4 0

Answer:

1. (x - 16)/(x - 8)  

2.  (x + 12)/(x (x - 7))

3. (2 y (y^2 - 6))/(y^2 + 5)

4. (2 x (2 x^2 + 3))/(x^2 - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(x^2 - 14 x - 32)/(x^2 - 6 x - 16)

The factors of -16 that sum to -6 are 2 and -8. So, x^2 - 6 x - 16 = (x + 2) (x - 8):

(x^2 - 14 x - 32)/((x + 2) (x - 8))

The factors of -32 that sum to -14 are 2 and -16. So, x^2 - 14 x - 32 = (x + 2) (x - 16):

((x + 2) (x - 16))/((x + 2) (x - 8))

((x + 2) (x - 16))/((x + 2) (x - 8)) = (x + 2)/(x + 2)×(x - 16)/(x - 8) = (x - 16)/(x - 8):

Answer:  (x - 16)/(x - 8)

_________________________________________________________

Simplify the following:

(x^2 + 7 x - 60)/(x^3 - 12 x^2 + 35 x)

The factors of -60 that sum to 7 are 12 and -5. So, x^2 + 7 x - 60 = (x + 12) (x - 5):

((x + 12) (x - 5))/(x^3 - 12 x^2 + 35 x)

Factor x out of x^3 - 12 x^2 + 35 x:

((x + 12) (x - 5))/(x (x^2 - 12 x + 35))

The factors of 35 that sum to -12 are -5 and -7. So, x^2 - 12 x + 35 = (x - 5) (x - 7):

((x + 12) (x - 5))/(x (x - 5) (x - 7))

((x + 12) (x - 5))/(x (x - 5) (x - 7)) = (x - 5)/(x - 5)×(x + 12)/(x (x - 7)) = (x + 12)/(x (x - 7)):

Answer:  (x + 12)/(x (x - 7))

Simplify the following:

(6 y^3 - 36 y)/(3 y^2 + 15)

Factor 3 out of 3 y^2 + 15:

(6 y^3 - 36 y)/(3 (y^2 + 5))

Factor 6 y out of 6 y^3 - 36 y:

(6 y (y^2 - 6))/(3 (y^2 + 5))

6/3 = (3×2)/3 = 2:

Answer:  (2 y (y^2 - 6))/(y^2 + 5)

________________________________________________________

Simplify the following:

(20 x^4 + 30 x^2)/(5 x^3 - 15 x)

Factor 5 x out of 5 x^3 - 15 x:

(20 x^4 + 30 x^2)/(5 x (x^2 - 3))

Factor 10 x^2 out of 20 x^4 + 30 x^2:

(10 x^2 (2 x^2 + 3))/(5 x (x^2 - 3))

10/5 = (5×2)/5 = 2:

(2 x^2 (2 x^2 + 3))/(x (x^2 - 3))

Combine powers. (2 x^2 (2 x^2 + 3))/(x (x^2 - 3)) = (2 x^(2 - 1) (2 x^2 + 3))/(x^2 - 3):

(2 x^(2 - 1) (2 x^2 + 3))/(x^2 - 3)

2 - 1 = 1:

Answer: (2 x (2 x^2 + 3))/(x^2 - 3)

The International Air Transport Association surveys business travelers to develop quality ratings for transatlantic gateway airp
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Confidence Interval in 95% confidence level for the quality rating is (6.06,7.46)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval can be calculated using the formula M±ME where

  • M is the mean of the sample
  • ME is the margin of error in a given confidence level

Using the sample obtained from 50 business travelers we get

  • Mean of the sample is 6.76
  • standard deviation of the sample is 2.526

Margin of error (ME) around the mean using the formula

ME=\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} } where

  • z is the corresponding statistic in 95% confidence level (1.96)
  • s is the standard deviation of the sample (2.526)
  • N is the sample size (50)

Using the numbers in the formula we get:

ME=\frac{1.96*2.526}{\sqrt{50} } ≈ 0.70

Then the confidence interval becomes 6.76±0.70
