X + Y + Z = 8
2x = Z - 2
X + Z = 5
X = 1
1 + Y + Z = 8
Y + Z = 6
1 + Z = 5
Z = 4
1 + Y + 4 = 8
5 + Y = 8
Y = 3
The variables are 1, 3, 4.

Write a polynomial f (x) that satisfies the given conditions. Polynomial of lowest degree with zeros of -4 (multiplicity 3), 1 (

yuradex [85]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Polynomial f(x) has the following conditions: zeros of -4 (multiplicity 3), 1 (multiplicity 1), and with f(0) = 320.

The first part zeros of -4 means (x+4) and multiplicity 3 means (x+4)^3.

The second part zeros of 1 means (x-1) and multiplicity 1 means (x-1).

The third part f(0) = 320 means substituting x=0 into (x+4)^3*(x-1)*k =320

(0+4)^3*(0-1)*k = 320

-64k = 320

k = -5

Combining all three conditions, f(x)

= -5(x+4)^3*(x-1)

= -5(x^3 + 3*4*x^2 + 3*4*4*x + 4^3)(x-1)

= -5(x^4 + 12x^3 + 48x^2 + 64x - x^3 - 12x^2 - 48x - 64)

= -5(x^4 + 11x^3 + 36x^2 + 16x -64)

= -5x^3 -55x^3 - 180x^2 - 80x + 320

the mean of the commute time to work for a resident of a certain city is 28.8 minutes. assume the standard deviation of the comm

hjlf

Answer:

The minimum percentage of the commuters in the city has a commute time within 2 standard deviations of the mean is 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have no information about the shape of the distribution, so we use Chebyshev's Theorem to solve this question.

Chebyshev Theorem

At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by $100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}})$ .

Applying the Theorem

The minimum percentage of the commuters in the city has a commute time within 2 standard deviations of the mean is 75%.

please help 30 points !! in a proportional relationship when Y=2 when X=8 Which of the following equations would describe this r

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

(1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We will try:

(1) y = $\frac{1}{4}$ x => 2 = 2 (seems legit)

(2) y = 4x => 2 = 32 (nope)

(3) y = x - 6 => 2 = 2 (yes but actually no because it is proportional relationship)

(4) y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 2 => 2 = 2 (like the above)
