slope = - $\frac{9}{5}$

using the points on the line ( - 4, 5 ) and ( 1, - 4 )

slope = ( - 4 - 5 )/( 1 - ( - 4 )) = - $\frac{9}{5}$

Dennis stood on a 9 foot ladder to measure the sunflower. How much taller is the tallest sunflower than the ladder?

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Ladder = 9ft$

$Tallest\ Sunflower = x$

Required

How much taller is the tallest

To get this, we simply calculate the difference between the height of the tallest sunflower and the ladder.

i.e.

$Difference = Tallest\ Sunflower - Ladder$

$Difference = x - 9$

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

If for instance, the tallest is 13ft, then it is 4ft taller.

Because:

$Difference = 13ft - 9ft$

$Difference = 4ft$

The p-value for a one-sided test of the population proportion is 0.0513. Which of

uysha [10]

Using the equation of the test statistic, it is found that with an increased sample size, the test statistic would decrease and the p-value would increase.

<h3>How to find the p-value of a test?</h3>

It depends on the test statistic z, as follows.

For a left-tailed test, it is the area under the normal curve to the left of z, which is the <u>p-value of z</u>.

For a right-tailed test, it is the area under the normal curve to the right of z, which is <u>1 subtracted by the p-value of z</u>.

For a two-tailed test, it is the area under the normal curve to the left of -z combined with the area to the right of z, hence it is <u>2 multiplied by 1 subtracted by the p-value of z</u>.

In all cases, a higher test statistic leads to a lower p-value, and vice-versa.

<h3>What is the equation for the test statistic?</h3>

The equation is given by:

$t = \frac{\overline{X} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$

The parameters are:

$\overline{X}$ is the sample mean.

$\mu$ is the tested value.

s is the standard deviation.

n is the sample size.

From this, it is taken that if the sample size was increased with all other parameters remaining the same, the test statistic would decrease, and the p-value would increase.

Find the zeros of polynomial function and solve polynomials equations.<br> f(x)=24x^3-64x^2-21x+56

8090 [49]

Since this polynomial has 4 terms, factoring by grouping should be the first thing we try here.

So, we have:

$8x^2(3x-8)-7(3x-8)=0 \implies\\ (8x^2-7)(3x-8)=0$

So, we can use ZPP to find out roots:

$3x-8 =0 \implies\\ x=\frac{8}{3}\\ 8x^2-7=0 \implies \\ 8x^2=7 \implies \\ x^2=\frac{7}{8} \implies \\ x=\pm\frac{\sqrt{7}}{\sqrt{{8}}}\\ \text{Rationalizing denominator:}\\ x=\pm\frac{\sqrt{56}}{8}$

So our three roots are:

$x \in \{\frac{8}{3},\frac{\sqrt{56}}{8},-\frac{\sqrt{56}}{8}\}$
