Accident rate data y1, ...., y12 were collected over 12 consecutive years t=1,2,...12. At over 12 consecutive years t = 1,2,...,

12. At the end of the 6th year, a change in safety regulations occured. FOr each of the following situations, set up a linear model of the form y=XB+E. Define X and B appropriately.
a. The accident rate y is a linear function of t with the new safety regulations having no effect.

b. The accident rate y is a quadratic function of t with the new regulations having no effect.

c. The accident rate y is a linear function of t. The slope for t>= 7 is the same as for t<7. However there is a discrete jump for t=7.

d. The accident rate y is a linear function of t. After t=7, the slope changes, with the two lines intersecting at t=7.

Answer:

The correct option is;

The accident rate is a linear model function of t. After t = 7, the slope changes, with the two lines intersecting at t = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

Accident rate data = y₁, y₂, y₃, y₄, y₅, y₆, y₇, y₈, y₉, y₁₀, y₁₁, y₁₂

Time at which data was recorded = t₁, t₂, t₃, t₄, t₅, t₆, t₇, t₈, t₉, t₁₀, t₁₁, t₁₂

Accident rate equation is a linear model given as follows;

y = X·B + E

Where:

y = Accident rate

X = Slope of linear model

B = Year

E = y intercept of model

At the end of the 6th year, a change in a regulation that affects safety, hence accident rate occurred given as follows;

Before the change in safety regulations occurred for year t < 7 y₁ = X₁B + E₁

After the change in safety regulations occurred for year t < 7 y₂ = X₂B + E₂

Therefore the slope changes from X₁ to X₂ after t = 7 with the second linear model starting from the end of the first linear model making the two lines intersect at t = 7 (the beginning of year 7)

Hence the correct option is that "The accident rate is a linear model function of t. After t = 7, the slope changes, with the two lines intersecting at t = 7."

What are all of the real roots of the following polynomial? f(x) x^4-24x^2-25
Greeley [361]

<u>Answer:</u>

x = ±5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following polynomial function and we are to find all of its real roots:

x^4-24x^2-25

Let y=x^2 so we can now write it as:

y^2-24y-25

Factorizing it to get:

(y^2+y)+(-25y-25)

y\left(y+1\right)-25\left(y+1\right)

\left ( y + 1 \right ) \left ( y - 2 5 \right)

Substitute back y=x^2 to get:

\left ( x^2 + 1 \right ) \left ( x^2 - 25 \right )

\left ( x^2 + 1 \right ) \left ( x + 5 \right ) \left ( x - 5 \right )

The quadratic factor has only complex roots. Therefore, the real roots are x = ±5.
