It's a linear function. We need only two points to draw a graph.
We choose any values of x and calculate the value of y.
for x= 0 → y = 3(0) - 1 = 0 - 1 = -1 → (0, -1)
for x = 2 → y = 3(2) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5 → (2, 5)
for x = 0 → y = 3(0) - 1/3 = 0 - 1/3 = -1/3 → (0, -1/3)
for x = 2 → y = 3(2) - 1/3 = 6 - 1/3 = 5 2/3 → (2, 5 2/3)
1. sqrt(98) = 7 sqrt(2)
2. sqrt(y^6) = y^3
3. sqrt(a^7) = a^7/2
4. sqrt(12x^3y^2) = 2xy sqrt(3x)
5. sqrt(36x^2y^4) = 6xy^2
6. sqrt(48ab^3) = 4b sqrt(3ab)
7. sqrt(10a^5b^2) = a^2b sqrt(10a)
8. sqrt(20x^3y^10 = 2xy^5 sqrt(5x)
The correct answer is C.
You can tell this by factoring the equation to get the zeros. To start, pull out the greatest common factor.
f(x) = x^4 + x^3 - 2x^2
Since each term has at least x^2, we can factor it out.
f(x) = x^2(x^2 + x - 2)
Now we can factor the inside by looking for factors of the constant, which is 2, that add up to the coefficient of x. 2 and -1 both add up to 1 and multiply to -2. So, we place these two numbers in parenthesis with an x.
f(x) = x^2(x + 2)(x - 1)
Now we can also separate the x^2 into 2 x's.
f(x) = (x)(x)(x + 2)(x - 1)
To find the zeros, we need to set them all equal to 0
x = 0
x = 0
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
x - 1 = 0
x = 1
Since there are two 0's, we know the graph just touches there. Since there are 1 of the other two numbers, we know that it crosses there.
Answer:
The less the correlation between two variables means the more different their output is.
A.) If Rachel wants to diversify her investment by investing on bonds that do not closely follow the returns on the bond. then she should invest in the stocks with low correlation with bonds. I.e: small cap stocks.
B.) Similarly, due to low correlation, small cap bonds will increase ( comparatively to large cap bonds) as the return on her bonds wil drop and vice versa.
