Answer:

1. x = -2 or x = sqrt(6) - 2 or x = -2 - sqrt(6)

2. x = -2.10947 or x = -0.484343 or x = 1.67884 or x = 2.91497

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^3 + 6 x^2 + 6 x - 4 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(x + 2) (x^2 + 4 x - 2) = 0

Split into two equations:

x + 2 = 0 or x^2 + 4 x - 2 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides:

x = -2 or x^2 + 4 x - 2 = 0

Add 2 to both sides:

x = -2 or x^2 + 4 x = 2

Add 4 to both sides:

x = -2 or x^2 + 4 x + 4 = 6

Write the left hand side as a square:

x = -2 or (x + 2)^2 = 6

Take the square root of both sides:

x = -2 or x + 2 = sqrt(6) or x + 2 = -sqrt(6)

Subtract 2 from both sides:

x = -2 or x = sqrt(6) - 2 or x + 2 = -sqrt(6)

Subtract 2 from both sides:

Answer: x = -2 or x = sqrt(6) - 2 or x = -2 - sqrt(6)

_________________________________________

Solve for x:

x^4 - 2 x^3 - 6 x^2 + 8 x + 5 = 0

Eliminate the cubic term by substituting y = x - 1/2:

5 + 8 (y + 1/2) - 6 (y + 1/2)^2 - 2 (y + 1/2)^3 + (y + 1/2)^4 = 0

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

y^4 - (15 y^2)/2 + y + 117/16 = 0

Subtract -3/2 sqrt(13) y^2 - (15 y^2)/2 + y from both sides:

y^4 + (3 sqrt(13) y^2)/2 + 117/16 = (3 sqrt(13) y^2)/2 + (15 y^2)/2 - y

y^4 + (3 sqrt(13) y^2)/2 + 117/16 = (y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4)^2:

(y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4)^2 = (3 sqrt(13) y^2)/2 + (15 y^2)/2 - y

Add 2 (y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4) λ + λ^2 to both sides:

(y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4)^2 + 2 λ (y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4) + λ^2 = -y + (3 sqrt(13) y^2)/2 + (15 y^2)/2 + 2 λ (y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4) + λ^2

(y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4)^2 + 2 λ (y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4) + λ^2 = (y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4 + λ)^2:

(y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4 + λ)^2 = -y + (3 sqrt(13) y^2)/2 + (15 y^2)/2 + 2 λ (y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4) + λ^2

-y + (3 sqrt(13) y^2)/2 + (15 y^2)/2 + 2 λ (y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4) + λ^2 = (2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2) y^2 - y + (3 sqrt(13) λ)/2 + λ^2:

(y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4 + λ)^2 = y^2 (2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2) - y + (3 sqrt(13) λ)/2 + λ^2

Complete the square on the right hand side:

(y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4 + λ)^2 = (y sqrt(2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2) - 1/(2 sqrt(2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2)))^2 + (4 (2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2) (λ^2 + (3 sqrt(13) λ)/2) - 1)/(4 (2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2))

To express the right hand side as a square, find a value of λ such that the last term is 0.

This means 4 (2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2) (λ^2 + (3 sqrt(13) λ)/2) - 1 = 8 λ^3 + 18 sqrt(13) λ^2 + 30 λ^2 + 45 sqrt(13) λ + 117 λ - 1 = 0.

Thus the root λ = 1/4 (-3 sqrt(13) - 5) + (2 2^(2/3) (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(i sqrt(183) - 29)^(1/3) + ((-i sqrt(3) + 1) (i sqrt(183) - 29)^(1/3))/(2 2^(2/3)) allows the right hand side to be expressed as a square.

(This value will be substituted later):

(y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4 + λ)^2 = (y sqrt(2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2) - 1/(2 sqrt(2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2)))^2

Take the square root of both sides:

y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4 + λ = y sqrt(2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2) - 1/(2 sqrt(2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2)) or y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4 + λ = -y sqrt(2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2) + 1/(2 sqrt(2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2))

Solve using the quadratic formula:

y = 1/4 (sqrt(2) sqrt(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)) + sqrt(2) sqrt((108 - 24 sqrt(13) λ - 16 λ^2 - 4 sqrt(2) sqrt(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)))/(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)))) or y = 1/4 (sqrt(2) sqrt(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)) - sqrt(2) sqrt((108 - 24 sqrt(13) λ - 16 λ^2 - 4 sqrt(2) sqrt(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)))/(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)))) or y = 1/4 (sqrt(2) sqrt((108 - 24 sqrt(13) λ - 16 λ^2 + 4 sqrt(2) sqrt(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)))/(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13))) - sqrt(2) sqrt(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13))) or y = 1/4 (-sqrt(2) sqrt(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)) - sqrt(2) sqrt((108 - 24 sqrt(13) λ - 16 λ^2 + 4 sqrt(2) sqrt(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)))/(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)))) where λ = 1/4 (-3 sqrt(13) - 5) + (2 2^(2/3) (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(i sqrt(183) - 29)^(1/3) + ((-i sqrt(3) + 1) (i sqrt(183) - 29)^(1/3))/(2 2^(2/3))

Substitute λ = 1/4 (-3 sqrt(13) - 5) + (2 2^(2/3) (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(i sqrt(183) - 29)^(1/3) + ((-i sqrt(3) + 1) (i sqrt(183) - 29)^(1/3))/(2 2^(2/3)) and approximate:

y = -2.60947 or y = -0.984343 or y = 1.17884 or y = 2.41497

Substitute back for y = x - 1/2:

x - 1/2 = -2.60947 or y = -0.984343 or y = 1.17884 or y = 2.41497

Add 1/2 to both sides:

x = -2.10947 or y = -0.984343 or y = 1.17884 or y = 2.41497

Substitute back for y = x - 1/2:

x = -2.10947 or x - 1/2 = -0.984343 or y = 1.17884 or y = 2.41497

Add 1/2 to both sides:

x = -2.10947 or x = -0.484343 or y = 1.17884 or y = 2.41497

Substitute back for y = x - 1/2:

x = -2.10947 or x = -0.484343 or x - 1/2 = 1.17884 or y = 2.41497

Add 1/2 to both sides:

x = -2.10947 or x = -0.484343 or x = 1.67884 or y = 2.41497

Substitute back for y = x - 1/2:

x = -2.10947 or x = -0.484343 or x = 1.67884 or x - 1/2 = 2.41497

Add 1/2 to both sides:

Answer: x = -2.10947 or x = -0.484343 or x = 1.67884 or x = 2.91497

A true/false test has 8080 questions. Suppose a passing grade is 5252 or more correct answers. Test the claim that a student kn

Makovka662 [10]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Let p be the proportion of the correct answers.

As per given , we have

$H_0: p=0.50$

$H_a: p>0.50$ , since the alternative hypothesis is right tailed , so the test is a one -tailed test.

If the student gets 52 answers correct out of 80.

i.e. the proportion of correct answers : $\dfrac{52}{80}=0.65$

Test statistic : $z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}$

$z=\dfrac{0.65-0.50}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.50(0.50)}{80}}}\approx2.68$

P-value : $P(z>2.68)=0.0037$ [ by using p-value table for z (right-tailed)]

Since the p-value(0.0037) is less than the significance level (0.05), so we reject the null hypothesis.

Results : We have enough evidence to support the claim that a student knows more than half of the answers and is not just guessing.

F(x)=12x2-4x-8. G(x)=11x-6

AlekseyPX

Answer: Second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the functions f(x) and g(x):

$f(x)=12x^2-4x-8\\\\g(x)=11x-6$

You need to divide them in order to find $(\frac{f}{g})(x)$ asked in the exercise. Then:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x) =\frac{12x^2-4x-8}{11x-6}$

Now, it is important to remember that, by definition, the division by zero is not defined. Therefore, the denominator of the function cannot be zero.

Let's find the value of "x" for which the denominator of the function would be zero:

1. You need to make the denominator equal to zero:

$11x-6=0$

2. Finally, you must solve for "x":

$11x=6\\\\x=\frac{6}{11}$

Therefore, as you can see, the answer is:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x) =\frac{12x^2-4x-8}{11x-6}$ , $x=\frac{6}{11}$
