Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

The expression is equivalent, but the   term is not completely factored.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  a student factors  to

We have to choose the correct statement  about   from the given options.

Given   is factored to

Consider    

Using algebraic identity,

comparing  and b = 4, we have,

Thus, the factorization is equivalent but we can simplify it further also, as

Using algebraic identity,

Thus,

Can be written as

Thus, the expression is equivalent, but the   term is not completely factored.

Option (b) is correct.

Simplify the trigonometric expression. Is this the correct answer?
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

\boxed{\tan \theta}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{\tan \theta }{\sin^{2} \theta + \cos^{2} \theta}

Use the trigonometric identity

\sin^{2}\theta + \cos^{2}\theta = 1

Then,

\dfrac{\tan \theta }{\sin^{2} \theta + \cos^{2} \theta} = \dfrac{\tan \theta }{1} = \boxed{\tan \theta}

Hi there!

Since the triangle is equilateral, all of its sides are congruent. This means that to solve, we can set the two given equations equal to each other.

2(x - 8) = 1/2x + 8
2x - 16 = 1/2x + 8
1.5x - 16 = 8
1.5x = 24
x = 16

Now that we know what x is, we can plug that in for x in the equation for ZY.

2(16 - 8) = ZY
ZY = 2(8)
ZY = 16 units

And here is the work to show that XZ is also 16.

1/2(16) + 8 = XZ
XZ = 8 + 8
XZ = 16

Hope this helps!! :)

A quality-conscious disk manufacturer wishes to know the fraction of disks his company makes which are defective. Step 2 of 2 :
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

0.0497 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.0497(1-0.0497)}{322}}=0.026

0.0497 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.0497(1-0.0497)}{322}}=0.073

The 90% confidence interval would be given by (0.026;0.073)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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

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

Solution to the problem

The estimated proportion for this case is:

\hat p =\frac{322-306}{322}= 0.0497

Represent the proportion of defectives for this case

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 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.90=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.64, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.64

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

If we replace the values obtained we got:

0.0497 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.0497(1-0.0497)}{322}}=0.026

0.0497 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.0497(1-0.0497)}{322}}=0.073

The 90% confidence interval would be given by (0.026;0.073)
