Answer:

Complex roots for polynomials equations will always come in conjugate pairs.  Since 1-2i is a root, 1+2i will also be a root.  (Just switch the sign of the imaginary part to its opposite.)

Step-by-step explanation:

So far we have 1-2i and 1+2i as roots.  We need two more to make a 4th degree polynomial.

x=1 with multiplicity of 2 means that we count the root twice when we write down the polynomial: (x - 1)(x - 1) = (x - 1)2

Putting it all together, we can construct our polynomial of degree 4 as

y = f(x) = (x - 1)(x - 1)[x - (1-2i)][x - (1+2i)]

Multiply the factors (FOIL):

[x - (1-2i)][x - (1+2i)] =

x2 - (1+2i)x - (1-2i)x + (1-2i)(1+2i) =

x2 - x - 2ix - x + 2ix + (1 + 2i - 2i + 4) =

x2 - 2x + 5

(x - 1)(x - 1) = x2 - x - x + 1 = x2 - 2x + 1

Now multiply the two underlined expressions:

y = (x2 - 2x + 5)(x2 - 2x + 1)

= x4 - 2x3 + 5x2 - 2x3 + 4x2 - 10x + x2 - 2x + 5  by multiplying term by term

= x4 - 4x3 + 10x2 -12x + 5 by collecting like terms.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

H_0 : \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0

H_a : \mu_1 - \mu_2 \ne 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the salted package be represented with 1 and the unsalted, 2.

So:

\mu_1: Mean of salted package

\mu_2: Mean of unsalted package

Considering the given options, the null hypothesis is that which contains =.

So, the null hypothesis is:

H_0 : \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0

The opposite of = is \ne. So, the alternate hypothesis, is that which contains \ne

So, the alternate hypothesis is:

H_a : \mu_1 - \mu_2 \ne 0
