Answer:
"complete the square" to put in vertex form
Step-by-step explanation:
It may be helpful to consider the square of a binomial:
(x +a)² = x² +2ax +a²
The expression x² +x +1 is in the standard form of the expression on the right above. Comparing the coefficients of x, we see ...
2a = 1
a = 1/2
That means we can write ...
(x +1/2)² = x² +x +1/4
But we need x² +x +1, so we need to add 3/4 to the binomial square in order to make the expressions equal:
_____
Another way to consider this is ...
x² +bx +c
= x² +2(b/2)x +(b/2)² +c -(b/2)² . . . . . . rewrite bx, add and subtract (b/2)²*
= (x +b/2)² +(c -(b/2)²)
for b=1, c=1, this becomes ...
x² +x +1 = (x +1/2)² +(1 -(1/2)²)
= (x +1/2)² +3/4
_____
* This process, "rewrite bx, add and subtract (b/2)²," is called "completing the square"—especially when written as (x-h)² +k, a parabola with vertex (h, k).
Given:
The given quadratic polynomial is :
To find:
The quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are negatives of the zeroes of the given polynomial.
Solution:
We have,
Equate the polynomial with 0 to find the zeroes.
Splitting the middle term, we get
The zeroes of the given polynomial are -3 and 4.
The zeroes of a quadratic polynomial are negatives of the zeroes of the given polynomial. So, the zeroes of the required polynomial are 3 and -4.
A quadratic polynomial is defined as:
Therefore, the required polynomial is .
Answer:
from the t-distribution table, at df = 7 and t = 2.23
Lies p-values [ 0.05 and 0.025 ]
Hence;
0.025 < p-value < 0.05
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that;
= 6.5 gpm
μ = 5 gpm
n = eight runs = 8
standard deviation σ = 1.9 gpm
Test statistics;
t = ( - μ) /
we substitute
t = (6.5 - 5) /
t = 1.5 / 0.67175
t = 2.23
the degree of freedom df = n-1 = 8 - 1
df = 7
Now, from the t-distribution table, at df = 7 and t = 2.23
Lies p-values [ 0.05 and 0.025 ]
Hence;
0.025 < p-value < 0.05
