8 0

Answer: -3z+8

Step-by-step explanation: add -4z and z because they are like terms and then leave the 8 alone because it’s a term.

Write the polynomial in factored form. <br><br> p(x)=(x+5)(x-___)(x+___)

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : $p(x)=x^{3} +6x^{2} -7x-60$

Solution :

Part A:

First find the potential roots of p(x) using rational root theorem;

So, $\text{Possible roots} =\pm\frac{\text{factors of constant term}}{\text{factors of leading coefficient}}$

Since constant term = -60

Leading coefficient = 1

$\text{Possible roots} =\pm\frac{\text{factors of 60}}{\text{factors of 1}}$

$\text{Possible roots} =\pm\frac{1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,60}{1}$

Thus the possible roots are $\pm1, \pm2, \pm 3, \pm4, \pm5,\pm6, \pm10, \pm12, \pm15, \pm20, \pm60$

Thus from the given options the correct answers are -10,-5,3,15

Now For Part B we will use synthetic division

Out of the possible roots we will use the root which gives remainder 0 in synthetic division :

Since we can see in the figure With -5 we are getting 0 remainder.

Refer the attached figure

We have completed the table and have obtained the following resulting coefficients: 1 , 1,−12,0. All the coefficients except the last one are the coefficients of the quotient, the last coefficient is the remainder.

Thus the quotient is $x^{2} +x-12$

And remainder is 0 .

So to get the other two factors of the given polynomial we will solve the quotient by middle term splitting

$x^{2} +x-12=0$

$x^{2} +4x-3x-12=0$

$x(x+4)-3(x+4)=0$

$(x-3)(x+4)=0$

Thus x-3 and x+4 are the other two factors

So , p(x)=(x+5)(x-3)(x+4)

How do I solve for X?

lidiya [134]

We use the theory of Pythagoras because the triangle is right.

$AB {}^{2} = AC {}^{2} + BC {}^{2}$
since AB = AC = x
$8 {}^{2} = x {}^{2} + x {}^{2}$
$64 = 2x {}^{2}$
$32 = x {}^{2}$
$x = \sqrt{32}$
$x = \sqrt{16 } \times \sqrt{2}$
$x = 4 \sqrt{2}$

Here are summary statistics for randomly selected weights of newborn girls: nequals=174174, x overbarxequals=30.930.9 hg, seq

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (29.780;32.020)

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=30.9$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=7.5 represent the sample standard deviation

n=174 represent the sample size

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=174-1=173$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,173)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=1.97$ , this value is similar to the obtained with the normal standard distribution since the sample size is large to approximate the t distribution with the normal distribution.
