Answer:

Yes, it is true that x^2+3x-1  is a factor of x^4+3x^3-2x^2-3x+1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us try to factorize x^4+3x^3-2x^2-3x+1

x^4+3x^3-2x^2-3x+1\\\Rightarrow x^4-2x^2+1-3x+3x^3

Let us try to make a whole square of the given terms:

\Rightarrow (x^2)^2-2\times x^2 \times 1+1^2+3x^3-3x\\\Rightarrow (x^2-1)^2+3x^3-3x\\

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

Formula used above:

a^{2} -2 \times a \times b +b^{2}  = (a-b)^2

In the above equation, we had a = x, b = 1.

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

Further solving the above equation, taking 3x common out of 3x^3-3x

\Rightarrow (x^2-1)^2+3x(x^2-1)\\

Taking (x^{2} -1) common out of the above term:

\Rightarrow (x^2-1)((x^2-1)+3x)\\\Rightarrow (x^2-1)(x^2+3x-1)

So, the two factors are (x^2-1)\ and\ (x^2+3x-1).

\therefore The statement that x^2+3x-1  is a factor of x^4+3x^3-2x^2-3x+1 is <em>True.</em>

Elodia [21]

Answer:

The standard error of the mean = 5.14 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of random sample (n) = 20

Mean(X) = 31.25 mins

Standard deviation (α) = 23.7 mins

Standard error of mean =

standard deviation / √sample size

= 23.7/√20

= 23.7/4.4721

= 5.14 mins

Adding negative numbers<br> 5+ (-4) =
anygoal [31]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Follow the signs rule:

IF:

There is a + sign, and the number directly next is +, add

There is a + sign, and the number directly next is -, subtract

There is a - sign, and the number directly next is +, subtract

There is a - sign, and the number directly next is -, add

In this case, there is a plus sign, and a negative sign, therefore, subtract:

5 + (-4) = 5 - 4 = 1

1 is your answer.
