Answer:
Choice b.
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The highest power of the variable 
in this polynomial is 
. In other words, this polynomial is quadratic.
It is thus possible to apply the quadratic formula to find the "roots" of this polynomial. (A root of a polynomial is a value of the variable that would set the polynomial to 
.)
After finding these roots, it would be possible to factorize this polynomial using the Factor Theorem.
Apply the quadratic formula to find the two roots that would set this quadratic polynomial to . The discriminant of this polynomial is 
.
.
Similarly:
.
By the Factor Theorem, if 
is a root of a polynomial, then 
would be a factor of that polynomial. Note the minus sign between and 
.
- The root
corresponds to the factor 
, which simplifies to 
. - The root
corresponds to the factor 
, which simplifies to 
.
Verify that 
indeed expands to the original polynomial:
.
Answer:
Part B: is -60 divided by -10
Part C: is The number of increments is positive.
Part D: is -1 times 60 / -1 times 10
Part E: is Any number divided by itself is 1. In the expression -1 times 60, the -1s in the numerator and the denominator cancel each other out to give the result 60/10, or 6
Part F: is There are 6 increments of -10 feet in -60 feet.
Part G is: copy and paste -10 feet 6 times
Part H: is -60 / 4 increments
Part I: is there is one negative number in the expression, so the solution will be negative. There isn't a -1 in the denominator to cancel out the -1 in the numerator.
Part J: is -60 /4 =-15 Alex’s elevation change in each increment was -15 feet.
Step-by-Step Explaination: I did the test.
Answer:
d and g
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(x - 2)² = - 16 ( take the square root of both sides )
x - 2 = ± 
= ± 
= ± 4i ( add 2 to both sides )
x = 2 ± 4i
Thus
x = 2 + 4i → (d)
x = 2 - 4i → (g)

Answera and Step-by-step explanation: Correlation Coefficient is the measure of how strong two variables are. There are numerous types of correlation coefficients and the product moment correlation coefficient, also known as <em>Pearson's correlation</em> or <em>Pearson's R</em> is most commonly used in linear regression. The formula to calculate it is:
r = n(∑xy) - (∑x)(∑y) / √[∑x² - (∑x)²].[n∑y² - (∑y)²]
To find the value of R:
1) Separate the values of X and Y and out them in 2 columns.
2) Add 3 more columns: for xy, x² and y²;
3) Find the values of each column;
4) Add each column;
5) Put the sum of each column in its place on the formula above;
6) Find the correlation.
i) For this question, r = 0.9645. As it's <u>positive</u>, means that the two variables are directly linked, i.e., an increase in one variable will produce an increase in the other variable in the same proportion.
ii) The Senator should distribute Norvasc to the old adults groups, because, as the <u>population grows</u>, the death associated with high blood pressure will <u>also grow</u>, as explained by the correlation coefficient.
