs. The total number of roots of all kinds will match the degree of the polynomial.

Synthetic division is essentially polynomial long division with some modifications:

  • the variables are omitted ("place value" is used instead)
  • the constant in the divisor is <em>negated</em> so its product with the partial quotient can be <em>added</em> to obtain the new dividend
  • the divisor binomial is assumed to have a leading coefficient of 1.

__

<h3>a) </h3>

The signs of the terms of the given polynomial are + - - - +. There are two sign changes, so 2 possible positive real roots.

When the signs of the odd-degree terms are changed, the signs become + + - + +. There are still two sign changes, so 2 possible negative real roots.

Either or both of these numbers can be reduced by 2 if the roots include a conjugate pair. That is, there may also be 0 possible positive real roots, and 0 possible negative real roots.

The number of non-real (complex) zeros may be any multiple of 2 up to the degree of the polynomial. The may be 0, 2, or 4 possible non-real zeros.

__

<h3>b)</h3>

The graph is the first attachment. It shows 4 real zeros: x = -4, -2, 1, 6.

Since the polynomial is of even degree (4) and has a positive leading coefficient (+1), we expect the general shape to be ∪-shaped. It is.

__

<h3>c)</h3>

The second attachment shows synthetic division using x = -4. (The binomial divisor is (x+4).) The remainder (lower right value in the tableau) is the value of y when x=-4. The third attachment shows synthetic division using the value x=3. (y is -210 when x=3.)

Maybe this is the table you want:

  \begin{array}{|c|c|c|}\cline{1-3}x&-4&3\\\cline{1-3}y&0&-210\\\cline{1-3}\end{array}

__

<h3>d)</h3>

The second attachment shows synthetic division by the factor (x+4).

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The synthetic division attachments show instructions for carrying out the synthetic division and interpreting the results. As we said above, "the entry on the left" is the opposite of the constant in the binomial divisor. It is the actual value of x you want to use to evaluate the function.

The equations shown are merely for the purpose of indicating the operations that are used. An actual synthetic division tableau is simply a 3-row table of numbers, with the bottom row being the quotient coefficients and remainder.
