Describe the error made in subtracting the two rational expressions shown

Mathematics

Andru [333]3 years ago

Answer:

The minus sign between the two fractions was not distributed correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The error made in this solution of rational fractions' subtraction is that the minus sign between the two terms will change the signs of numerator of second fraction so the numerator in the answer will be 3.

The correct solution is:

\frac{1}{x-2} - \frac{1}{x+1}\\=\frac{x+1}{(x-2)(x+1)} - \frac{x-2}{(x-2)(x+1)}\\=\frac{x+1-(x-2)}{(x+1)(x-2)}\\=\frac{x+1-x+2}{(x+1)(x-2)}\\=\frac{3}{(x+1)(x-2)}

Hence,

The error was in the last step of subtraction.

Answer:

You must subtract all terms of the numerator being subtracted out, not just the first term.

The negative 2 should have been subtracted out to get a numerator of x+1 - x+2

The simplified numerator of the difference should be 3, not –1.

Determine the critical value or values for a one-mean z-test at the 1% significance level if the hypothesis test is right-tailed
kifflom [539]

Answer:

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is greater than specified value, the system of hypothesis would be:      

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq \mu_o      

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > \mu_o      

For this case the significance is 1%. So we need to find a critical value in the normal standard distribution who accumulates 0.99 of the area in the left and 0.01 in the right and for this case this critical value is:

z_{crit}= 2.326

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation

\bar X represent the sample mean

\sigma represent the standard deviation for the population      

n= sample size      

\mu_o represent the value that we want to test    

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.    

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)      

State the null and alternative hypotheses.      

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is greater than specified value, the system of hypothesis would be:      

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq \mu_o      

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > \mu_o      

For this case the significance is 1%. So we need to find a critical value in the normal standard distribution who accumulates 0.99 of the area in the left and 0.01 in the right and for this case this critical value is:

Which equation is the correct translation of the following statement?
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: x - 4 = 9  (x will equal 13)

What I did was since 4 is less than 13 we could use 13-4 since 4 is less than 13.

13-4 will get u 9 so that x will equal 13

13-4=9
