Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Given : p(x)=x^{3} +6x^{2} -7x-60

Solution :

Part A:

First find the potential roots of p(x) using rational root theorem;

So, \text{Possible roots} =\pm\frac{\text{factors of constant term}}{\text{factors of leading coefficient}}

Since constant term = -60

Leading coefficient = 1

\text{Possible roots} =\pm\frac{\text{factors of 60}}{\text{factors of 1}}

\text{Possible roots} =\pm\frac{1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,60}{1}

Thus the possible roots are  \pm1, \pm2, \pm 3, \pm4, \pm5,\pm6, \pm10, \pm12, \pm15, \pm20, \pm60

Thus from the given options the correct answers are -10,-5,3,15

Now For Part B we will use synthetic division

Out of the possible roots we will use the root which gives remainder 0 in synthetic division :

Since we can see in the figure With -5 we are getting 0 remainder.

Refer the attached figure

We have completed the table and have obtained the following resulting coefficients: 1 , 1,−12,0.  All the coefficients except the last one are the coefficients of the quotient, the last coefficient is the remainder.

Thus the quotient is x^{2} +x-12

And remainder is 0 .

So to get the other two factors of the given polynomial we will solve the quotient by middle term splitting

x^{2} +x-12=0

x^{2} +4x-3x-12=0

x(x+4)-3(x+4)=0

(x-3)(x+4)=0

Thus x-3 and x+4 are the other two factors

So , p(x)=(x+5)(x-3)(x+4)

Histogram or Bar Chart? Select which graphical display is most appropriate to describe the distribution for each of the variable
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

a) Bar chart

b) Histogram

c) Bar chart

d) Histogram

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Trash pick-up DAY for each HOUSEHOLD in Ames - This is categorical data because, we are talking about days of the week. For instance, Household 1 might have Sunday as Trash pick-up day and that could be accumulated into frequency. Hence, BAR chart is the most appropriate.

b) Patient WAIT-TIME at ISU. This is continuous (quantitative) data. And the most appropriate is HISTOGRAM.

c) Number of trips taken during a GIVEN SCHOOL YEAR by EACH ISU STUDENT. Let say we have 5 ISU STUDENTS. Student 1 had 5 trips, student 2 had 10 trips, etc.

We want to see which student has the most and least trip in that particular school year. Although is count data but the most appropriate graphical display is BAR chart.

d) TAX BRACKET of ALL Iowa RESIDENTS. This is a continuous (quantitative) data. The most appropriate graphical display is HISTOGRAM.

Answer:

2. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

use the formula A=ab/2

a-leg 1

b-leg 2 (base)

since it is a right triangle the height would be 2 cm and the base would be the leg (4 cm)

plus into the equation- A= 2(4)/2

8/2=4
