Answer: $H_0:\mu=120$

$H_A:\mu\neq120$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $\mu$ denotes the average braking distance for a population of small car.

Given : It is advertised that the average braking distance for a small car traveling at 65 miles per hour equals 120 feet.

i.e. $\mu=120$

Objective of test : Whether the statement made in the advertisement is false

i.e. $\mu\neq120$

Since '=' signs is contained by Null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis is against it.

So the null and the alternative hypotheses for the test will be:

$H_0:\mu=120$

$H_A:\mu\neq120$

Factor. Explain.<br> 24x³y²-4x²y+84x^4

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

$\boxed{\bold{4x^2\left(6xy^2-y+21x^2\right)}}$

Step By Step Explanation:

Apply Exponent Rule $\bold{\:a^{b+c}=a^ba^c}$

$\bold{x^4=x^2x^2,\:x^3y^2=x^2x}$

$\bold{24x^2x-4x^2y+84x^2x^2}$

Rewrite 84: $\bold{21\cdot \:4}$

Rewrite 24: $\bold{6\cdot \:4}$

$\bold{6\cdot \:4x^2x-4x^2y+21\cdot \:4x^2x^2}$

Factor Out Common Term $\bold{4x^2}$

$\bold{4x^2\left(6xy^2-y+21x^2\right)}$

➤ $\boxed{\bold{Mordancy}}$
