If you know that -2 is a zero of f(x) = x^3 + 7x^2 + 4x - 12, explain how to solve the equation.
First you have to figure out what could make f(x) = 0 to get rid of the cube. I'm going to test the array of data, x = -2, x = -3, and x = -4 because this type of equation probably has more negative values given that if you plug in some values the cubed-values and squared-values will surpass the "-12". Plug this into a calculator.
x^3 + 7x^2 + 4x - 12
f(-2) = -8 + 28 - 8 - 12 = 0
So you know that when x = -2, f(x) = 0. Divide "(x + 2)" from the equation and you will get... x^2 + 5x - 6. Now this is a simple polynomial one that you can figure to be (x + 6) (x - 1) just by looking at it because -6 multiplied by 1 is negative 6 and you see 5 and know that 6 - 1 = 5.
The solution is (x + 6) (x - 1) (x + 2) meaning that when x = -6, 1, or -2, f(x) is 0.
Answer:
The discrimant of this equation is 144.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you have to move all the variables to one side to make the equation/expression into 0 by substracting 8x² to both sides :
9x² + 14x + 13 = 8x²
9x² + 14x + 13 - 8x² = 8x² - 8x²
x² + 14x + 13 = 0
It is given that the formula of discriminant is, D = b² - 4ac where a&b&c represent the number of the equation, ax²+bx+c = 0 :
x² + 14x + 13 = 0
D = b² - 4ac
= 14² - 4(1)(13)
= 196 - 52
= 144
Answer:
The margin of error for her confdence interval is of 0.3757.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 18 - 1 = 17
99% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 17 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 
. So we have T = 2.8982
The margin of error is:
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
Standard deviation of 0.55 meters.
This means that 
What is the margin of error for her 99% confidence interval?
The margin of error for her confdence interval is of 0.3757.
I think it's D. (sorry if i'm wrong)
