, n, E, and p represent? If the confidence level is 90%, what is the value of 
?

Generally is the level of significance and it value is mathematically evaluated as
Where 
is the confidence level which is given in this question as 
So
Answer:
x = - 2, x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The denominator of the rational expression cannot be zero as this would make the expression undefined.
Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the values that x cannot be.
Solve
- 3x² + 12x + 36 = 0 ( divide through by - 3 )
x² - 4x - 12 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
x = - 2 and x = 6 ← are the excluded values
The answer to that would be 0.0098.
