Answer:

x = \frac{9}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{4x}{x+1} - \frac{5}{x} = \frac{4}{x^2+x} ← factor denominator

\frac{4x}{x+1} - \frac{5}{x} = \frac{4}{x(x+1)}

[ x ≠ 0, x ≠ - 1 as these would make the terms undefined ]

Multiply through by x(x + 1)

4x² - 5(x + 1) = 4

4x² - 5x - 4 = 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

4x² - 5x - 9 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 1)(4x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

4x - 9 = 0 ⇒ 4x = 9 ⇒ x = \frac{9}{4}

However, x ≠ - 1 for reason given above, then

solution is x = \frac{9}{4}

Suppose a university advertises that its average class size is 34 or less. A student organization is concerned that budget cuts
Korolek [52]

Answer:

H0​: μ ≤ 34

H1​: μ > 34

The​ z-test statistic is ≈ 1.8

The critical​ z-score is 1.28

we fail to reject the null hypothesis H0​: μ ≤ 34

Step-by-step explanation:

H0​: μ ≤ 34

H1​: μ > 34

The​ z-test statistic is calculated using the formula:

z=\frac{X-M}{s} where

  • X is the average class size found in the sample (35.6)
  • M is the mean according to the null hypothesis (34)
  • s is the standard deviation for class size (9)

then z= \frac{35.6-34}{9} ≈ 0.18

The critical​ z-score is 1.28 for α=0.10​ (one tailed)

Because the test statistic is less than the critical value, do not reject the null hypothesis.
