$x^{2} -2x-15=0$
P(-15)
s(-2)
$x^{2} -5x+3x-15$
=x(x-5)+3(x-5)
=(x+3)(x-5)
x=5

The weekly salaries of sociologists in the United States are normally distributed and have a known population standard deviation

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

$ME =z_{\alpha/2} \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

The confidence level is 0.98 and the significance is $\alpha=1-0.98 =0.02$ and $\alpha/2 =0.01$ and the critical value using the table is:

$z_{\alpha/2}= 2.326$

And replacing we got:

$ME=2.326 \frac{425}{\sqrt{22}}= 210.760\ approx 210.76$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info given:

$\sigma = 425$ represent the population deviation

$n =22$ the sample size

$\bar X =1520$ represent the sample mean

We want to find the margin of error for the confidence interval for the population mean and we know that is given by:

$ME =z_{\alpha/2} \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

The confidence level is 0.98 and the significance is $\alpha=1-0.98 =0.02$ and $\alpha/2 =0.01$ and the critical value using the table is:

$z_{\alpha/2}= 2.326$

And replacing we got:

$ME=2.326 \frac{425}{\sqrt{22}}= 210.760\ approx 210.76$

Make w the subject of <br> Y-aw=2w-1

Luda [366]

So you're gonna take add 1 to both sides and add aw to both sides also
y+1=2w+aw
then you factorize the w
y+1=w(2+a)
divide 2+a in both sides
y+1/2+a=w
the answer is
y+1/2+a=w

Form the union for the following sets m={} n={6,7,8,9,10}

Levart [38]

Answer:

$M\cup N$ ={6,7,8,9,10}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have an empty set: M={} and the set N={6,7,8,9,10}.

The union of these two sets are elements in M or N or both.

Since the M is a null set, $M\cup N=N$

Therefore: $M\cup N$ ={6,7,8,9,10}.

The union for the given sets is {6,7,8,9,10}.
