This is known as quadratic algebra.

To find it, you can use the quadratic formula but that might take a while.

We can factor it out and get

-3(mx² + mx - 1)

We can then set mx² + mx = 1

It would have no solutions

Edit: Above is wrong! I made the mistake of factoring 3 when it cant be factored.

Here is the solution

mx²-3mx=-3

Divide both by -3

mx²+mx=1

And I really messed this up. Its been a long time since quad. Sorry, but I cant seem to get the answer. Try and look up the quadratic formula and see if you can use that

Answer:

Number of people employed this year = 373

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of employees this year = x

These employees were decreased by 4% then the remaining number of employees this year = x - (4% of x)

= x - 0.04x

= 0.96x

If last year number of people employed were 389 then the number of people employed this year = 0.96×389

= 373.44

When rounded to whole number, number of people employed this year = 373.

Answer:

P-value for this hypothesis test is 0.00175.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the alumni association conducted a survey to see if alumni were in favor of firing the coach.

A simple random sample of 100 alumni from the population of all living alumni was taken. Sixty-four of the alumni in the sample were in favor of firing the coach.

Let p = proportion of all living alumni who favored firing the coach

SO, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : p = 0.50 {means that the majority of alumni are not in favor of firing the coach}
