Answer:

(x - 1)( x - 2) (x + 2) = x³ -x² -4x + 4.

Explanation:

1) Given equation:

    3             5x            x + 2
- ------- +  -------- =  ---------------
 x + 2        x - 1       x² - 3x + 2

2) So, the denominators are x + 2, x - 1, and x² - 3x + 2

3) The LCD is the product of the common and non common factors raised to the greatest power.

4) x + 2, and x - 1 are already prime factors

5) Factor x² - 3x + 2

x² - 3x + 2 = (x - 2)(x - 1)

6) Then, the factors are x + 2, x - 1, and x - 2, and the LCD is the product of them:
(x - 1)( x - 2) (x + 2)

7) If you expand the products (distributive property) you get:
x³ -x² -4x + 4.

A 9,000-lb load is suspended from the roof in a shopping mall with a 16-ft-long solid aluminum rod. The modulus of elasticity of
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

elongation, x = 0.50 in

Force, f = 9000 lb

Young modulus, E = 10,000,000 psi

Maximum Stress, Sm = 30000 psi

Length, L = 16 ft

Converting ft to in,

12 in = 1 ft

=16 × 12 = 192 in

Young modulus, E = stress/strain

Stress = force/area, A

Strain = elongation, x/Length, L

E = f × L/A × E

1 × 10^7 = stress/(0.5/16)

= 26041.7 psi

Minimum stress = 26041.7 psi

Maximum stress = 30,000 psi

Stress = force/area

Area = 9000/26041.7

= 0.3456 in^2

Stress = force/area

Area = 9000/30000

= 0.3 in^2

Using minimum area of 0.3 in^2,

A = (pi/4)(d^2)

0.3 in^2 = (pi/4)(d^2)

d = 0.618 inches

diameter, d = 0.618 inches

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

[0.7210,0.8189] = [72.10%, 81.89%]

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample size is  

n = 200

the proportion is

p = 154/200 = 0.77

<em>Since both np ≥ 10 and n(1-p) ≥ 10 </em>

<em>We can approximate this discrete binomial distribution with the continuous Normal distribution. As the sample size is large enough, not applying the continuity correction factor makes no significant  difference. </em>

The approximation would be to a Normal curve with this parameters:

<em>Mean </em>

p = 0.77

<em>Standard deviation </em>

\bf s=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.77*0.23}{200}}=0.0298

The 90% confidence interval for the proportion would be then  

\bf  [0.77-z^*0.0298, 0.77+z^*0.0298]

where \bf z^* is the 10% critical value for the Normal N(0,1) distribution , this is a value such that the area under the N(0,1) curve outside the interval \bf [-z^*,z^*] is 10%=0.1

We can either use a table, a calculator or a spreadsheet to get this value.

In Excel or OpenOffice Calc we use the function

<em>NORMSINV(0.95) and we get a value of 1.645 </em>

The 90% confidence interval for the proportion is then

\bf  [0.77-1.645^*0.0298, 0.77+1.645^*0.0298]=[0.7210,0.8189]

This means there is a 90% probability that the proportion of people who watch educational television is between 72.10% and 81.89%

If the television company wanted to publicize the proportion of viewers, do you think it should use the 90% confidence interval?

Yes, I do.
