How do you solve x^2-1=0 by graphing

1 answer:

4 0

If you're able to plug it into your graphing calculator and graph it that way, do that and then find where x=0 (or where it intersects the x axis).

If you can't use your graphing calculator, first recognize it is only a transition from the graph of x^2, which is a parabola having a minimum at (0,0). The "-1" would move the entire graph down one point, therefor the new minimum being at (0,-1). Then find where x=0.

The margin of error for 324 adults surveyed with 1.6 standard deviations is 0.1742.

<h3>What is the margin of error?</h3>

The margin of error can be defined as the amount of random sampling error in the results of a survey. It is given by the formula,

$\text{MOE}_{\gamma}=z_{\gamma} \times \sqrt{\frac{\sigma^{2}}{n}}$

$\text{MOE}$ = margin of error

$\gamma$ = confidence level

$z_{\gamma}$ = quantile

σ = standard deviation

n = sample size

As it is given that the sample size of the survey is 324, while the standard deviation of the survey is 1.6.

We know that the value of the z for 95% confidence interval is 1.96. Therefore, using the formula of the standard of error we can write it as,

$\text{MOE}_{\gamma}=z_{\gamma} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma^{2}}{n}}\\\\\text{MOE}_{\gamma}=1.96 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{1.6^{2}}{324}}\\\\\text{MOE}_{\gamma}=0.1742$
