Explain why f(x) = x^2+4x+3/x^2-x-2 is not continuous at x = -1.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

The value of x = -1 makes the denominator of the function equal to zero. That is why this value is not included in the domain of f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression

$f(x) = \frac{x^2+4x+3}{x^2-x-2}$

Since the division between zero is not defined then the function f(x) can not include the values of x that make the denominator of the function zero.

Now we search that values of x make 0 the denominator factoring the polynomial $x^2-x-2$

We need two numbers that when adding them get as a result -1 and when multiplying those numbers, obtain -2 as a result.

These numbers are -2 and 1

Then the factors are:

$(x-2) (x + 1)$

We do the same with the numerator

$x^2+4x+3$

We need two numbers that when adding them get as a result 4 and when multiplying those numbers, obtain 3 as a result.

These numbers are 3 and 1

Then the factors are:

$(x+3)(x + 1)$

Therefore

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

Note that $\frac{(x+1)}{(x+1)}=1$ only if $x \neq -1$

So since $x = -1$ is not included in the domain the function has a discontinuity in $x = -1$

(a) A newspaper conducted a statewide survey concerning the 1998 race for state senator. The newspaper took a SRS of 1200 regist

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

n=9604

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

$X=620$ number of people that would vote for the Republican candidate

$n=1200$ random sample taken

$\hat p=\frac{620}{1200}=0.517$ estimated proportion of people that would vote for the Republican candidate

$p$ true population proportion of people that would vote for the Republican candidate

Me= 0.01 represent th margin of error.

Confidence =0.95 or 95%

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1- p)}{n}})$

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical value would be given by:
