Heather runs 7 miles in 80 minutes.

At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 64 minutes?

Let x represent miles would she run in 64 minutes?

Question Sets Up the Proportion

7/80= x/63 |Cross Multiplying to solve for x

x = 7*64/80

x = 5.6mi

Hope this helps!

15. Divide the polynomial x^3 + x^2 - 2x + 3 by (x - 1).

Stels [109]

Answer:

x² + 2x + [3\x - 1]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the divisor is in the form of x - c, use what is called Synthetic Division. Remember, in this formula, -c gives you the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so do not forget it. Anyway, here is how it is done:

1| 1 1 -2 3

↓ 1 2 0

------------------

1 2 0 3 → x² + 2x + [3\x - 1]

You start by placing the c in the top left corner, then list all the coefficients of your dividend [x² + 5x - 36]. You bring down the original term closest to c then begin your multiplication. Now depending on what symbol your result is tells you whether the next step is to subtract or add, then you continue this process starting with multiplication all the way up until you reach the end. Now, when the last term is 0, that means you have no remainder, which in this case is a 3, so what you is set the divisor underneath the remainder of 3. Finally, your quotient is one degree less than your dividend, so that 1 in your quotient can be an x², 2 becomes 2x, and the remainder of 3 is set over the divisor, giving you the other factor of x² + 2x + [3\x - 1].

A recent survey of 50 executives who were laid off during a recent recession revealed it took a mean of 26 weeks for them to fin

g100num [7]

Answer: $(24.28,\ 27.72)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : $n=50$

Sample mean : $\overline{x}=26$

Standard deviation : $\sigma =6.2$

Significance level : $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$

Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

Formula to find the confidence interval for population mean :-

$\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=26\pm(1.96)\dfrac{6.2}{\sqrt{50}}\\\\\approx26\pm1.72\\\\=(26-1.72,\ 26+1.72)\\\\=(24.28,\ 27.72)$
