An 8th-degree polynomial needs 9 terms that involve
x⁸, x⁷, ..., x¹, and x⁰.
x=10 implies that (x-10) is a factor of the polynomial according to the Remainder theorem.
Let the polynomial be of the form
f(x) = a₁x⁸ + a₂x⁷ + a₃x⁶ +a₄x⁵ + a₅x⁴ + a₆x³ + a₇x² + a₈x + a₉
The first few lines of the synthetic division are
10 | a₁ a₂ a₃ a₄ a₅ a₆ a₇ a₈ a₉ ( the first row has 9 coefficients)

a₁
Answer:
The first row has 9 coefficients.
Answer:
-1/53
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-74
Step-by-step explanation:
Graph the function. See attached picture. Between the interval where -4 > x < 0, the graph rises up to a peak and descends back down when x = 0. This means the minimum value will be where x = -4.
Substitute x = -4 into the equation.
f(-4) = (-4)^3 -3(-4)^2 - 9(-4) + 2
f(-4) = -64 -3(16) +36 + 2
f(-4) = -64 - 48 + 36 + 2
f(-4) = -74
Answer:
And rounded up we have that n=385
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".
The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
Solution to the problem
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 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by and . And the critical value would be given by:
The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:
(a)
And on this case we have that and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:
(b)
We can use as an estimator for p . And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:
And rounded up we have that n=385
Let x = length of segment EF.
Assume that
(a) line segments AD, EF, and BC are parallel, and
(b) the vertical distance between AD and EF is equal to the vertical distance between EF and BC.
Then from similarity between geometric shapes, we can write
x=3.2 (nearest tenth)
Answer: B.
3.2
