Answer:

The correct answer is:

we cannot take an even root of a negative number in the real number system.

Explanation:

A rational exponent is another way of writing a root. The denominator of the rational exponent will be the root, and the numerator will be the power of the number under the root. If the denominator is even, this means we are taking an even root, such as square root, 4th root, etc.

If the base is negative, this means we want an even root of a negative number.

Any even root can be broken down into a series of square roots, done one after another.

However, we cannot take the square root of a negative number using real numbers; this is because a square root is a number multiplied by itself to get the answer; a negative times a negative is a positive, as is a positive times a positive, so there is no way to multiply the same number twice and get a negative.

A market research firm knows from historical data that telephone surveys have a 36% response rate. In a random sample of 280 tel
Rasek [7]

Answer:

0.6604

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a market  research firm knows from historical data that telephone surveys have a 36% response rate.

Sample size of random sample = 280

We know for samples randomly drawn of large size sample proportion follows a normal distribution with mean= sample proportin and std error

= \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }

Substitute p = 0.36 and q = 1-0.36= 0.64

p follows N with mean = 0.36 and std dev = \sqrt{\frac{0.36*0.64}{\sqrt{280} } } \\=0.0287

Using normal distribution values we can find\

P(33.5p.c. < p < 39pc)\\= P(0.335

Dovator [93]

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total = 45

Absentees = 9

Percentage  = (No. of absentees / total) × 100

                    = 9 / 45 × 100

                    = 0.2 × 100

                    = <u>20%</u>

Solve for v.<br><br> 14 − 10v + 11 = 20v + 5(–7v − 11)<br><br> v =
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

v = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>→Distribute the 5 to (-7v - 11):</u>

14 - 10v + 11 = 20v - 35v - 55

<u>→Add like terms:</u>

25 - 10v = -15v - 55

<u>→Add 15v to both sides:</u>

25 + 5v = -55

<u>→Subtract 25 from both sides:</u>

5v = -80

<u>→Divide both sides by 5:</u>

v = -16
