Hello there,

Simply plug in -2 for every b you see.
(-2)²+9(-2)+3
4-18+3
-14+3
-11

Hope this helps!

Simply substitute b = -2 into the expression of b^2 + 9b + 3:

All the b in the expression will become -2.

(-2)^2 + 9(-2) + 3
{The power of 2 means the number is multiplied twice}
= (-2)(-2) + (-18) + 3
{Negative number times negative number will give you positive number}
= (4) - 18 + 3
= 4 - 18 + 3
= 4 + 3 - 18
= 7 - 18
= -11

Hope this helps! :)

The sum of the squares of two consecutive negative integers is 61. Find the smaller of the two integers

Marysya12 [62]

$x^2+(x+1)^2=61\\ x^2+x^2+2x+1-61=0\\ 2x^2+2x-60=0\ \ /:2\\ x^2+x-30=0\\ \Delta=1^2-4\cdot(-40)=1+120=121\ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \sqrt{\Delta} =11\\ \\ x_1= \frac{-1-11}{2} = \frac{-12}{2} =-6,\ \ \ \ x_2= \frac{-1+11}{2} = \frac{10}{2}=5\\ \\Ans.:x=-6$

The sugar content of the syrup in canned peaches is normally distributed. A random sample of n = 10 cans yields a sample standar

Serggg [28]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval is given by:

3.30<σ<8.76

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

s=4.798 represent the sample standard deviation

$\bar x$ represent the sample mean

n=10 the sample size

Confidence=95% or 0.95

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population mean or variance lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

The Chi Square distribution is the distribution of the sum of squared standard normal deviates .

2) Calculating the confidence interval

The confidence interval for the population variance is given by the following formula:

$\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{\alpha/2}} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2}}$

The next step would be calculate the critical values. First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

$df=n-1=10-1=9$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical values.
