How can you check to see if a value of x is a zero of the polynomial

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mila [183]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  substitute that value for x in the polynomial and see if it evaluates to zero

Step-by-step explanation:

A "zero" of a polynomial is a value of the polynomial's variable that make the expression become zero when it is evaluated. As an almost trivial example, consider the polynomial x-3. The value x = 3 is a zero because substituting that value for x makes the expression evaluate as zero.

  3 -3 = 0

___

Evaluating polynomials can be done different ways. Straight substitution for the variable is one way. Using synthetic division by x-a (where "a" is the value of interest) is another way. This latter method is completely equivalent to rewriting the polynomial to Horner form for evaluation.

__

In the attachment, Horner Form is shown at the bottom.

What is the surface area of a cube whose edges are 11 inches long?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Surface area is the total area of the surface. A cube has 6 surface, and each surface is the same. Each surface is a 11 by 11 square. Therefore there will be 6 11in. x 11in. surfaces. The math would be 11x11x6 =726.

In an experiment you do a chi-square test comparing observed and expected progeny. Your calculated chi square is 0.375. With 1 d
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

It mean that the observed progeny is similar than the expected progeny. There is no a relationship between the categorical variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Chi-squared test is used to test the relationship between categorical variables. A categorical variable is a non-numerical variable. The null hypothesis of the Chi-squared test is that categorical variables are independent; it means that the frequencies are not dependent on the variable. It is important to know that the Chi-squared test does not measure causality, it only measures the relationship. To reject the null hypothesis, you usually need a probability lower than 0.05, but in this case, the probability was way higher than 0.05, it was between 0.5 and 0.9.
