Answer:

0.08065

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a recent study,1 2006 randomly selected US adults (age 18 or older) were asked to give the number of people in the last six months with whom you discussed matters that are important to you.

If X is random variable then X has mean 2.2 and s = 1.4

n=2006

Std error of mean =\frac{1.4}{\sqrt{2006} } \\=0.03126

For 99% since sample size is large, t and z distn almost coincide.

Hence we can take 2.58 as critical value

Margin of error at 99% =2.58*0.03126\\=0.08065

John has a job parking cars. He earns a fixed weekly salary of $300 plus a fee of $5 for each car he parks. At what point does J
horrorfan [7]
Let us assume the number of cars parked after which John will start earning more than his fixed weekly salary = x
The fixed weekly salary of John = $300
The fee that John gets for parking each car = $5
Then we can get the equation as
5x = 300
x = 300/5
   = 60
So from the above deduction we can see that John will earn the equal amount of his weekly pay after he parks 60 cars. Then it becomes obvious that parking car number 61, John will start earning more than what he gets as his fixed weekly salary. I hope you have understood the described method.

Does anyone know how to do this?? Help please!!!!

Answer:

When we have a rational function like:

r(x) = \frac{x + 1}{x^2 + 3}

The domain will be the set of all real numbers, such that the denominator is different than zero.

So the first step is to find the values of x such that the denominator (x^2 + 3) is equal to zero.

Then we need to solve:

x^2 + 3 = 0

x^2 = -3

x = √(-3)

This is the square root of a negative number, then this is a complex number.

This means that there is no real number such that x^2 + 3 is equal to zero, then if x can only be a real number, we will never have the denominator equal to zero, so the domain will be the set of all real numbers.

D: x ∈ R.

b) we want to find two different numbers x such that:

r(x) = 1/4

Then we need to solve:

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{x + 1}{x^2 + 3}

We can multiply both sides by (x^2 + 3)

\frac{1}{4}*(x^2 + 3) = \frac{x + 1}{x^2 + 3}*(x^2 + 3)

\frac{x^2 + 3}{4} = x + 1

Now we can multiply both sides by 4:

\frac{x^2 + 3}{4}*4 = (x + 1)*4

x^2 + 3 = 4*x + 4

Now we only need to solve the quadratic equation:

x^2 + 3 - 4*x - 4 = 0

x^2 - 4*x - 1 = 0

We can use the Bhaskara's formula to solve this, remember that for an equation like:

a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

the solutions are:

x = \frac{-b +- \sqrt{b^2 - 4*a*c} }{2*a}

here we have:

a = 1

b = -4

c = -1

Then in this case the solutions are:

x = \frac{-(-4) +- \sqrt{(-4)^2 - 4*1*(-1)} }{2*(1)} = \frac{4 +- 4.47}{2}

x = (4 + 4.47)/2 = 4.235

x = (4 - 4.47)/2 = -0.235

What is the product of the complex numbers 3 - 4iand 6+i where i= -1
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

Since i=-1, we can rewrite the equation as 3-[4(-1)} multiplied by 6+(-1). Since

4 x-1=, 3-(-4)=7. 6-1=5, and 7x5=35.
