Answer:

a = -86.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Factor Theorem, if x + 4 is a factor then P(-4) = 0, so:

P(-4) = 2(-4)^3 - 11(-4)^2 + a(-4)- 40 = 0

-128 - 176 - 4a - 40 = 0

-4a = 128 +176 + 40

-4a = 344

a = -86.

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

a) $160,000

b) $55,000

c) $332264.804

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that there are 10 employees in a particular division of a company and their salaries have a mean of $70,000, a median of $55,000, and a standard deviation of $20,000.

And also the largest number on the list is $100,000 but By accident, this number is changed to $1,000,000.

a) Value of mean after the change in value is given by;

     Original Mean = $70,000

       \frac{\sum X}{n} = $70,000  ⇒ \sum X = 70,000 * 10 = $700,000

   New \sum X after change = $700,000 - $100,000 + $1,000,000 = $1600000

  Therefore, New mean = \frac{1600000}{10} = $160,000 .

b) Median will not get affected as median is the middle most value in the data set and since $1,000,000 is considered to be an outlier so median remain unchanged at $55,000 .

c) Original Variance = 20000^{2} i.e.  20000^{2} = \frac{\sum x^{2} - n*xbar }{n -1}

    Original \sum x^{2} = (20000^{2} * (10-1)) + (10 * 70,000) = $3,600,700,000

    New \sum x^{2} = $3,600,700,000 - 100,000^{2} + 1,000,000^{2} = 9.936007 * 10^{11}  

    New Variance = \frac{new\sum x^{2} - n*new xbar }{n -1} = \frac{9.936007 *10^{11}  - 10*160000 }{10 -1} = 1.103999 * 10^{11}    Therefore, standard deviation after change = \sqrt{1.103999 * 10^{11} } = $332264.804 .

What is the difference between explicit and recursive sequences ?
Anna71 [15]
An explicit formula for a sequence allows you to find the value of any term in the sequence. A recursive formula for a sequence allows you to find the value of the nth term in the sequence if you know the value of the (n-1)th term in the sequence.

Three times the sum of a number and 21 is at most -26
Anna007 [38]
It would be: 3(x + 21) ≤ -26
3x + 21 ≤ -26
3x ≤ -47
x < -47/3

In short, Your Answer would be -47/3 or 15.67

Hope this helps!
