Answer:

In general, y = ax³ + bx² + cx + d

Where a,b,c & d are real,

Y can have at max 3 real roots, or one real and a conjugate pair of complex roots.

Also, -d/a is the product of roots

The table represents a linear function. What is the slope of the function?

TEA [102]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is linear; therefore, the slope of the line joining any two points is the same.

We take any two points from the table and compute the slope or rise/ run between them— let is take points (-4, -2) and (-2, -10).

The slope $m$ of the line joining the points is

$m=\dfrac{\Delta y }{\Delta x } =\dfrac{-2-(-10)}{-4-(-2)} \\\\\boxed{m=-4}$

The slope of the function is -4.

If cos x=1/2 and 90°

Talja [164]

When I factor[ 2cos (square) - 5cos -3], I get (2cos + 1)(cos - 3). 2cos + 1 = 0, 2cos = -1, cos = -0.5,. Using inv cos on calculator, I get 120 degree related angle.

Life Expectancies In a study of the life expectancy of people in a certain geographic region, the mean age at death was years an

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The probability that the mean life expectancy of the sample is less than X years is the p-value of $Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ , in which $\mu$ is the mean life expectancy, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

We have:

Mean $\mu$ , standard deviation $\sigma$ .

Sample of size n:

This means that the z-score is now, by the Central Limit Theorem:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

Find the probability that the mean life expectancy will be less than years.
