Factor f(x) = x^4 + x^3 - 8x^2 + 6x +36 completely. Show your work. Then describe what a graph of this function might look like.

Include where the graph would cross the x-axis and the y-axis. How many roots are real numbers and how many roots are imaginary numbers?

             <span> Use the rational root theorem to find the possible rational roots. The rational roots theorem says that possible rational roots are +/- factors the constant term (36 here) divided by factors of the leading coefficient (1 here). Possible rational roots are

+/- 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 12, 18, 36

Test each zero using the rational root test. To do this, use synthetic division to test the roots. I won't show the work here, but the roots that work are -2 and -3. As factors, this is x+2 and x+3.

From the synthetic division, we have x^2-4x+6 left over, which is irreducible.

In factored form:
f(x) = (x+2)(x+3)(x^-4x+6)

You could also use a graphing calculator to find the roots and work backwards to get the factored form too. A TI-89 Titanium would factor the polynomial and give you the above answer.</span>

A random sample of 12 men age 60-65 has a mean blood pressure of 142. 3 mmHg and a standard deviation of 20.8 mmHg. Construct a
Over [174]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval = (126.93,157.67)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Confidence Interval =

Mean ± z × Standard deviation /√n

Mean = 142. 3 mmHg

Standard deviation = 20.8 mmHg.

n = 12

Z score for 99% confidence interval = 2.56

Confidence Interval =

142.3 ± 2.56 × 20.8/√12

142.3 ± 2.56 × 6.0044427996

142.3 ± 15.371373567

Confidence Interval

= 142.3 - 15.371373567

= 126.92862643

≈ 126.93

142.3 + 15.371373567

= 157.67137357

≈ 157.67

Therefore, the 99% confidence interval = (126.93,157.67)

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Total boxes= 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

A baseball bat factory produces 24,000 bats per day and uses 50 boxes for packing the bats.

<u>First, we need to determine the number of bats that fits into a box:</u>

Bats per box= 24,000 / 50

Barts per box= 480

<u>Now, the number of boxes for 36,000 bats:</u>

Total boxes= total bats / bats per box

Total boxes= 36,000/480

Total boxes= 75
