Two or zero expresses the possible number of positive real solutions for the given polynomial equation.
Answer: Option D
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Given equation:
First, we put hit and trial method to find out the one solution. So, if we put x=4 then the above expression will become zero. We can also write the above expression as
We know the formula, 
, make use of this, we get
So, 
Hence, from the above expression, we have three values of x as x= 4, 2.64 and -2.64
Answer:
- <u>The correct statement is the first one: </u><u><em>The number of blue-eyed students in Mr. Garcia's class is 2 standard deviations to the right of the mean</em></u><em> </em>
<em />
Explanation:
To calculate how many<em> standard deviations</em> a particular value in a group is from the mean, you can use the z-score:
Where:
is the number of standard deviations the value of x is from the mean
is the mean
is the standard deviation
Substitute in the formula:
Which means that <em>the number of blue-eyed students in Mr. Garcia's class is 2 standard deviations</em> above the mean.
Above the mean is the same that to the right of the mean, because the in the normal standard probability graph the central value is Z = 0 (the z-score of the mean value is 0), the positive values are to the right of the central value, and the negative values are to the left of the central value.
Therefore, the correct statement is the first one: <em>The number of blue-eyed students in Mr. Garcia's class is 2 standard deviations to the right of the mean, </em>
A. Is the answer of this question
Lines are perpendicular if the slope of one is the negative reciprocal of the other. In this case the slopes are -8/3 and 8/3, so while negative they are not reciprocal. So no, the two lines intersect but are not perpendicular.
