Answer:

We need a sample size of least 119

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

Sample size needed

At least n, in which n is found when M = 0.09

We don't know the proportion, so we use \pi = 0.5, which is when we would need the largest sample size.

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.09 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.09\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.09}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.09})^{2}

n = 118.6

Rounding up

We need a sample size of least 119

Given the polynomial 2x3 + 18x2 − 18x − 162, what is the value of the coefficient 'k' in the factored form?2x3 + 18x2 − 18x − 16
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

k=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

f(x)=2x^3+18x^2-18x-162

We factor 2 to obtain;

f(x)=2(x^3+9x^2-9x-81)

We factor the polynomial within the parenthesis by grouping.

f(x)=2(x^2(x+9)-9(x+9)

f(x)=2(x^2-9)(x+9)

f(x)=2(x^2-3^2)(x+9)

We apply difference of two squares on the second factor: x^2-3^2=(x-3)(x+3)

f(x)=2(x+3)(x-3)(x+9)

We now compare to;

f(x)=2(x+k)(x-k)(x+9)

It is now obvious that k=3
