Answer:

The discriminant of the given polynomial is 89.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is

P(x)=2x^2+5x-8            .... (1)

If a polynomial is defined as

P(x)=ax^2+bx+c            .... (2)

then the discriminant of the polynomial is

D=b^2-4ac

From (1) and (2), we get

a=2,b=5,c=-8

The discriminant of the given polynomial is

D=(5)^2-4(2)(-8)

D=25+64

D=89

Therefore the discriminant of the given polynomial is 89.

What is the inverse of the function F(x)= 19/x^3?
AleksAgata [21]

set f(x) equal to y

y = 19/ x^3

swap x and y

x = 19/y^3

make y the subject

xy^3 = 19

y^3 = 19/x

y =  \sqrt[3]{ \frac{19}{x} }

then just replace y with f^-1(x)

f(x) =  \sqrt[3]{ \frac{19}{x} }

hope this helped! have a good day ~ •lipika•

Calibrating a scale:
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

We conclude that the calibration point is set too high.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ =  1000 grams

Sample mean, \bar{x} =  1001.1 grams

Sample size, n = 50

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = 2.8 grams

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 1000\text{ grams}\\H_A: \mu > 1000\text{ grams}

We use One-tailed(right) z test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{ 1001.1 - 1000}{\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{50}} } = 2.778

Now, z_{critical} \text{ at 0.01 level of significance } = 2.326

Since,  

z_{stat} > z_{critical}

We reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. We accept the alternate hypothesis. We conclude that the calibration point is set too high.
