Answer: labor force participation rate  =60%

unemployment rate = 6.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

The labor force participation rate is computed as

\text{labor force participation rate}=\dfrac{\text{Total employed persons}}{\text{Total population}}

i.e. \text{labor force participation rate}= \dfrac{72000}{120000}

= 0.6\ or\ 60 \%

The unemployment rate is computed as:

\text{unemployment rate}=\dfrac{\text{Number of personsdon't have jobs }}{\text{Total population}}\\\\\text{unemployment rate}=\dfrac{8000}{120000}\\\\\text{unemployment rate}=0.0667\ or\ 6.67\%

Hence, labor force participation rate  =60%

unemployment rate = 6.67%

Given f(x) = 3x^3+ kx – 11, and x – 1 is a factor of f(x), then what is the value<br> of k?
STatiana [176]

let's recall the remainder theorem.

we know that (x-1) is a factor, that means x -1 = 0 or x = 1.

since we know that (x-1) is a factor, then dividing the polynomial by it will give us a remainder of 0, which correlates with saying that f(1) = 0, in this case, so we can simply plug in "1" as the argument, knowing it gives 0.

f(x)=3x^3+kx-11\\\\[-0.35em]~\dotfill\\\\\stackrel{0}{f(1)}=3(1)^3+k(1)-11\implies \stackrel{f(1)}{0}=3+k-11\implies 0=-8+k\implies 8=k
