The zeros of

y = x(x + 2)(x + 5)y=x(x+2)(x+5)

are

x=0,x=-2,x=-5x=0,x=−2,x=−5

EXPLANATION

The given function is

y = x(x + 2)(x + 5)y=x(x+2)(x+5)

To find the zeros of the above function, we just have to equate the function to zero and solve for x.

x(x + 2)(x + 5) = 0x(x+2)(x+5)=0

This implies that,

x = 0 \: \: or \: x + 2 = 0 \:or \: x + 5 = 0x=0orx+2=0orx+5=0

x = 0 \: \: or \: x = - 2\:or \: x = - 5x=0orx=−2orx=−5

To graph the above function, we need to consider the multiplicity.

We can see that the multiplicity of the roots are odd. This means that, the graph crosses the x-axis at each x-intercept.

We also need to consider the position of the graph on the following intervals,

x < - 5x<−5

When

x = - 10x=−10

y = - 10( - 8)( - 5) \: < \: 0y=−10(−8)(−5)<0

The graph is below the x-axis.

- 5 \: < \: x \: < \: - 2−5<x<−2

When

x = - 3x=−3

y = - 3(2)( - 1) \: > 0y=−3(2)(−1)>0

The graph is above the x-axis.

- 2 \: < \: x < \: 0−2<x<0

when

x = - 1x=−1

y = -1(1)(4) \: < \: 0y=−1(1)(4)<0

The graph is below the x-axis.

Finally the interval,

x \: > \: 0x>0

when

x = 1x=1

y = 1(3)(6) \: > \: 0y=1(3)(6)>0

The graph is above the x-axis.

We can now use the above information to sketch graph as shown in the diagram above

The Department of Transportation would like to test the hypothesis that the average age of cars on the road is less than 12 year
puteri [66]

Answer:

z=\frac{10.6-12}{\frac{4.1}{\sqrt{45}}}=-2.29  

Step-by-step explanation:

information given

\bar X=10.6 represent the sample mean  

\sigma=4.1 represent the population standard deviation

n=45 sample size  

\mu_o =12 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value for the test

Hypothesis to test

We want to test if the true mean is less than 12, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 10  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 10  

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

Replacing the info given we got:

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

z=\frac{10.6-12}{\frac{4.1}{\sqrt{45}}}=-2.29

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

£10,737,418.24

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Every day amount doubles:</u>

  • March 1st = 1p= 2^0 p
  • March 2nd = 2*1p = 2^1 p
  • March 3rd = 2*2p = 2^2 p
  • ...
  • March 31st = 2^30 p = 1,073,741,824 p = £10,737,418. 24
