15. Divide the polynomial x^3 + x^2 - 2x + 3 by (x - 1).​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Stels [109]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x² + 2x + [3\x - 1]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the divisor is in the form of <em>x - c</em>, use what is called <em>Synthetic Division</em>. Remember, in this formula, -c gives you the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so do not forget it. Anyway, here is how it is done:

1| 1 1 -2 3

↓ 1 2 0

------------------

1 2 0 3 → x² + 2x + [3\x - 1]

You start by placing the <em>c</em> in the top left corner, then list all the coefficients of your dividend [x² + 5x - 36]. You bring down the original term closest to <em>c</em> then begin your multiplication. Now depending on what symbol your result is tells you whether the next step is to subtract or add, then you continue this process starting with multiplication all the way up until you reach the end. Now, when the last term is 0, that means you have no remainder, which in this case is a 3, so what you is set the divisor underneath the remainder of 3. Finally, your quotient is one degree less than your dividend, so that 1 in your quotient can be an x², 2 becomes <em>2x</em><em>,</em><em> </em>and the remainder of 3 is set over the divisor, giving you the other factor of <em>x² + 2x + [3\x - 1]</em>.

Suppose a continuous probability distribution has an average of μ=35 and a standard deviation of σ=16. Draw 100 times at random
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

To use a Normal distribution to approximate the chance the sum total will be between 3000 and 4000 (inclusive), we use the area from a lower bound of 3000 to an upper bound of 4000 under a Normal curve with its center (average) at 3500 and a spread (standard deviation) of 160 . The estimated probability is 99.82%.

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 normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes 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.

For sums, we have that the mean is \mu*n and the standard deviation is s = \sigma \sqrt{n}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 100*35 = 3500, \sigma = \sqrt{100}*16 = 160

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 4000 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3000.

X = 4000

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{4000 - 3500}{160}

Z = 3.13

Z = 3.13 has a pvalue of 0.9991

X = 3000

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{3000 - 3500}{160}

Z = -3.13

Z = -3.13 has a pvalue of 0.0009

0.9991 - 0.0009 = 0.9982

So the correct answer is:

To use a Normal distribution to approximate the chance the sum total will be between 3000 and 4000 (inclusive), we use the area from a lower bound of 3000 to an upper bound of 4000 under a Normal curve with its center (average) at 3500 and a spread (standard deviation) of 160 . The estimated probability is 99.82%.

In an insect colony there are 270 insects after 9 days. If there were initially 80 insects how long will it take the population
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The time it will take the population to grow to 800 insects is 17 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth function of the insects is exponential.

The exponential growth function is:

y=a(1+r)^{t}

Here,

<em>y</em> = final value

<em>a</em> = initial value

<em>r</em> = growth rate

<em>t</em> = time taken

It is provided that there were 270 insects after 9 days and initially there were 80 insects.

Compute the value of <em>r</em> as follows:

y=a(1+r)^{t}\\\\270=80(1+r)^{9}\\\\3.375=(1+r)^{9}\\\\\ln(3.375)=9\cdot \ln(1+r)\\\\0.135155=\ln(1+r)\\\\1+r=1.14471\\\\r=0.145

Now, compute the time it will take the population to grow to 800 insects as follows:

800=80(1+0.145)^{t}\\\\10=(1.145)^{t}\\\\\ln(10)=t\cdot \ln(1.145)\\\\t=17.00522\\\\t\approx 17

Thus, the time it will take the population to grow to 800 insects is 17 days.

Need help please answer this question
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the given values for x and y into the expression

5 × (\frac{60}{6(5)}) - 1

= 5 × (\frac{60}{30}) - 1

= (5 × 2)  - 1

= 10 - 1

= 9 → C
