8 0

Answer:

  • 3 or 1 positive real zeros
  • 0 negative real zeros

Step-by-step explanation:

The signs of the coefficients of the given terms are ...

  +  -  +  -

There are three sign changes, so the number of positive real zeros is 3 or 1.

When odd-degree terms have their signs changed, the signs become ...

  -  -  -  -

There are no sign changes, hence no negative real zeros.

garri49 [273]

Complete question:

The manager of a supermarket would like to determine the amount of time that customers wait in a check-out line. He randomly selects 45 customers and records the amount of time from the moment they stand in the back of a line until the moment the cashier scans their first item. He calculates the mean and standard deviation of this sample to be barx = 4.2 minutes and s = 2.0 minutes. If appropriate, find a 90% confidence interval for the true mean time (in minutes) that customers at this supermarket wait in a check-out line

Answer:

(3.699, 4.701)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sample size, n = 45

Sample mean, x' = 4.2

Standard deviation \sigma = 2.0

Required:

Find a 90% CI for true mean time

First find standard error using the formula:

S.E = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

= \frac{2}{\sqrt{45}}

= \frac{2}{6.7082}

SE = 0.298

Standard error = 0.298

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 45 - 1 = 44

To find t at 90% CI,df = 44:

Level of Significance α= 100% - 90% = 10% = 0.10

t_\alpha_/_2_, _d_f = t_0_._0_5_, _d_f_=_4_4 = 1.6802

Find margin of error using the formula:

M.E = S.E * t

M.E = 0.298 * 1.6802

M.E = 0.500938 ≈ 0.5009

Margin of error = 0.5009

Thus, 90% CI = sample mean ± Margin of error

Lower limit = 4.2 - 0.5009 = 3.699

Upper limit = 4.2 + 0.5009 = 4.7009 ≈ 4.701

Confidence Interval = (3.699, 4.701)

Solve –16t² +144= 0 to find the number of seconds, t, it takes for an object dropped from 144 ft above the ground to hit the gro
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

h(t) = -16t2 + 144

h(1) = -16(12) + 144 = 128 ft

h(2) = -16(22) + 144 = 80 ft

h(2) - h(1) = 80 - 128 = -48 ft

It fell 48 ft between t = 1 and t = 2 seconds.

It reaches the ground when h(t) = 0

0 = -16t2 + 144

t = √(144/16) s = 3s

It reaches the ground 3s after being dropped.

Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point (16,-14) with slope 11.
OlgaM077 [116]

The required point-slope form of the equation of the line is y - 5 = -4(x + 1).

Given that, To determine an equation in point-slope form for the line that passes through the point with the given slope. point: (-1, 5) and m=-4.

What is the slope of the line?

The slope of the line is a tangent angle made by line with horizontal. i.e. m =tanx where x in degrees.

Here,

The point-slope of the equation of the line is given by,

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Put the values in the above equation of the line

y - 5 = -4 (x - (-1))

y - 5 = -4 (x + 1)

Thus, the required point-slope form of the equation of the line is y - 5 = -4(x + 1).

4(x+9)=8x-7<br> Solve for x
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

x = 10.75

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x+9)=8x-7

Step 1: Distribute the 4 to the x and 9

4 * x = 4x

4 * 9 = 36

We now have 4x + 36 = 8x - 7

Step 2: add 7 to both sides

36 + 7 = 43

-7 + 7 cancels out

We now have 4x + 43 = 8x

Step 3 subtract 4x from both sides

4x - 4x cancels out

8x - 4x = 4x

We now have 4x = 43

step 4 divide both sides by 4

4x / 4 ( the 4s cancel out and we're left with x )

43/4 = 10.75

We're left with x = 10.75
