Answer:

f(x) = (x + 4)^2*(x - 5)^3

Step-by-step explanation:

For a polynomial P(x) with zeros (or roots):

x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ

And a leading coefficient (the one that multiplies the term of highest degree) A, we can write the polynomial as:

P(x) = A*(x - x₁)*(x - x₂)*...*(x - xₙ)

Now, some of these roots can be repeated.

For example if x₁ = x₂

Then we say that the root x₁ has a multiplicity of two.

And we write the polynomial as:

P(x) = A*(x - x₁)^2*(x - x₃)*....*(x - xₙ)

Now, if we have a polynomial with the roots (or zeros):

Zero at -4 with a multiplicity of 2 (we have the root x = -4 two times)

Zero at 5 with a multiplicity of 3 (we have the root x = 5 3 times)

(And a leading coefficient A = 1, I assume)

This polynomial will be written as:

f(x) = (x - (-4))*(x - (-4))*(x - 5)*(x - 5)*(x - 5)

f(x) = (x + 4)*(x + 4)*(x - 5)*(x - 5)*(x - 5)

f(x) = (x + 4)^2*(x - 5)^3

The correct option is the third one:

Find the equation of the sphere centered at (-9,9, -9) with radius 5. Normalize your equations so that the coefficient of x2 is

olganol [36]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) x² + y² + z² + 18(x - y + z) + 218 = 0

(b) (x + 9)² + (y - 9)² + 56 = 0

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The general equation of a sphere of radius r and centered at C = (x₀, y₀, z₀) is given by;

(x - x₀)² + (y - y₀)² + (z - z₀)² = r² ------------------(i)

From the question:

The sphere is centered at C = (x₀, y₀, z₀) = (-9, 9, -9) and has a radius r = 5.

Therefore, to get the equation of the sphere, substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

(x - (-9))² + (y - 9)² + (z - (-9))² = 5²

(x + 9)² + (y - 9)² + (z + 9)² = 25 ------------------(ii)

Open the brackets and have the following:

(x + 9)² + (y - 9)² + (z + 9)² = 25

(x² + 18x + 81) + (y² - 18y + 81) + (z² + 18z + 81) = 25

x² + 18x + 81 + y² - 18y + 81 + z² + 18z + 81 = 25

x² + y² + z² + 18(x - y + z) + 243 = 25

x² + y² + z² + 18(x - y + z) + 218 = 0 [equation has already been normalized since the coefficient of x² is 1]

Therefore, the equation of the sphere centered at (-9,9, -9) with radius 5 is:

x² + y² + z² + 18(x - y + z) + 218 = 0

(2) To get the equation when the sphere intersects a plane z = 0, we substitute z = 0 in equation (ii) as follows;

(x + 9)² + (y - 9)² + (0 + 9)² = 25

(x + 9)² + (y - 9)² + (9)² = 25

(x + 9)² + (y - 9)² + 81 = 25 [subtract 25 from both sides]

(x + 9)² + (y - 9)² + 81 - 25 = 25 - 25

(x + 9)² + (y - 9)² + 56 = 0

The equation is therefore, (x + 9)² + (y - 9)² + 56 = 0

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards, the head circumference for boys at birth is normally di

Elena L [17]

Answer:

$z = \frac{X -\mu}{\sigma}$

This z score tell to us how many deviations we are below or above the mean for a given normal distribution.

For the case of Eddie we got:

$z= \frac{33.2-34.5}{1.3}= -1$

And for the case of Sue we got:

$z = \frac{32.7-33.9}{1.2}= -1$

So then for both cases we see that Eddie and Sue are 1 deviation below the true mean for each gender so then the best conclusion for this case would be:

C.They are the same size relative to other children of the same sex.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define the random variable X as the head circumference for boys at birth and we know that the distribution for X is given by:

$X\sim N(\mu = 34.5, \sigma=1.3)$

Similarly we can define the random variable Y as the head circumference for boys at birth and we know that the distribution for Y is given by:

$Y\sim N(\mu = 33.9, \sigma=1.2)$

And we know that Eddie was born with 33.2 cm and Sue with 32.7 cm for the head circumference . Since we are interested to determine which child's head circumference is smaller relative to other children of the same sex, we can use the z score formula given by this formula:

$z = \frac{X -\mu}{\sigma}$

This z score tell to us how many deviations we are below or above the mean for a given normal distribution.

For the case of Eddie we got:

$z= \frac{33.2-34.5}{1.3}= -1$

And for the case of Sue we got:

$z = \frac{32.7-33.9}{1.2}= -1$

So then for both cases we see that Eddie and Sue are 1 deviation below the true mean for each gender so then the best conclusion for this case would be:

C.They are the same size relative to other children of the same sex.

(1.) decide if function f is invertible.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

a) f(n) is the number of students in your calculus class whose birthday is on the nth day of the year.

f(n) is not invertible because several different days, n, may have the same number of students, f(n). Then for one specific f(n) you cannot determine a unique n.

b) f(x) is the volume in litters of x kilograms of water at 4 degrees celsius.?

f(x) is invertible because each x gives a different f(x), then you can determine unambiguously which f(x) corresponds to each x.
