The answer is -1/6.

because (-1/6) is a negative expression separated by parenthesis, you use addition instead of subtraction and make it positive.

-1/3+1/6= -1/6

For the function g(x) = x – 2x^2, find g (–3) + 13

svp [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = x - 2x²

To find g( - 3) + 13 substitute the value of x that's - 3 into g(x) and add 13 to it

We have

g( - 3) + 13 = - 3 - 2(-3)² + 13

= -- 3 - 2(9) + 13

= 3 - 18 + 13

We have the final answer as

If x^2+1/x^2=3 find the value of x^2/(x^2+1)^2<br> Express answer as a common fraction.<br> Thanks!!

timama [110]

$x^2+\dfrac1{x^2}=3\implies x^4+1=3x^2\implies x^4-3x^2+1=0$

By the quadratic formula,

$x^2=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt5}2\implies x^2+1=\dfrac{5\pm\sqrt5}2$

Then

$(x^2+1)^2=\dfrac{25\pm10\sqrt5+5}4=\dfrac{15\pm5\sqrt5}2$

$\implies\dfrac{x^2}{(x^2+1)^2}=\dfrac{\frac{3\pm\sqrt5}2}{\frac{15\pm5\sqrt5}2}=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt5}{15\pm5\sqrt5}$

Multiply numerator and denominator by the denominator's conjugate:

$\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt5}{15\pm5\sqrt5}\cdot\dfrac{15\mp5\sqrt5}{15\mp5\sqrt5}=\dfrac{45\pm15\sqrt5\mp15\sqrt5-25}{15^2-(5\sqrt5)^2}=\dfrac{20}{100}=\dfrac15$

Plz help

inn [45]

We are given with
P(pop quiz) = 60%
P(not do homework) = 85%

And the condition that
P (pop quiz and do homework) > 5%

So,
P (pop quiz) x P (do homework)
P (pop quiz) x ( 1 - P (not do homework) )
60% x ( 1 - 85%)

The result is greater than five percent so he will not do his homework.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Using the z-distribution and the formula for the margin of error, it is found that:

a) A sample size of 54 is needed.

b) A sample size of 752 is needed.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
