Answer:

-8+5√2 and -8-5√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression x² + 16x + 14 = 0

USing the general formulas

x = -16±√16²-4(14)/2

x = -16±√256-56/2

x = -16±√200/2

x = -16±10√2/2

x = -8±5√2

Hence the required solutions are -8+5√2 and -8-5√2

Form a polynomial whose real zeros and degree. zeros: -3,0,2: Degree 3

mariarad [96]

Answer:

The polynomial is $x^3 + x^2-6x$ .

Explanation:

Given:

Real zeros: -3,0,2

Degree 3

To Find:

The polynomial

Solution:

Now, according to given information, x = -3, x = 0 and x = 2 are zeros of equation.

Then, x – (-3) x + 3, x and x – 2 are the factors of the equation.

Now, multiply the factors, such that we will get equation.

x(x + 3)(x – 2)

$x(x^2 + 3-2x- 6)$

$x(x^2+ x-6)$

$x^3 + x^2-6x$

what is the equation, in slope- intercept form, of the line that contains the points (-3,4) and (5,7)

gavmur [86]

Answer:

y = $\frac{3}{8}$ x + $\frac{41}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

To calculate the slope use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 7)

m = $\frac{7-4}{5+3}$ = $\frac{3}{8}$ , hence

y = $\frac{3}{8}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (5, 7 ), then

7 = $\frac{15}{8}$ + c ⇒ c = 7 - $\frac{15}{8}$ = $\frac{41}{8}$

y = $\frac{3}{8}$ x + $\frac{41}{8}$ ← equation in slope-intercept form

11 relaxing after work. the 2010 general social survey asked the question: "after an average work day, about how many hours do y

Bogdan [553]

A confidence interval tells us how many percents we are confident about the range of a parameter. In this problem, a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of hours spent relaxing or pursuing activities they enjoy was (1.38, 1.92). That means we're 95% confident that the Americans spend from 1.38 hours to 1.92 hours per day on average relaxing or pursuing activities they enjoy. In other words, 95% of the samples of the same size would have a mean number of hours relaxing or pursuing activities they enjoy between 1.38 to 1.92.
