<h3>How to analyze rational functions</h3>

In this problem we have a rational function, whose features can be inferred by algebraic handling:

Holes - x-values that do not belong to the domain of the rational function:

x³ + 8 · x² - 9 · x = 0

x · (x² + 8 · x - 9) = 0

x · (x + 9) · (x - 1) = 0

x = 0 ∨ x = - 9 ∨ x = 1

But one root is an evitable discontinuity as:

y = (9 · x² + 81 · x)/(x³ + 8 · x² - 9 · x)

y = (9 · x + 81)/(x² + 8 · x - 9)

Thus, there are only two holes. (x = - 9 ∨ x = 1) Besides, there is no hole where the y-intercept should be.

Vertical asymptotes - There is a vertical asymptote where a hole exists. Hence, the function has two vertical asymptotes.

Horizontal asymptotes - Horizontal asymptote exists and represents the end behavior of the function if and only if the grade of the numerator is not greater than the grade of the denominator. If possible, this assymptote is found by this limit:

$y = \lim_{x \to \pm \infty} \frac {9\cdot x + 81}{x^{2}+8\cdot x - 9}$

y = 0

The function has a horizontal asymptote.

x-Intercept - There is an x-intercept for all x-value such that numerator is equal to zero:

9 · x + 81 = 0

x = - 9

There is a x-intercept.

Lastly, we have the following conclusions:

How many holes? 2
One horizontal asymptote along the line where y always equals what number: 0
This function has x-intercepts? True
One vertical asymptote along the line where x always equals what number: 1
There is a hole where the y-intercept should be? False

Answer:

Right angle triangle goes to 15m, 8m, 17m

Step-by-step explanation:

Square root of 15^2 + 8^2 is 17

(The use of a^2 + b^2 = c^2 - Pythagoras's Theorem)

So, 10m ,11m ,15m isn't a right angle triangle

Hope this helps!

At Western University the historical mean of scholarship examination scores for freshman applications is 900. A historical popul

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

a) Null Hypothesis: $\mu =900$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 900$

b) The 95% confidence interval would be given by (910.05;959.95)

c) Since we confidence interval not ocntains the value of 900 we fail to reject the null hypothesis that the true mean is 900.

d) $z=\frac{935 -900}{\frac{180}{\sqrt{200}}}=2.750$

Since is a bilateral test the p value is given by:

$p_v =2*P(Z>2.750)=0.0059$

Step-by-step explanation:

a. State the hypotheses.

On this case we want to check the following system of hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis: $\mu =900$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 900$

b. What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean examination score if a sample of 200 applications provided a sample mean x¯¯¯= 935?

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=935$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=180$ represent the population standard deviation

n=200 represent the sample size

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:

$\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$ (2)

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}$ (3)

The mean calculated for this case is $\bar X=3278.222$

The sample deviation calculated $s=97.054$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$
