Answer:

a = - 3, a = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) = x² + 2 and g(x) = x + 14 , then

f(a) = a² + 2 and g(a) = a + 14

For f(a) = g(a) , then equate the right sides

a² + 2 = a + 14 ( subtract a + 14 from both sides )

a² - a - 12 = 0 ← in standard form

(a - 4)(a + 3) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for a

a + 3 = 0 ⇒ a = - 3

a - 4 = 0 ⇒ a = 4

Is the solution of -2x = -15 greater than or less than -15? Explain.
adell [148]
You divide both sides by -2. -15/-2=7.5
Negatives cancel so you get a positive. Positive numbers are obviously greater than -15 so it's greater than

k0ka [10]

Answer:

The 99​% confidence interval for the mean loss in value per home is between $5359 and $13463

Step-by-step explanation:

We are in posession of the sample's standard deviation, so we use the student's t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 45 - 1 = 44

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 44 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995([tex]t_{995}). So we have T = 2.6923

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 1505*2.6923 = 4052.

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 9411 - 4052 = $5359

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 9411 + 4052 = $13463

The 99​% confidence interval for the mean loss in value per home is between $5359 and $13463
