He made a mistake in step #2. It seemed to be a trivial mistake because it involved signs, but it still had a great impact. Since step#2, his solution was already wrong.

Instead of
(-1)²-4(2)(-6) = 1 + 48 = 49

What he did is
(-1)²-4(2)(-6) = -1 + 48 = 47

Answer:

X=-1,y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

if y =2x

2x=4x+2

so X=-1 and y=-2

You want to obtain a sample to estimate a population proportion. At this point in time, you have no reasonable preliminary estim
pogonyaev

Answer:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.025}{1.28})^2}=655.36  

And rounded up we have that n=656

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 80% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.80=0.20 and \alpha/2 =0.10. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.28

Solution to the problem

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

Since we don't have prior info for the proportion of interest we can use \hat p=0.5 as estimator. And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.025 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.025}{1.28})^2}=655.36  

And rounded up we have that n=656

I need help so somebody plz help me
Anettt [7]

Answer: A

This is simple. Absolute value inequalities can NOT have a negative. For D, the absolute value is not completely simplified. The negative sign will be removed in the process of solving it.
