Answer:

  a) x = -1, x = 4

  b) y = x^2 -3x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We observe the x-intercepts are x = -1 and x = 4. These are the solutions to y = 0, which is usually what we want in cases like this.

The solutions are x=-1 and x=4.

__

b) We know two of the factors are (x +1) and (x -4). There may be an additional constant factor for vertical scaling. One point we can check is the y-intercept.

  y = a(x +1)(x -4)

For x=0, this is ...

  y = a(1)(-4) = -4a

The y-intercept is y = -4, so we have a=1.

The factored equation is ...

  y = (x +1)(x -4)

Multiplying this out gives the equation in standard form:

  y = x^2 -3x -4

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Your teacher may want the standard form equation to be ...

  x^2 -3x -4 = 0

This is the equation of two specific points: x=-1 and x=4. It is not the equation of the graph.

Dmitry [639]

Using the t-distribution, it is found that since the p-value of the test is of 0.0302, which is <u>less than the standard significance level of 0.05</u>, the data provides convincing evidence that the average food intake is different for the patients in the treatment group.

At the null hypothesis, it is <u>tested if the consumption is not different</u>, that is, if the subtraction of the means is 0, hence:

H_0: \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0

At the alternative hypothesis, it is <u>tested if the consumption is different</u>, that is, if the subtraction of the means is not 0, hence:

H_1: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \neq 0

Two groups of 22 patients, hence, the standard errors are:

s_1 = \frac{45.1}{\sqrt{22}} = 9.6154

s_2 = \frac{26.4}{\sqrt{22}} = 5.6285

The distribution of the differences is has:

\overline{x} = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 52.1 - 27.1 = 25

s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{9.6154^2 + 5.6285^2} = 11.14

The test statistic is given by:

t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s}

In which \mu = 0 is the value tested at the null hypothesis.

Hence:

t = \frac{25 - 0}{11.14}

t = 2.2438

The p-value of the test is found using a <u>two-tailed test</u>, as we are testing if the mean is different of a value, with <u>t = 2.2438</u> and 22 + 22 - 2 = <u>42 df.</u>

  • Using a t-distribution calculator, this p-value is of 0.0302.

Since the p-value of the test is of 0.0302, which is <u>less than the standard significance level of 0.05</u>, the data provides convincing evidence that the average food intake is different for the patients in the treatment group.
