<h2>Answer:</h2>

Multiplication.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Given functions:

f(x) = 2x - 1

g(x) = 2x + 4

Let's perform some basic arithmetic operations on them to see which will result in the largest coefficient of the x term

i. Addition.

f(x) + g(x)

(2x - 1) + (2x + 4)

2x - 1 + 2x + 4

4x + 3

Here, the x term has a coefficient of 4

ii. Subtraction

f(x) - g(x)

(2x - 1) - (2x + 4)

2x - 1 - 2x - 4

-5

Here, the x term does not exist or has a coefficient of 0

iii. Multiplication.

f(x) * g(x)

(2x - 1) * (2x + 4)

4x² + 8x - 2x - 4

4x² + 6x - 4

Here, the x term has a coefficient of 6

iv. Division

Division is not exactly applicable here since there are not terms cancelling out.

Therefore, the multiplication operation will result in the largest coefficient on the x term with the coefficient being 6

Answer:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.025}{1.28})^2}=655.36$

And rounded up we have that n=656

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 80% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.80=0.20$ and $\alpha/2 =0.10$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.28$

Solution to the problem

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

Since we don't have prior info for the proportion of interest we can use $\hat p=0.5$ as estimator. And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.025$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.025}{1.28})^2}=655.36$

And rounded up we have that n=656
