Where does the function f have a zero? (more than one can apply)

Answers: 
Choice A(-2,-1)
Choice B(-1,0)
Choice E(2,3)

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

Explanation:

The idea is to look for sign changes in f(x). Recall that y = f(x). If the sign of y changes, then y = 0 must be somewhere in the interval if we are to have a continuous function.

The sign changes happen when we go from...
y = -9 to y = +8 (row 2 to row 3)
y = +8 to y = -5 (row 3 to row 4)
y = -1 to y = +196 (bottom two rows)

Those three sign changes correspond to the following interval notations for x
(-2,-1)
(0,1)
(2,3)
in that exact order

Meaning for instance, that a root must be somewhere in the interval -2 < x < -1 since we have a sign change when we transition from f(-2) to f(-1)

So that's why the answers are choices A, B, & E

Something like the interval notation (1,2) will not work because y = -18 does not change sign to y = -1, which is why D is not an answer. Choice C is similar.

A population is estimated to have a standard deviation of 9. We want to estimate the population mean within 2, with a 99% level
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The sample required is  n = 135

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  standard deviation is  \sigma = 9

      The margin of error is E =  2

     

Given that the confidence level is  99%  then the level of  significance is mathematically evaluated as

         \alpha =  100-99

        \alpha =  1 \%

        \alpha =  0.01

Next we will obtain the critical value  \frac{\alpha }{2} from the normal distribution table(reference  math dot armstrong dot edu) , the value is  

             Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  Z_{\frac{0.05 }{2} } =  2.58

The  sample size is mathematically represented as

          n = [ \frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \sigma }{E} ]^2

substituting values

           n = [ \frac{ 2.58 *  9 }{2} ]^2

            n = 135

Nth sequence term question
SSSSS [86.1K]
One example is when n is 11. 11^2 + 4 = 125. 11 is odd but the 11th term of the sequence, 125, is not prime because 125 is divisible by 5 and 25.
