\dfrac{5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21}{(x-3)(x^2-2)^2}=\dfrac{a_1}{x-3}+\dfrac{a_2x+a_3}{x^2-2}+\dfrac{a_4x+a_5}{(x^2-2)^2}
\implies 5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21=a_1(x^2-2)^2+(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)+(a_4x+a_5)(x-3)

When x=3, you're left with

147=49a_1\implies a_1=\dfrac{147}{49}=3

When x=\sqrt2 or x=-\sqrt2, you're left with

\begin{cases}17-8\sqrt2=(\sqrt2a_4+a_5)(\sqrt2-3)&\text{for }x=\sqrt2\\17+8\sqrt2=(-\sqrt2a_4+a_5)(-\sqrt2-3)\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}-5+\sqrt2=\sqrt2a_4+a_5\\-5-\sqrt2=-\sqrt2a_4+a_5\end{cases}

Adding the two equations together gives -10=2a_5, or a_5=-5. Subtracting them gives 2\sqrt2=2\sqrt2a_4, a_4=1.

Now, you have

5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21=3(x^2-2)^2+(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)+(x-5)(x-3)
5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21=3x^4-11x^2-8x+27+(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)
2x^4-7x^3-x^2+14x-6=(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)

By just examining the leading and lagging (first and last) terms that would be obtained by expanding the right side, and matching these with the terms on the left side, you would see that a_2x^4=2x^4 and a_3(-3)(-2)=6a_3=-6. These alone tell you that you must have a_2=2 and a_3=-1.

So the partial fraction decomposition is

\dfrac3{x-3}+\dfrac{2x-1}{x^2-2}+\dfrac{x-5}{(x^2-2)^2}

Recall the following study: Over a 17-year period researchers studied a sample of 707 individuals from a single community. They
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Hence the answer is option c ; poverty and neighborhood conditions

Step-by-step explanation:

From the research, it is well known that both the dependent variable and independent variable will be taken into consideration before arriving at a conclusion.

A dependent variable is the variable that is been studied or measured i.e the results of a scientific research.

An independent variable is a variable that is been altered or controlled for and whose effects are compared to the results of the dependent variable, as such the results of  a dependent variable is dependent on the alteration of the parameters of an independent variable.

From the question ; the dependent variable is sample of 707 individuals from a single community while the independent variable ; the number of hours each individual spent watching television during adolescence and early adulthood.

The word confound in statistics implies a variable which has a greater effects on both the dependent and the independent variable.

Hence the answer is option c ; poverty and neighborhood conditions

Differentiating a Logarithmic Function in Exercise, find the derivative of the function. See Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Leni [432]

Answer:  \dfrac{2x^2-1}{x(x^2-1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function : y=\ln(x(x^2 - 1)^{\frac{1}{2}})

\Rightarrow\ y=\ln x+\ln (x^2-1)^{\frac{1}{2}}    [\because \ln(ab)=\ln a +\ln b]

\Rightarrow y=\ln x+\dfrac{1}{2}\ln (x^2-1)}  [\because \ln(a)^n=n\ln a]

Now , Differentiate both sides  with respect to x , we will get

\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{1}{x^2-1})\dfrac{d}{dx}(x^2-1) (By Chain rule)

[Note : \dfrac{d}{dx}(\ln x)=\dfrac{1}{x}]

\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{1}{x^2-1})(2x-0)

[ \because \dfrac{d}{dx}(x^n)=nx^{n-1}]

=\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{1}{x^2-1})(2x) = \dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{x}{x^2-1}\\\\\\=\dfrac{(x^2-1)+(x^2)}{x(x^2-1)}\\\\\\=\dfrac{2x^2-1}{x(x^2-1)}

Hence, the derivative of the given function is \dfrac{2x^2-1}{x(x^2-1)} .
