Answer: The z-score for an ACT score of 26 is 0.17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean  and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In a particular year, the mean score on the ACT test was 25 and the standard deviation was 5.9.

This means that  

Find the z-score for an ACT score of 26.

This is Z when X = 26. So

The z-score for an ACT score of 26 is 0.17.

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

1. P(x) ÷ Q(x)---> \frac{-3x + 2}{3(3x - 1)}

2. P(x) + Q(x)---> \frac{2(6x - 1)}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}

3.  P(x) - Q(x)---> \frac{-2(12x - 5)}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}

4. P(x)*Q(x) --> \frac{12}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

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

Q(x) = \frac{6}{-3x + 2}

Thus,

P(x) ÷ Q(x) = \frac{2}{3x - 1} ÷ \frac{6}{-3x + 2}

Flip the 2nd function, Q(x), upside down to change the process to multiplication.

\frac{2}{3x - 1}*\frac{-3x + 2}{6}

\frac{2(-3x + 2)}{6(3x - 1)}

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

2. P(x) + Q(x) = \frac{2}{3x - 1} + \frac{6}{-3x + 2}

Make both expressions as a single fraction by finding, the common denominator, divide the common denominator by each denominator, and then multiply by the numerator. You'd have the following below:

\frac{2(-3x + 2) + 6(3x - 1)}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}

\frac{-6x + 4 + 18x - 6}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}

\frac{-6x + 18x + 4 - 6}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}

\frac{12x - 2}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}

= \frac{2(6x - 1}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}

3. P(x) - Q(x) = \frac{2}{3x - 1} - \frac{6}{-3x + 2}

\frac{2(-3x + 2) - 6(3x - 1)}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}

\frac{-6x + 4 - 18x + 6}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}

\frac{-6x - 18x + 4 + 6}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}

\frac{-24x + 10}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}

= \frac{-2(12x - 5}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}

4. P(x)*Q(x) = \frac{2}{3x - 1}* \frac{6}{-3x + 2}

P(x)*Q(x) = \frac{2*6}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}

P(x)*Q(x) = \frac{12}{(3x - 1)(-3x + 2)}

Is the work shown below correct? Explain your answer.
riadik2000 [5.3K]
(11 + 21) - ( 3 - 100 )
= 32 + 97
= 129

or (11+21)-(3+100)
= 32 - 103
= - 71


I have no idea about your topic but hope it's right! Good luck

Consider the polynomial p(x) = x^3 + 4x^2 + 6x − 36.
Nady [450]

Answer:

a. attached graph; zero real: 2

b. p(x) = (x - 2)(x + 3 + 3i)(x + 3 - 3i)

c. the solutions are 2, -3-3i and -3+3i

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = x³ + 4x² + 6x - 36

a. Through the graph, we can see that 2 is a real zero of the polynomial p. We can also use the Rational Roots Test.

p(2) = 2³ + 4.2² + 6.2 - 36 = 8 + 16 + 12 - 36 = 0

b. Now, we can use Briott-Ruffini to find the other roots and write p as a product of linear factors.

2 |  1     4     6    -36

     1      6    18     0

x² + 6x + 18 = 0

Δ = 6² - 4.1.18 = 36 - 72 = -36 = 36i²

√Δ = 6i

x = -6±6i/2 = 2(-3±3i)/2

x' = -3-3i

x" = -3+3i

p(x) = (x - 2)(x + 3 + 3i)(x + 3 - 3i)

c. the solutions are 2, -3-3i and -3+3i
