Is (a-3)(2a^2 + 3a + 3) equivalent to 2(a^3 - 1.5a^2 - 3a - 4.5)

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

(a-3)(2a^2 + 3a + 3) = a(2a^2 + 3a + 3) -3(2a^2 + 3a + 3)

  = 2a^3 +3a^2 +3a -6a^2 -9a -9

  = 2a^3 +a^2(3 -6) +a(3 -9) -9

  = 2a^3 -3a^2 -6a -9

  = 2(a^3 -1.5a^2 -3a -4.5) . . . . the form you're asking about

<h3>Answer: Yes they are equivalent</h3>

==============================================

Work Shown:

Expand out the first expression to get

(a-3)(2a^2 + 3a + 3)

a(2a^2 + 3a + 3) - 3(2a^2 + 3a + 3)

2a^3 + 3a^2 + 3a - 6a^2 - 9a - 9

2a^3 + (3a^2-6a^2) + (3a-9a) - 9

2a^3 - 3a^2 - 6a - 9

Divide every term by 2 so we can pull out a 2 through the distributive property

2a^3 - 3a^2 - 6a - 9 = 2(a^3 - 1.5a^2 - 3a - 4.5)

This shows that (a-3)(2a^2 + 3a + 3) is equivalent to 2(a^3 - 1.5a^2 - 3a - 4.5)

Calculus graph please help
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the graph of <em>y</em> = f'(x) and we want to determine the characteristics of f(x).

Part A)

<em>f</em> is increasing whenever <em>f'</em> is positive and decreasing whenever <em>f'</em> is negative.

Hence, <em>f</em> is increasing for the interval:

(-\infty, -2) \cup (-1, 1)\cup (3, \infty)

And <em>f</em> is decreasing for the interval:

\displaystyle (-2, -1) \cup (1, 3)

Part B)

<em>f</em> has a relative maximum at <em>x</em> = <em>c</em> if <em>f'</em> turns from positive to negative at <em>c</em> and a relative minimum if <em>f'</em> turns from negative to positive to negative at <em>c</em>.

<em>f'</em> turns from positive to negative at <em>x</em> = -2 and <em>x</em> = 1.

And <em>f'</em> turns from negative to positive at <em>x</em> = -1 and <em>x</em> = 3.

Hence, <em>f</em> has relative maximums at <em>x</em> = -2 and <em>x</em> = 1, and relative minimums at <em>x</em> = -1 and <em>x</em> = 3.

Part C)

<em>f</em> is concave up whenever <em>f''</em> is positive and concave down whenever <em>f''</em> is negative.

In other words, <em>f</em> is concave up whenever <em>f'</em> is increasing and concave down whenever <em>f'</em> is decreasing.

Hence, <em>f</em> is concave up for the interval (rounded to the nearest tenths):

\displaystyle (-1.5 , 0) \cup (2.2, \infty)

And concave down for the interval:

\displaystyle (-\infty, -1.5) \cup (0, 2.2)

Part D)

Points of inflections are where the concavity changes: that is, <em>f''</em> changes from either positive to negative or negative to positive.

In other words, <em>f </em>has an inflection point wherever <em>f'</em> has an extremum point.

<em>f'</em> has extrema at (approximately) <em>x</em> = -1.5, 0, and 2.2.

Hence, <em>f</em> has inflection points at <em>x</em> = -1.5, 0, and 2.2.

Imagine an experiment having three conditions and 20 subjects within each condition. The mean and variances of each condition ar
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

1. Mean square B= 5.32

2. Mean square E= 16.067

3. F= 0.33

4. p-value: 0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have the information of 3 groups of people.

Group 1

n₁= 20

X[bar]₁= 3.2

S₁²= 14.3

Group 2

n₂= 20

X[bar]₂= 4.2

S₂²= 17.2

Group 3

n₃= 20

X[bar]₃= 7.6

S₃²= 16.7

1. To manually calculate the mean square between the groups you have to calculate the sum of square between conditions and divide it by the degrees of freedom.

Df B= k-1 = 3-1= 2

Sum Square B is:

∑ni(Ÿi - Ÿ..)²

Ÿi= sample mean of sample i ∀ i= 1,2,3

Ÿ..= general mean is the mean that results of all the groups together.

General mean:

Ÿ..= (Ÿ₁ + Ÿ₂ + Ÿ₃)/ 3 = (3.2+4.2+7.6)/3 = 5

Sum Square B (Ÿ₁ - Ÿ..)² + (Ÿ₂ - Ÿ..)² + (Ÿ₃ - Ÿ..)²= (3.2 - 5)² + (4.2 - 5)² + (7.6 - 5)²= 10.64

Mean square B= Sum Square B/Df B= 10.64/2= 5.32

2. The mean square error (MSE) is the estimation of the variance error (σ_{e}^2 → S_{e} ^{2}), you have to use the following formula:

Se²=<u> (n₁-1)S₁² + -(n₂-1)S₂² + (n₃-1)S₃²</u>

                        n₁+n₂+n₃-k

Se²=<u> 19*14.3 + 19*17.2 + 19*16.7 </u>= <u>  915.8   </u>  = 16.067

                 20+20+20-3                  57

DfE= N-k = 60-3= 57

3. To calculate the value of the statistic you have to divide the MSB by MSE

F= \frac{Mean square B}{Mean square E} = \frac{5.32}{16.067} = 0.33

4. P(F_{2; 57} ≤ F) = P(F_{2; 57} ≤ 0.33) = 0.28

I hope you have a SUPER day!
