Comparing x-1 with x-a then x=1
1^3+p*1^2-1-2=0
1+2p-3=0
2p=3-1
P=2/2
P=1
:.p=1

Answer:

4(x+8)

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps

Then if you want to know the value of x.

This is the solution 4(x+8)

4x+32 to find the x divide both by side by 4.

4x/4+32/4

x=8

A random sample of 36 students at a community college showed an average age of 25 years. Assume the ages of all students at the

Pavel [41]

Answer:

98% confidence interval for the average age of all students is [24.302 , 25.698]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of 36 students at a community college showed an average age of 25 years.

Also, assuming that the ages of all students at the college are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1.8 years.

So, the pivotal quantity for 98% confidence interval for the average age is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = sample average age = 25 years

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = 1.8 years

n = sample of students = 36

$\mu$ = population average age

So, 98% confidence interval for the average age, $\mu$ is ;

P(-2.3263 < N(0,1) < 2.3263) = 0.98

P(-2.3263 < $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 2.3263) = 0.98

P( $-2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$ < ${\bar X - \mu}$ < $2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$ ) = 0.98

P( $\bar X - 2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X +2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$ ) = 0.98

98% confidence interval for $\mu$ = [ $\bar X - 2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$ , $\bar X +2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$ ]

= [ $25 - 2.3263 \times {\frac{1.8}{\sqrt{36} }$ , $25 + 2.3263 \times {\frac{1.8}{\sqrt{36} }$ ]

= [24.302 , 25.698]

Therefore, 98% confidence interval for the average age of all students at this college is [24.302 , 25.698].

Solve 9x−y=45 for y.

Taya2010 [7]

So to solve for y, we need to get y alone on one side of the equation. So we are going to subtract 9x from both sides of the equation to get:

$-y=-9x+45$

And since y is negative, we are going to divide both sides by -1 in order to make the y positive:

$y=9x-45$
