To find percent decrease and increase you must subtract the original value (old value) with the new value. Then divide the value you get by the original value and multiply by 100:

165-158 = 7

7÷ 165 × 100 = 4.2424....% or 4.2% rounded to 2 significant figures.

Which statement best describes the roots of the polynomial function<br> (Function in picture)
Alina [70]

Answer:

Root at -4 with multiplicity of 2

Root at 2 with multiplicity of 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You don't actually need to factor this, you can just use Vieta's formulas and deduce the answer by looking at the options.

It states that the product of the roots is equal to the constant over the coefficient of the highest degree term; in this case, it is 16/1=16.

If you take the product of the roots of each answer, you get (from top to bottom) 16, 4, -16, and -4, which means that only the first answer is correct.

What is two times the sum of 6 and some number is 30. What would the number be.?
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The variable "a number" stands for 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the problem as 2 * (6 + x) = 30

Divide 30 into 2. 30/2 = 15

That means that the variable that is added to 6 must make the number 15.

15 - 6 = 9

The variable x is 9 so the equation would be:

2 * (6 + 9) = 30

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Type II error occurred

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a new shampoo is being tested to determine whether the hair grows faster by using this shampoo.

It is known that hair grow at 0.5 inches per month at average.

The hypothesis are,

Null hypothesis, $H_0: \mu=0.5$

Alternate hypothesis, $H_1: \mu>0.5$

But it is known that :

Type $I$ error occurs when rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true actually.

Type $II$ error occurs \text{when we fail reject the null hypothesis} when the null hypothesis is actually false.

Now here since the null hypothesis is not been rejected, type  $II$ error had occurred.
