If 2x3 – 4x2 + kx + 10 is divided by (x + 2), the remainder is 4. Find the value of k using remainder theorem. Please help :)

The polynomial remainder theorem states that the remainder of the division of a polynomial $P(x)$ by $x-a$ is equal to $P(a)$ .

Therefore

$P(-2)=4\\2\cdot(-2)^3 - 4\cdot(-2)^2 + k\cdot(-2) + 10=4\\-16-16-2k=-6\\-2k=26\\k=-13$

Answer:

90% confidence interval is ( -149.114, -62.666 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Sample 1 Sample 2

x"₁ = 259.23 x"₂ = 365.12

s₁ = 34.713 s₂ = 48.297

n₁ = 5 n₂ = 10

With 90% confidence interval for μ₁ - μ₂ { using equal variance assumption }

significance level ∝ = 1 - 90% = 1 - 0.90 = 0.1

Since we are to assume that variance are equal and they are know, we will use pooled variance;

Degree of freedom DF = n₁ + n₂ - 2 = 5 + 10 - 2 = 13

Now, pooled estimate of variance will be;

$S_p^2$ = [ ( n₁ - 1 )s₁² + ( n₂ - 1)s₂² ] / [ ( n₁ - 1 ) + ( n₂ - 1 ) ]

we substitute

$S_p^2$ = [ ( 5 - 1 )(34.713)² + ( 10 - 1)(48.297)² ] / [ ( 5 - 1 ) + ( 10 - 1 ) ]

$S_p^2$ = [ ( 4 × 1204.9923) + ( 9 × 2332.6 ) ] / [ 4 + 9 ]

$S_p^2$ = [ 4819.9692 + 20993.4 ] / [ 13 ]

$S_p^2$ = 25813.3692 / 13

$S_p^2$ = 1985.64378

Now the Standard Error will be;

$S_{x1-x2$ = √[ ( $S_p^2$ / n₁ ) + ( $S_p^2$ / n₂ ) ]

we substitute

$S_{x1-x2$ = √[ ( 1985.64378 / 5 ) + ( 1985.64378 / 10 ) ]

$S_{x1-x2$ = √[ 397.128756 + 198.564378 ]

$S_{x1-x2$ = √595.693134

$S_{x1-x2$ = 24.4068

Critical Value = $t_{\frac{\alpha }{2}, df$ = $t_{0.05, df=13$ = 1.771 { t-table }

So,

Margin of Error E = $t_{\frac{\alpha }{2}, df$ × [ ( $S_p^2$ / n₁ ) + ( $S_p^2$ / n₂ ) ]

we substitute

Margin of Error E = 1.771 × 24.4068

Margin of Error E = 43.224

Point Estimate = x₁ - x₂ = 259.23 - 365.12 = -105.89

So, Limits of 90% CI will be; x₁ - x₂ ± E

Lower Limit = x₁ - x₂ - E = -105.89 - 43.224 = -149.114

Upper Limit = x₁ - x₂ - E = -105.89 + 43.224 = -62.666

Therefore, 90% confidence interval is ( -149.114, -62.666 )

Kevin says that “a line segment is the part of a line containing two endpoints.” What additional information is needed to make t

kakasveta [241]

The statement "That does not extend in both directions." will make the definition, precise.

Kevin's line segment definition is correct.

However, the end points in a line segment implies that the line segment does not extend past its two end points.

So, to make it precise;

Kevin needs to include that the line segment does not extend in both directions, in the definition.

Hence, option (c) is correct.
