kondaur [170]

Answer:

Null hypothesis = $H_0:p=0.395$

Alternate hypothesis = $H_a:p>0.395$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In a recent semester, the proportion who earned a bachelor's degree within six years was 0.395.

The president of a certain college believes that the proportion of students who enroll in her institution have a higher completion rate.

To Find : Determine the null and alternative hypotheses.

Solution:

In a recent semester, the proportion who earned a bachelor's degree within six years was 0.395.

Claim : the proportion of students who enroll in her institution have a higher completion rate.

So,null hypothesis = $H_0:p=0.395$

Alternate hypothesis = $H_a:p>0.395$

Which of the following represents the zeros of f(x) = 2x3 − 5x2 − 28x + 15?

likoan [24]

$\mathrm{Use\:the\:rational\:root\:theorem}$

$a_0=15,\:\quad a_n=2$

$\mathrm{The\:dividers\:of\:}a_0:\quad 1,\:3,\:5,\:15,\:\quad \mathrm{The\:dividers\:of\:}a_n:\quad 1,\:2$

$\mathrm{Therefore,\:check\:the\:following\:rational\:numbers:\quad }\pm \frac{1,\:3,\:5,\:15}{1,\:2}$

$-\frac{3}{1}\mathrm{\:is\:a\:root\:of\:the\:expression,\:so\:factor\:out\:}x+3$

$\mathrm{Compute\:}\frac{2x^3-5x^2-28x+15}{x+3}\mathrm{\:to\:get\:the\:rest\:of\:the\:eqution:\quad }2x^2-11x+5$

$=\left(x+3\right)\left(2x^2-11x+5\right)$

$Factor: 2x^2-11x+5$

$2x^2-11x+5=\left(2x^2-x\right)+\left(-10x+5\right)$

$=x\left(2x-1\right)-5\left(2x-1\right)$

$2x^3-5x^2-28x+15=\left(x+3\right)\left(x-5\right)\left(2x-1\right)$

$\left(x+3\right)\left(x-5\right)\left(2x-1\right)=0$

$\mathrm{Using\:the\:Zero\:Factor\:Principle:}$

thus zeros of f(x) is

$x=-3,\:x=5,\:x=\frac{1}{2}$

Help now plz it’s due in 8 minutes

Reptile [31]

Answer:

9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Original rectangle: 100 cm by 200 cm

Original area: 100 cm * 200 cm = 20,000 cm^2

Reduced by 70%, the measures are now 30% of they they were.

30% of 100 cm = 30 cm

30% of 200 cm = 60 cm

New area: 30 cm * 60 cm = 1800 cm^3

New area equals what percent of original area?

1800/20,000 * 100 = 9%

a right angled triangle has sides which are 2cm and 7cm shorter than its hypotenuse find the length of the hypoenuse

vekshin1

Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse side is (9 + 2·√7) cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the triangle are;

The type f triangle = Right triangle

The length of the sides 2 cm and 7 cm shorter than the hypotenuse

Let 'h' represent the length of the hypotenuse side of the triangle, in centimeters we have;

The length of one side of the right triangle = (h - 2) cm

The length of the other side of the right triangle = (h - 7) cm

By Pythagoras's theorem, we have;

h² = (h - 2)² + (h - 7)²

Using search function on the internet, we have;

h² = (h - 2)² + (h - 7)² = 2·h² - 18·h + 53

∴ h² = 2·h² - 18·h + 53

∴ 2·h² - 18·h + 53 = h²

h² - 18·h + 53 = 0

53 is a prime number, therefore, by the quadratic formula, we have;

h = (18 ± √((-18)² - 4×1×53))/(2 × 1)

h = 9 + 2·√7 cm ≈ 14.29 cm or h = 9 - 2·√7 ≈ 3.71

However, given that one of the side is 7 cm shorter than the hypotenuse, for all the sides to remain positive, we have h = 9 + 2·√7 cm ≈ 14.29 cm , because for h ≈ 3.71 cm, we have;

The length of the other side = (h - 7) cm ≈ (3.71 - 7) cm ≈ -3.29 cm which is not possible for a real triangle

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse side, h = 9 + 2·√7 cm ≈ 14.29 cm.
