The volume of a rectangular prism is b3 + 8b2 + 19b + 12 cubic units, and its height is b + 3 units. The area of the base of the

omeli [17]

Given:

The volume of the rectangular prism is

$b^{3}+8 b^{2} +19b+12$ ,

the height is h=(b+3)

1. The volume of a rectangular prism is (base area)*height

also, notice that the volume is a third degree polynomial, the height is a 1st degree polynomial, so the base area must be a 2nd degree polynomial, whose coefficients we don't know yet.
Let this quadratic polynomial be $(mb^{2}+nb+k)$

2

$b^{3}+8 b^{2} +19b+12=(mb^{2}+nb+k)*(b+3)$

notice that $b^{3}$ is the product of the largest 2 terms: $mb^{2}$ and b, so m must be 1

also, notice that 12 is the product of the constants, k and 3

so k*3=12, this means k=4

3
we write the above equality again:

$b^{3}+8 b^{2} +19b+12=(b^{2}+nb+4)*(b+3)$

$(b^{2}+nb+4)(b+3)= b^{3}+3 b^{2} +nb^{2}+3nb+4b+12$

= $= b^{3}+(n+3)b^{2}+(3n+4)b+12$

4
now compare the coefficient with the left side:

$8 b^{2}=(n+3)b^{2}$

8=n+3

n=5

substituting n=5:

the base area is $b^{2}+5b+4$

Answer: $b^{2}+5b+4$

Please help! Find the approximate location of the decimal form of 2/3 on the number line below

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer would be C because 2/3 as a decimal is 0.6666 and it goes on forever. D is at 0.75 which is too big and a and b are less than 0.5, so C is the correct answer.

The proof that AMNS AQNS is shown.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The answer is "MS and QS".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ΔMNQ is isosceles with base MQ, and NR and MQ bisect each other at S. we have to prove that ΔMNS ≅ ΔQNS.

As NR and MQ bisect each other at S

⇒ segments MS and SQ are therefore congruent by the definition of bisector i.e MS=SQ

In ΔMNS and ΔQNS

MN=QN (∵ MNQ is isosceles triangle)

∠NMS=∠NQS (∵ MNQ is isosceles triangle)

MS=SQ (Given)

By SAS rule, ΔMNS ≅ ΔQNS.

Hence, segments MS and SQ are therefore congruent by the definition of bisector.

The correct option is MS and QS

A television network is deciding whether or not to give its newest television show a spot during prime viewing time at night. If

musickatia [10]

Answer:

a. The test statistic for this hypothesis would be z=1.71

b. Critical value at α = 0.10: z=1.282

c. Reject H0, the television network should not keep its current lineup.

d. H0: p ≤ 0.50; HA: p > 0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to performa an hypothesis test on a proportion.

The claim is that the proportion of viewers that prefer the new show is bigger than 50% (meaning that most viewers prefer the new show).

The null hypothesis will state that both shows have the same proportion.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \pi\leq0.50\\\\H_a: \pi>0.5$

The sample proportion is p=0.53

$p=X/n=438/827=0.53$

The standard error of the proportion is:

$\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.5*0.5}{827}}= 0.017$

Then, the z-statistic can be calculated as:

$z=\dfrac{p-\pi-0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.53-0.50-0.5/827}{0.017}=\dfrac{ 0.029 }{0.017} =1.706$

The critical value for a right tailed test at a significance level of 0.10 is zc=1.282. This value can be looked up in a standard normal distribution table.

As the statistic is bigger than the critical value, it lies in the rejection region. The null hypothesis is rejected. There is evidence to support the claim that the proportion of viewers which support the new show is larger than 0.50.
