P(x)=2x ³+ x ²-7x-6​

Mathematics
1 answer:
s344n2d4d5 [400]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = -1.5, -1, 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming you want to solve this>

Solve 2x ³ + x ² -7x - 6​ = 0

It looks like x = -1 is a solution so we try it:

2*(-1)^3 + (-1)^2 -7(-1) - 6

= -2 + 1 + 7 - 6

= -1 + 1 = 0

So x = -1 is one root.

So (x + 1) must be a factor of P(x)

Now we divide by x + 1:

x + 1)2x ³     + x ²   -7x -  6​( 2x^2 - x - 6  <--- quotient

       2x^3 + 2x^2

                  -x^2  - 7x

                  -x^2  -  x

                             -6x -  6

                             -6x -  6

                              ----------

2x^2 - x - 6 = 0

(2x + 3)(x - 2) = 0

x = -1.5, 2.

A manufacturer of running shoes knows that the average lifetime for a particular model of shoes is 15 months. Someone in the res
AveGali [126]

Answer:

The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

 The conclusion is  

There is no sufficient evidence to show that  the  designer's claim of a better shoe is supported by the trial results.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The population mean is  \mu = 15 \ months

   The sample size is  n =  25

   The sample mean is  \= x  = 17 \ months

   The standard deviation is  s = 5.5 \ months

Let assume the level of significance of this test is  \alpha  = 0.05

    The null hypothesis is  H_o :  \mu = 15

     The alternative hypothesis is  H_a : \mu  > 17

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as  

         df = n -1

=>       df = 25 -1

=>       df = 24

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

        t = \frac{\= x- \mu }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }

=>   t = \frac{ 17 - 15 }{\frac{5.5}{\sqrt{25} } }

=>   t =  1.8182

Generally from the student t distribution table the probability of obtaining   t =  1.8182 to the right of the curve at a degree of freedom of df = 24  is  

    p-value  = P(t > 0.18182 ) = 0.4286

From the value obtained we see that  p-value > \alpha hence

The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

 The conclusion is  

There is no sufficient evidence to show that  the  designer's claim of a better shoe is  supported by the trial results.

Arah went to the grocery store and bought 4 loaves of bread and 1 gallon of milk for $12. The next week, Sarah bought 2 loaves o
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Here, b represents one loaf of bread and m represents the one gallon of milk.

As per the statement:

Arah went to the grocery store and bought 4 loaves of bread and 1 gallon of milk for $12.

⇒4b+m = 12  

It is also given that the next week, Sarah bought 2 loaves of bread and 3 gallons of milk for $13.50.

⇒2b+3m = 13.50

Then; system of equation :

4b+m = 12                   .....[1]

2b+3m = 13.50           .....[2]

Solve for b and m using above system of equations.

Multiply equation [2] by 2 we get;

4b+6m = 27              .....[3]

Subtract equation [1] from [3] we get;

4b+6m - 4b -m= 27-12

Combine like terms;

5m= 15

Divide both sides by 5 we get;

m = $3

Substitute the value of m in equation [1] we get;

4b+3 = 12

Subtract 3 from both sides we get;

4b=9

Divide both sides by 4 we get;

b = $2.25

Therefore, cost of one loaf of bread (b) and one gallon of milk (m) are:

$2.25 ad $3

H(x) = 1/3x - 1 if h (15)
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

(

h

∘

f

∘

g

)

(

x

)

is known as a composite function. Here's how composite functions work:

let's say that  

x

=

1

. Your function  

g

(

x

)

=

1

3

(

x

)

now produces a  

y

output of  

1

3

, since  

g

(

1

)

=

1

3

(

1

)

. Within a composite function, the y-value of one function becomes the x-value of the next, like so:

g

(

1

)

=

1

3

⇒

f

(

1

3

)

=

17

3

⇒

h

(

17

3

)

=

17

Therefore,

(

h

∘

f

∘

g

)

(

1

)

=

17

Based on this, to find the function for  

(

h

∘

f

∘

g

)

(

x

)

(combined from right to left, by the way), simply replace  

x

in  

f

(

x

)

with the function  

g

(

x

)

, and replace  

x

in  

h

(

x

)

with the function of  

(

f

∘

g

)

(

x

)

, to get  

(

h

∘

f

∘

g

)

(

x

)

.

This, simplified, is equal to  

2

x

+

15

, and therefore  

(

h

∘

f

∘

g

)

(

1

)

=

2

(

1

)

+

15

=

17
