Price of a bag of fertilizer increased from $8 t0 $15
thus the price increase =    $7
% increase = 7/8 * 100 =  87.5%
in decimal    =    0.875                      divide by 100
in fraction    =      875/1000

Find a cubic polynomial with integer coefficients that has $\sqrt[3]{2} + \sqrt[3]{4}$ as a root.
Paul [167]

Find the powers a=\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}

$a^{2}=5+2 \sqrt{6}$

$a^{3}=11 \sqrt{2}+9 \sqrt{3}$

The cubic term gives us a clue, we can use a linear combination to eliminate the root 3 term $a^{3}-9 a=2 \sqrt{2}$ Square $\left(a^{3}-9 a\right)^{2}=8$ which gives one solution. Expand we have $a^{6}-18 a^{4}-81 a^{2}=8$ Hence the polynomial $x^{6}-18 x^{4}-81 x^{2}-8$ will have a as a solution.

Note this is not the simplest solution as $x^{6}-18 x^{4}-81 x^{2}-8=\left(x^{2}-8\right)\left(x^{4}-10 x^{2}+1\right)$

so fits with the other answers.

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) includes a mathematics test for eighth-graders. Scores on the test range
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Its standard deviation is 3.79.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

\sigma = 125, n = 1089

So

s = \frac{125}{\sqrt{1089}} = 3.79

Its standard deviation is 3.79.
