Which of the following shows that polynomials are closed under addition when two polynomials 4x2 − 8x − 7 and −5x + 16 are added

?
a. 4x^2 - 13x + 9 may or may not be a polynomial

b. 4x^2 + 13x -23 may or may not be a polynomial

c. 4x^2 -13x + 9 will be a polynomial

First we have to combine like terms. 4x² is one term. -8x is another term. -7 is another term. poly = "many" ⇒ polynomial = many terms

(4x² - 8x - 7) + (-5x + 16)

4x² - 8x - 7 - 5x + 16

Combine like terms.
Step 1: 4x² has no other terms with x² so it stays by itself.
Step 2: -8x and -5x are like terms because they both have x.
So -8x -5x = -13x (You put two negatives together)
Step 3: -7 and 16 don't have any x with them. -7 + 16 = 16 - 7 = 9

Now we put all the answers of the steps together.
Step 1: 4x²
Step 2: -13x
Step 3: 9

So the answer is 4x² - 13x +9
And it's a polynomial because there are three terms = "more than one term"

The mean exam score for the first group of twenty examinees applying for a security

job is 35.3 with a standard deviation of 3.6.
The mean exam score for the second group of twenty examinees is 34.1 with a
standard deviation of 0.5. Both distributions are close to symmetric in shape.
Use the mean and standard deviation to compare the scores of the two groups.

Forty-five percent of households say they would feel secure if they had​ $50,000 in savings. You randomly select 8 households
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

0.172 ; 0.0884 ; 0.9115

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion or those who feel secure, p = 0.45

Sample size, n = 8

Using the binomial distribution formula :

P(x =x) = nCx * p^x * (1 - p)^(n - x)

A.) p(x = 5)

P(x =5) = 8C5 * 0.45^5 * 0.55^3

P(x = 5) = 56 * 0.0184528125 * 0.166375

P(x = 5) = 0.1719248540625

P(x = 5) = 0.172

B.) P(x > 5)

P(x > 5) = P(x = 6) + P(x = 7) + P(x = 8)

P(x > 5) = 0.0703 + 0.0164 + 0.0017

P(x > 5) = 0.0884

C.) P( ≤ 5) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x = 2) + P(x = 3) + P(x = 4) + P(x = 5)

Using the binomial probability calculator to obtain a direct solution :

P( ≤ 5) = 0.9115
