Since derivatives lower the degree of polynomials, if you want the second derivative to be zero you have to choose first-degree polynomials.

So, you have

y''(x)=0 \iff y = c_1x+c_0

Two polynomials are linearly independent if they are not multiples of each other. So, for example, you might choose y(x)=1 and y(x)=x to find two linearly independent solutions.

As for

y''(x)=1

we want a second-degree polynomial with leading coefficient 1/2 so that we will get 1 when deriving it twice:

y''(x)=1 \iff y(x)=\dfrac{x^2}{2}+c_1x+c_0

If we impose the conditions

y(0)=0,\quad y'(0)=0

we have

y(0)=\dfrac{0^2}{2}+c_1\cdot 0+c_0 = c_0 = 0

So, our solution will be in this form:

y''(x)=1,\quad y(0)=0 \iff y(x)=\dfrac{x^2}{2}+c_1x

To fix c_1, we use the second condition:

y'(x) = x+c_1 \implies y'(0) = c_1 = 0

So, we have fixed c_0=c_1=0 and the solutions is

\begin{cases}y''(x)=1\\y'(0)=0\\y(0)=0\end{cases} \iff y(x) = \dfrac{x^2}{2}

The mean age when smokers first start is 13 years old with a population standard deviation of 2 years. A researcher thinks that
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Null hypothesis:\mu = 13  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 13

z=\frac{12.2-13}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{30}}}=-2.191  

a. Reject the null hypothesis

c. There is enough evidence to support the claim

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=12/2 represent the sample mean  

s=20000 represent the standard deviation for the sample  

\sigma =2 represent the population standard deviation

n=30 sample size  

\mu_o =13 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses to be tested  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the smoking age has significantly changed since the invention of ENDS—electronic nicotine delivery systems, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 13  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 13

Compute the test statistic

We know the population deviation, so for this case is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

z=\frac{12.2-13}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{30}}}=-2.191  

What do you conclude? Using the p-value approach  

Since is a two tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(Z  

Since the p_v then the correct decision is:

a. Reject the null hypothesis

And the best conclusion is :

c. There is enough evidence to support the claim

Write the function in vertex form. y=-x^2-8x-9
xeze [42]

Answer:

y = -(x+4)² +7

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it convenient to factor the leading minus sign from the first two terms, then work with what's left.

... y = -(x² +8x) -9

Now, add the square of half the x-coefficient inside parentheses. Add the opposite of that amount outside parentheses.

... y = -(x² +8x +4²) -9 +4²

... y = -(x +4)² +7 . . . . . . . . . rewrite parentheses as a square; collect terms

What is the value of sin(A) ?
iVinArrow [24]

Triangles ABC and XYZ are similar, so the corresponding angle to A in XYZ triangle is angle X. We can actually find sin(X) very easily.

Because we know all sides and the right angle, we can use certain formula to find sin(X), like this:

sin(X) = opposite side / hypotenuse = 6/10 = 3/5

sin(X) = sin(A)

The correct answer is sin(A) = 3/5.

Why can't a triangle have more than one obtuse angle?
Trava [24]
<span>A triangle with one angle greater than 90 degrees is an obtuse triangle. There are other names for triangles that are based, at least in part, on their angles. For instance, a right triangle has one right angle, which is 90 degrees. The degrees of the other two angles add up to 90, for a total of 180 degrees.</span>
