Explain why the polynomial 144x2 − 200x + 81 is not a perfect square.

1 answer:

5 0

The square root of 144x^2 = 12 x
and square root of + 81 = 9 or -9

if this polynomial were a perfect square then its factors would be
(12x - 9)(12x - 9)

but its not a perfect squre because (12x - 9)(12x - 9) = 144x^2 - 216x + 81.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

lower limit : 36.44

upper limit : 39.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

s = 9

n = 90

x = 38.9

Alpha, α = 0.10

∴ $z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05} = 1.645$

The confidence interval is :

$=x \pm\left(z_{\alpha /2} \times \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\right)$

$=38.9 \pm\left(1.645 \times \frac{9}{\sqrt{90}}\right)$

$=38.9 \pm 1.56$

$=(36.44, 39.56)$

Therefore,

lower limit : 36.44

upper limit : 39.56

Answer:x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

So if y is 0, that’s 8(y) which is 0. That means the equation is 2x=12, which means x is 6
