To solve this problem, we first must rewrite each term in the form k times a^n so that we can compute the multiplication afterwards. To do this, we must remember that the square root of a is equivalent to a^(1/2) and that variables in the denominator have negative exponents. Using this knowledge, we can rewrite the given expression as:

a^(1/2) * (2a² - 4a^(-1))

Now, we must recall that when terms with the same base are multiplied together, we must add the exponents when simplifying. This step is shown below.

2a^(1/2 + 2) - 4a^(1/2 - 1)

The next step is to perform the addition of the exponents and obtain our final answer.

2a^(5/2) - 4a^(-1/2)

The above expression is your final answer.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

(a) The sample size required is 43.

(b) The sample size required is 62.

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - α) % confidence interval for population mean is:

$CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

The margin of error for this interval is:

$MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

(a)

The information provided is:

<em>σ</em> = 4 minutes

MOE = 72 seconds = 1.2 minutes

Confidence level = 95%

α = 5%

Compute the critical value of z for α = 5% as follows:

$z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

*Use a z-table.

Compute the sample size required as follows:

$MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$n=[\frac{z_{\alpha/2}\times \sigma}{MOE} ]^{2}$

$=[\frac{1.96\times 4}{1.2}]^{2}\\\\=42.684\\\\\approx 43$

Thus, the sample size required is 43.

(b)

The information provided is:

<em>σ</em> = 4 minutes

MOE = 1 minute

Confidence level = 95%

α = 5%

Compute the critical value of z for α = 5% as follows:

$z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

*Use a z-table.

Compute the sample size required as follows:

$MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$n=[\frac{z_{\alpha/2}\times \sigma}{MOE} ]^{2}$

$=[\frac{1.96\times 4}{1}]^{2}\\\\=61.4656\\\\\approx 62$

Thus, the sample size required is 62.

Can anyone explain how you graph things for example, like y=x-4 how would you graph that

Savatey [412]

Answer:

In basicallity if a question such as this pops up, the correct way to go would first be to graph this. y=x-4 would be equivalent to x=4.

My paper work is below:

y = x - 4

0 = x - 4

-x = -4

x = 4

Hope this helped..
