Solution,

Given; x^3-7x^2-x+7=0

Using factor theorem,

we have,

i)x^3-7x^2-x+7=0

let's check whether 1 is the factor of given equation or not by replacing the value of x by one..

or, 1^3-7.1^2-1+7=0

or, 1-7-1+7=0(.°. Cancellation of +1&-1 and +7&-7 in equation)

.°.0=0

which proves that 1 is one of the factor of x

therefore(x-1) is a factor of x^3-7x^2-x+7=0.

Now,

Expanding the x^3-7x^2-x+7=0 to get (x-1) as a factor...

ii)x^3-7x^2-x+7=0

or,x^3-x^2-6x^2+6x-7x+7

or,x^2(x-1) - 6x(x-1) - 7(x-1) = 0

or,(x-1) (x^2-6x-7)w = 0

or,,(x-1) (x^2-(7-1)x-7) =0

or,,(x-1) (x^2-7x + x -7) =0

or,(x-1) [x(x-7)+1(x-7)] = 0

or,(x-1) (x+1) (x-7) = 0

Either,

i) x - 1=0

.°.x = 1

And,

ii)x + 1 = 0

.°. x = -1

Or,

iii) x - 7 = 0

.°.x =7

Hence, the required value of x are -1 ,+1 & 7.

the base of a triangle and a parallelogram are the same length there Heights are also the same if the area of the parallelogram
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is A = b*h. The area of a triangle is A = 1/2 b*h. This means if the area of the parallelogram is 48 square meters then the area of the triangle is 24 square meters.

Lazurus Steel Corporation produces iron rods that are supposed to be 36 inches long. The machine that makes these rods does not
Igoryamba

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would construct a confidence interval.

Confidence interval is written in the form,

(Sample mean - margin of error, sample mean + margin of error)

The sample mean, x is the point estimate for the population mean.

Since the sample size is large and the population standard deviation is known, we would use the following formula and determine the z score from the normal distribution table.

Margin of error = z × σ/√n

Where

σ = population standard Deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given

x = 36.02 inches

σ = 0.1 inches

n = 40

To determine the z score, we subtract the confidence level from 100% to get α

α = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

α/2 = 0.01/2 = 0.005

This is the area in each tail. Since we want the area in the middle, it becomes

1 - 0.005 = 0.995

The z score corresponding to the area on the z table is 2.58. Thus, confidence level of 99% is 2.58

Margin of error = 2.58 × 0.1/√40 = 0.041

Confidence interval = 36.02 ± 0.041

The lower end of the confidence interval is

36.02 - 0.041 = 35.979 inches

The upper end of the confidence interval is

36.02 - 0.041 = 36.061 inches

Since 36.061 > 36.05, then we would conclude that the machine needs an adjustment.

The formula used is

Confidence interval =

Sample mean ± z × σ/√n
