Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x⁴+ax²+b) ÷ (x+1) = x³-x²+(a+1)x-(a+1) remainder b+(a+1)

Since x+1 is a factor, b+(a+1) = 0.

(x³-x²+(a+1)x-(a+1)) ÷ (x+2) = x²-3x+(a+7) remainder -3a-15

Since x+2 is a factor, -3a-15 = 0

a = -5

b = 4

x⁴+ax²+b = x⁴ - 5x² + 4 = (x²-4)(x²-1) = (x+2)(x-2)(x+1)(x-1)

What is negative 3 minus x equals negative 10
OlgaM077 [116]
In order to solve this equation, let's write it out in number form:

-3 - x = -10

In order to isolate 'x' we need to ensure that there is only 'x' on one side. We can get rid of the -3 by adding 3 to both sides:
-3 + 3 - x = -10 +3
-x = -7

Because there are negatives on both sides, you can simply cancel them out:

x = 7

The manager of a grocery store has taken a random sample of 100 customers. The average length of time it took these 100 customer
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

4-2.326\frac{1}{\sqrt{100}}=3.767    

4+2.326\frac{1}{\sqrt{100}}=4.233    

So on this case the 98% confidence interval would be given by (3.767;4.233)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X=4 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma=1 represent the population standard deviation

n=100 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.98 or 98%, the value of \alpha=0.02 and \alpha/2 =0.01, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.01,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=2.326

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

4-2.326\frac{1}{\sqrt{100}}=3.767    

4+2.326\frac{1}{\sqrt{100}}=4.233    

So on this case the 98% confidence interval would be given by (3.767;4.233)

the area of a square floor on a scale drawing is 100 square centimeters, and the scale of the drawing is 1 cm: 2 ft. what is the
kondaur [170]
The square root of 100 is 10. The drawing must be 10 cm by 10 cm.

1 cm = 2 ft, so 10 cm must equal 20 feet.

20 * 20 = 400 square feet :)

Gavin is thinking of a number.8 more than the product of 7 and the number is 120. find the number.
Marta_Voda [28]
<h3><u>The value of the number is equal to 16.</u></h3>

7x + 8 = 120

<em><u>Subtract 8 from both sides.</u></em>

7x = 112

<em><u>Divide both sides by 7.</u></em>

x = 16
