Consider the polynomial function P(x) = 2x^3 - mx^2 + x - 5m. The remainder when P(x) is divided
1 answer:
Answer:
m = 57/14 =
Step-by-step explanation:
The polynomial can be expressed as follows;
P(x) = 2·x³ - m·x² + x - 5·m
(2·x³ - m·x² + x - 5·m) ÷ (x - 2)
2·x²
(-m - 2)·x² + x
(-m - 2)·x
(m + 3)·x - 5·m
(m + 3)·x
-5·m
The remainder = -5·m/(x -2)
Similarly, dividing by (x + 1) will give a remainder of -5·m/(x + 1)
But -5·m/(x -2) = 4×-5·m/(x + 1)
5/(x -2) = 20/(x + 1)
5(x + 1) = 20(x -2)
20x - 5x= 40 + 5
x = 45/15 = 3
2·3³ - m·3² + 3 - 5·m = 54 - 9m + 3 - 5m = 57 - 14m
(57 - 14m)/1 = (57 - 14m)/4
228 - 56m =57 - 14m
171 = 56m-14m = 42m
m = 171/42 = 57/14.

The margin of error is 0.137 and the confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.443, 0.717).
<h3>What is the margin of error(MOE)?</h3>It is defined as an error that provides an estimate of the percentage of errors in real statistical data.
The formula for finding the MOE:
Where Z is the z-score at the confidence interval
s is the standard deviation
n is the number of samples.
We have:
n = 50, X = 29,
Estimate point p = 29/50 = 0.58
q = 1-p = 1-0.58 = 0.42
Z at 0.05/2 (95% confidence interval) = 1.96
After calculating:
MOE = 0.137
Confidence interval will be: (p - MOE, p+MOE)
= (0.58-0.137, 0.58+0.137)
= (0.443, 0.717)
Thus, the margin of error is 0.137 and the confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.443, 0.717).
