Answer:

(x-2)(x+3)(x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polynomial function p(x)=x^3+7x^2-36

We are to write it as a product of its linear factor

Assuming the value of x that will make the polynomial p(x) to be zero

Let x = 2

P(2) = 2³+7(2)²-36

P(2) = 8+7(4)-36

P(2) = 8+28-36

P(2) = 0

Since p(2) = 0 hence x-2 is one of the linear factors

Also assume x = -3

P(-3) = (-3)³+7(-3)²-36

P(-3) = -27+7(9)-36

P(-3) = -27+63-36

P(-3) = 36-36

P(-3) = 0

Since p(-3) = 0, hence x+3 is also a factor

The two linear pair are (x-2)(x+3)

(x-2)(x+3) = x²+3x-2x-6

(x-2)(x+3) = x²+x-6

To get the third linear function, we will divide x^3+7x^2-36 by x²+x-6 as shown in the attachment.

x^3+7x^2-36/x²+x-6 = x+6

Hence the third linear factor is x+6

x^3+7x^2-36 = (x-2)(x+3)(x+6)

Answer:

(0.4958, 0.7422)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the true proportion of water specimens that contain detectable levels of lead. The point estimate for p is $\hat{p}=26/42=0.6190$ . The estimated standard deviation is given by $\sqrt{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})/n}=\sqrt{(0.6190)(1-0.6190)/42}=0.0749$ . Because we have a large sample, the 90% confidence interval for p is given by $0.6190\pm z_{0.05}0.0749$ where $z_{0.05}=1.6448$ is the value that satisfies that above this and under the standard normal density there is an area of 0.05. So, the confidence interval is $0.6190\pm (1.6448)(0.0749)$ , i.e., (0.4958, 0.7422).
