For this case we must find an equation, whose solutions are given by:

$x = 2\\x = -3$

Or equivalently:

$(x-2) (x + 3) = 0$

Applying distributive property we have:

$x ^ 2 + 3x-2x-6 = 0\\x ^ 2 + x-6 = 0$

Now, if we multiply both sides of the equation by 2, we have:

$2x ^ 2 + 2x-12 = 0$

Thus, the equation that has the solution $x = 2\ and\ x = -3$ is:

$2x ^ 2 + 2x-12 = 0$

Answer:

$2x ^ 2 + 2x-12 = 0$

Answer:

The null and alternative hypotheses are:

$H_{0}:\mu=75$

$H_{a} : \mu>75$

Under the null hypothesis, the test statistic is:

$t=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Where:

$\bar{x} =83$ is the sample mean

$s=9.8206$ is the sample standard deviation

$n=10$ is the sample size

$\therefore t= \frac{83-75}{\frac{9.8206}{\sqrt{10}} }$

$=2.58$

Now, we can find the right tailed t critical value at 0.01 significance level for df = n-1 = 10 - 1 = 9 using the t distribution table. The t critical value is given below:

$t_{critical} =2.821$

Since the test statistic is less than the t critical value, we therefore, fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the people do better with the new edition.

this graph shows the amount of rain that falls in a given amount of time. what is the slope of the line and what does it mean in

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

-5/-2 or 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you gave two points that I'm guessing are from the graph I think that's the answer. Because when you use the slope formula y2-y1 over x2 - x1 you get -5/-2 or you either get 2.5 meaning that is the slope specifically saying the rate of change. You get 2.5 when you divide -5/-2 incase you need a decimal or want to simplfy it.
