Suppose the roots of the polynomial $x^2 - mx + n$ are positive prime integers (not necessarily distinct). Given that $m < 20

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

<em>18</em> values for n are possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic polynomial:

$x^2 - mx + n$

such that:

Roots are positive prime integers and

$m < 20$

To find:

How many possible values of $n$ are there ?

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the sum and product of a quadratic equation.

If the quadratic equation is:

$Ax^{2} +Bx+C$

and the roots are: $\alpha$ and $\beta$

Then sum of roots, $\alpha+\beta = -\frac{B}{A}$

Product of roots, $\alpha \beta = \frac{C}{A}$

Comparing the given equation with standard equation, we get:

A = 1, B = -m and C = n

Sum of roots, $\alpha+\beta = -\frac{-m}{1} = m$

Product of roots, $\alpha \beta = \frac{n}{1} = n$

We are given that $m$

$\alpha$ and $\beta$ are positive prime integers such that their sum is less than 20.

Let us have a look at some of the positive prime integers:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 23, 29, .....

Now, we have to choose two such prime integers from above list such that their sum is less than 20 and the roots can be repetitive as well.

So, possible combinations and possible value of $n (= \alpha \times \beta)$ are:

$1.\ 2, 2\Rightarrow n = 2\times 2 = 4\\2.\ 2, 3 \Rightarrow n = 6\\3.\ 2, 5 \Rightarrow n = 10\\4.\ 2, 7\Rightarrow n = 14\\5.\ 2, 11 \Rightarrow n = 22\\6.\ 2, 13 \Rightarrow n = 26\\7.\ 2, 17 \Rightarrow n = 34\\8.\ 3, 3\Rightarrow n = 3\times 3 = 9\\9.\ 3, 5 \Rightarrow n = 15\\10.\ 3, 7 \Rightarrow n = 21\\$

$11.\ 3, 11\Rightarrow n = 33\\12.\ 3, 13 \Rightarrow n = 39\\13.\ 5, 5 \Rightarrow n = 25\\14.\ 5, 7 \Rightarrow n = 35\\15.\ 5, 11 \Rightarrow n = 55\\16.\ 5, 13 \Rightarrow n = 65\\17.\ 7, 7 \Rightarrow n = 49\\18.\ 7, 11 \Rightarrow n = 77$

So,as shown above <em>18 values for n are possible.</em>

* PLEASE ANSWER TY!! * If BC is tangent to circle O and OB is a radius, what kind of triangle is OBC?

ipn [44]

Answer:

Right Triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

BC is tangent to circle O, and since radius OB is perpendicular to this tangent, then the triangle must have a right angles in it, making it a right triangle.

The triangle could also be scalene, but that is not for sure, meaning it is primarily a right triangle.

Farah harvests 20 pounds of tomatoes from her garden. She needs 4 4/5 pounds to make a batch of soup. Additionally, if she uses

Romashka [77]

Answer:

1 batch

Step-by-step explanation:

Farah needs 4 and 4/5 pounds of tomatoes & and additional 5 and 3/5 pounds of tomatoes to make soup.

4.8 + 5.6 = 10.5 pounds per soup

10.5*2 = 21 > 20 pounds

Farah would need one more pound of tomatoes in order to make 2 batches of soup. Therefore she can only make 1 batch.

Masja [62]

X=3
$22 \div 2 = 11$
$8 + 3 = 11$

Step By Step:

find x

The attached Excel file 2013 NCAA BB Tournament shows the salaries paid to the coaches of 62 of the 68 teams in the 2013 NCAA ba

PSYCHO15rus [73]

The question is incomplete! Complete question along with answer and step by step explanation is provided below.

Question:

The attached Excel file 2013 NCAA BB Tournament shows the salaries paid to the coaches of 62 of the 68 teams in the 2013 NCAA basketball tournament (not all private schools report their coach's salaries). Consider these 62 salaries to be a sample from the population of salaries of all 346 NCAA Division I basketball coaches.

Question 1. Use the 62 salaries from the TOTAL PAY column to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean salary of all basketball coaches in NCAA Division I.

xbar = $1,465,752

SD = $1,346,046.2

lower bound of confidence interval ________

upper bound of confidence interval _______

Question 2. Coach Mike Krzyzewski's high salary is an outlier and could be significantly affecting the confidence interval results. Remove Coach Krzyzewski's salary from the data and recalculate the 95% confidence interval using the remaining 61 salaries.

xbar = $1,371,191

SD = $1,130,666.5

lower bound of confidence interval _________

upper bound of confidence interval. ________

Answer:

Question 1:

lower bound of confidence interval = $1,124,027

upper bound of confidence interval = $1,807,477

Question 2:

lower bound of confidence interval = $1,081,512

upper bound of confidence interval = $1,660,870

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

The sample mean salary of 62 couches is

$\bar{x} = 1,465,752$

The standard deviation of mean salary is

$s = 1,346,046.2$

The confidence interval for the mean salary of all basketball coaches is given by

$CI = \bar{x} \pm t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } )$

Where $\bar{x}$ is the sample mean, n is the sample size, s is the sample standard deviation and $t_{\alpha/2}$ is the t-score corresponding to a 95% confidence level.

The t-score corresponding to a 95% confidence level is

Significance level = α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 62 - 1 = 61

From the t-table at α = 0.025 and DoF = 61

t-score = 1.999

So the required 95% confidence interval is

$CI = \bar{x} \pm t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) \\\\CI = 1,465,752 \pm 1.999 \cdot (\frac{1,346,046.2}{\sqrt{62} } ) \\\\CI = 1,465,752 \pm 1.999 \cdot (170948.04 ) \\\\CI = 1,465,752 \pm 341,725 \\\\LCI = 1,465,752 - 341,725 = 1,124,027 \\\\UCI = 1,465,752 + 341,725 = 1,807,477\\\\$

Question 2:

After removing the Coach Krzyzewski's salary from the data

The sample mean salary of 61 couches is

$\bar{x} = 1,371,191$

The standard deviation of the mean salary is

$s = 1,130,666.5$

The t-score corresponding to a 95% confidence level is

Significance level = α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 61 - 1 = 60

From the t-table at α = 0.025 and DoF = 60

t-score = 2.001

So the required 95% confidence interval is

$CI = \bar{x} \pm t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) \\\\CI = 1,371,191 \pm 2.001 \cdot (\frac{1,130,666.5}{\sqrt{61} } ) \\\\CI = 1,371,191 \pm 2.001 \cdot (144767 ) \\\\CI = 1,371,191 \pm 289,678.8 \\\\LCI = 1,371,191 - 289,678.8 = 1,081,512 \\\\UCI = 1,371,191 + 289,678.8 = 1,660,870\\\\$
