A town is debating to put curbs along streets. The ratio of town residents who support the act to those who appose is 2 to 5. If

210 people were surveyed, how many people are expected to support the act based on the ratio?

In the ratio, 5 is the max. In the survey, 210 is the max. Now, what times 5 = 210?
You can find that any way you like, though I prefer division.
210÷5 = 42
Therefore, 42 is the number you will multiply by 2 to find you answer.
42×2=84

Based on the ratio 84 people support the act because 210 divided by 5 times 2 is 84

F(x) = 3x^3 - 2x^2 - 11x + 10; (x + 2)<br><br> I need to factor and find the zeros.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

$\textsf{Factored function}: \quad f(x)=(x+2)(3x-5)(x-1)$

$\textsf{Zeros}: \quad x=-2, \quad x=\dfrac{5}{3},\quad x=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given function</u>:

$f(x)=3x^3-2x^2-11x+10$

If (x + 2) is a factor then:

$\implies f(x)=(x+2)(ax^2+bx+c)$

Expand:

$\implies f(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx+2ax^2+2bx+2c$

$\implies f(x)=ax^3+2ax^2+bx^2+2bx+cx+2c$

$\implies f(x)=ax^3+(2a+b)x^2+(2b+c)x+2c$

To find <em>a</em>, compare the coefficients of x³:

$\implies a=3$

To find <em>b</em>, substitute the found value of <em>a</em> into the coefficient for x² and compare:

$\implies 2a+b=-2$

$\implies 2(3)+b=-2$

$\implies b=-8$

To find <em>c</em>, compare the constants:

$\implies 2c=10$

$\implies c=5$

Therefore:

$\implies f(x)=(x+2)(3x^2-8x+5)$

Now factor (3x²-8x+5):

$\implies 3x^2-3x-5x+5$

$\implies 3x(x-1)-5(x-1)$

$\implies (3x-5)(x-1)$

Therefore the factored function is:

$\implies f(x)=(x+2)(3x-5)(x-1)$

<u>Zero Product Property</u>

$\boxed{\text{If \; $a \cdot b = 0$ \; then either \; $a = 0$ \;or \;$b = 0$ (or both)}.}$

To find the zeros, set each factor equal to zero and solve for x:

$\implies x+2=0 \implies x=-2$

$\implies 3x-5=0 \implies x=\dfrac{5}{3}$

$\implies x-1=0 \implies x=1$

Therefore, the zeros of the function are:

$x=-2, \quad x=\dfrac{5}{3},\quad x=1$

5.) What is the mean of the data?<br> 3, 3, 5, 5, 5, 7, 7, 8, 15, 15

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

How to Find the Mean. The mean is the average of the numbers. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. In other words it is the sum divided by the count.

A researcher wants to estimate the percentage of all adults that have used the Internet to seek pre-purchase information in the

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The required sample size for the new study is 801.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

25% of all adults had used the Internet for such a purpose

This means that $\pi = 0.25$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

What is the required sample size for the new study?

This is n for which M = 0.03. So

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.03 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.25*0.75)}{n}}$

$0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.25*0.75}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.25*0.75}}{0.03}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.25*0.75}}{0.03})^2$

$n = 800.3$

Rounding up:

The required sample size for the new study is 801.
