Answer:

(x-1) ( x -i) (x+i)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 -2x^2 +x-2

Factor by grouping

x^3 -2x^2      +x-2

x^2(x-2)      +1(x-2)

Factor out (x-2)

(x-2) (x^2+1)

Rewriting

(x-1) ( x^2 - (-1)^2)

(x-1) ( x -i) (x+i)

Answer:

Should be b

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's a multiple choice question you know that -2 or 2 has to be a root for the cubic.

You can test both -2 and 2 and see that replacing x for 2 has the expression evaluate to 0.

Then, since you know the imaginary roots have to be conjugates, you get B.

Answer:

196x^2y

Step-by-step explanation: The least common multiple (LCM) of two or more non-zero whole numbers is the smallest whole number that is divisible by each of those numbers. In other words, the LCM is the smallest number that all of the numbers divide into evenly.

Answer:

x^2 - 10x

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 - 4x - x^2 +6x

You subtract x^2 from 2x^2 and you get x^2

Then you add 6x and 4x together and get 10x

So then you have x^2 - 10x

(plus I took the test and this was the correct answer.)

Answer:

-0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/5) : (-5/7)=(1*5)/(5*(-5))=-(7/25)=-0.28

Answer:

[tex]-7/25[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]1/5 \div -5/7[/tex]

Do the reciprocal of the second fraction.

[tex]1/5 \times 7/-5[/tex]

Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

[tex]7/-25=-0.28[/tex]

The answer in decimal form is -0.28.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

The reciprocal of the number will be 1/x

If the sum of the number and its reciprocal is 41/20, this can be represented as;

[tex]x+\frac{1}{x} = 41/20\\\frac{x^{2}+1}{x} = \frac{41}{20} \\20x^{2} +20 = 41x\\20x^{2} -41x+20 = 0\\[/tex]

Uisng the general formula to get x

x = -b±√b²+4ac/2a

x = 41±√41²-4(20)(20)/2(20)

x = 41±√1681-1600/40

x = 41±√81/40

x = 41±9/40

x = 50/40 or 32/40

x = 5/4 or 4/5

if the value is 5/4, the other value will be 4/5

The numbers are 5/4 and 4/5

The smaller value is 4/5

The larger value is 5/4

Answer:

a=5/4 or 4/5

Therefore, the smaller value = 4/5

The larger value = 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be represented by a

And it's reciprocal be represented by 1/a

So we have

a + 1/a = 41/20

Cross Multiply

20( a +1/a) = 41

20a +20/a =41

Find the LCM which is a

20a² + 20 = 41a

20a² + 20 - 41a =0

20a² - 41a +20 = 0

20a²-25a - 16a + 20 =0

5a(4a - 5) -4( 4a - 5) = 0

(5a - 4)(4a - 5) = 0

5a - 4 = 0

5a = 4

a = 4/5

or

4a - 5 = 0

4a =5

a = 5/4

Therefore, the number which is represented by a is

1) a = 4/5 while it's reciprocal which is 1/a is 5/4

or

2) a = 5/4 which it's reciprocal which is 1/a = 4/5

Therefore, the smaller value = 4/5

The larger value = 5/4

Answer:

The polynomial is [tex]x^{3} - 1.46x^{2} - 3.93x + 6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A nth order polynomial f(x) has roots [tex]x_{1}, x_{2}, ..., x_{n}[/tex] such that [tex]f(x) = (x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})*...*(x - x_{n}}[/tex],

Which of the following is a polynomial with roots: − square root of 3 , square root of 3, and −2?

So

[tex]x_{1} = x_{2} = \sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]x_{3} = -2[/tex]

Then

[tex](x - \sqrt{3})^{2}*(x - (-2)) = (x - \sqrt{3})^{2}*(x + 2) = (x^{2} -2x\sqrt{3} + 3)*(x + 2) = x^{3} + 2x^{2} - 2x^{2}\sqrt{3} - 4x\sqrt{3} + 3x + 6[/tex]

Since [tex]\sqrt{3} = 1.73[/tex]

[tex]x^{3} + 2x^{2} - 3.46x^{2} - 6.93x + 3x + 6 = x^{3} - 1.46x^{2} - 3.93x + 6[/tex]

The polynomial is [tex]x^{3} - 1.46x^{2} - 3.93x + 6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two columns in the diagram.

The column headed stem represents tens while the column headed leaf represents units. e.g. 2 3 = 23

So we just have to count how many of the numbers are less than 8 in the 6th Stem column and all the numbers below it, which are:

20, 23, 28, 31, 31, 34, 38, 40, 44, 50, 51, 53, 54, 65, 65, 66

Answer:

1 : 500,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale of a map scale refers to the relationship (or ratio) between the distance on a map and the corresponding distance on the ground.

In the given map:

1 mm​(map) = 500 m ​(actual)

1 meter = 1000 millimeter

Therefore:

500 meters = 1000 X 500 =500,000 millimeter

Therefore, the scale ratio of the map is:

1:500,000

Answer:

[tex] = \frac{3}{2} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]y = mx + c[/tex]

Here,

In this equation ,

[tex]2y - 3x = 8[/tex]

to find the value of m or the value of slope we have to solve for y

Let's solve,

[tex]2y - 3x = 8 \\ 2y = 8 + 3x \\ \frac{2y}{2} = \frac{8 + 3x}{2} \\ y = 4 + \frac{3x}{2} \\ y = \frac{3x}{2} + 4[/tex]

So, the slope is,

[tex] = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Answer:

x2 = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

If the variables x and y are inversely proportional, the product x * y is a constant.

So using x1 and y1 we can find the value of this constant:

[tex]x1 * y1 = k[/tex]

[tex]12 * 15 = k[/tex]

[tex]k = 180[/tex]

Now, we can use the same constant to find x2:

[tex]x2 * y2 = k[/tex]

[tex]x2 * 3 = 180[/tex]

[tex]x2 = 180 / 3 = 60[/tex]

So the value of x2 is 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

0.989

Step-by-step explanation:

For each graduate, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they find a job in their chosen field within a year after graduation, or they do not. The probability of a graduate finding a job is independent of other graduates. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

A study conducted at a certain college shows that "53%" of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year after graduation.

This means that [tex]p = 0.53[/tex]

6 randomly selected graduates

This means that [tex]n = 6[/tex]

Probability that at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating:

Either none find a job, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these outcomes is 1. So

[tex]P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1[/tex]

We want [tex]P(X \geq 1)[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.53)^{0}.(0.47)^{6} = 0.011[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.011 = 0.989[/tex]

Answer: the probability that the tires will fail within three years of the date of purchase is 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

The average lifetime of a set of tires is 3.4 years. It means that μ = 3.4

Decay parameter, m = 1/3.4 = 0.294

The probability density function is

f(x) = me^-mx

Where x is a continuous random variable representing the time interval of interest(the reliability period that we are testing)

Since x = 3 years,

Therefore, the probability that the tires will fail within three years of the date of purchase is

f(3) = 0.294e^-(0.294 × 3)

f(3) = 0.294e^- 0.882

f(3) = 0.12

Answer:

The probability that the sample mean is less than 50 points = 0.002    

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given mean of the normal distribution = 56 points

Given standard deviation of the normal distribution = 12 points

Random sample size 'n' = 36 games

Step(ii):-

Let x⁻ be the random variable of normal distribution

Let x⁻ = 50

[tex]Z = \frac{x^{-}-mean }{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{50-56 }{\frac{12}{\sqrt{36} } }= -3[/tex]

The probability that the sample mean is less than 50 points

P( x⁻≤ 50) = P( Z≤-3)

                = 0.5 - P(-3 <z<0)

               = 0.5 -P(0<z<3)

               =  0.5 - 0.498

               = 0.002

Final answer:-

The probability that the sample mean is less than 50 points = 0.002

Answer:

56

2

.001

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem for Means states that the mean of any sampling distribution of the means is equal to the mean of the population distribution. The standard deviation is equal to the standard deviation of the population divided by the square root of the sample size. So, the mean of this sampling distribution of the means with sample size 36 is 56 points and the standard deviation is 1236√=2 points. The z-score for 50 using the formula z=x¯¯¯−μσ is −3.

z 0.00 0.01 0.02 0.03 0.04 0.05 0.06 0.07 0.08 0.09

-3.0 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001

-2.9 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.001 0.001 0.001

-2.8 0.003 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002

-2.7 0.003 0.003 0.003 0.003 0.003 0.003 0.003 0.003 0.003 0.003

-2.6 0.005 0.005 0.004 0.004 0.004 0.004 0.004 0.004 0.004 0.004

-2.5 0.006 0.006 0.006 0.006 0.006 0.005 0.005 0.005 0.005 0.005

Using the Standard Normal Table, the area to the left of −3 is approximately 0.001. Therefore, the probability that the sample mean will be less than 50 points is approximately 0.001.

Question:

An insurance company examines its pool of auto insurance customers and gathers the following information: (i) All customers insure at least one car. (ii) 70% of the customers insure more than one car. (iii) 20% of the customers insure a sports car. (iv) Of those customers who insure more than one car, 15% insure a sports car. Calculate the probability that a randomly selected customer insures exactly one car, and that car is not a sports car?

Answer:

P( X' ∩ Y' ) = 0.205

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X is the event that the customer insures more than one car.

Let X' is the event that the customer insures exactly one car.

Let Y is the event that customer insures a sport car.

Let Y' is the event that customer insures not a sport car.

From the given information we have

70% of customers insure more than one car.

P(X) = 0.70

20% of customers insure a sports car.

P(Y) = 0.20

Of those customers who insure more than one car, 15% insure a sports car.

P(Y | X) = 0.15

We want to find out the probability that a randomly selected customer insures exactly one car, and that car is not a sports car.

P( X' ∩ Y' ) = ?

Which can be found by

P( X' ∩ Y' ) = 1 - P( X ∪ Y )

From the rules of probability we know that,

P( X ∪ Y ) = P(X) + P(Y) - P( X ∩ Y )    (Additive Law)

First, we have to find out P( X ∩ Y )

From the rules of probability we know that,

P( X ∩ Y ) = P(Y | X) × P(X)       (Multiplicative law)

P( X ∩ Y ) = 0.15 × 0.70

P( X ∩ Y ) = 0.105

So,

P( X ∪ Y ) = P(X) + P(Y) - P( X ∩ Y )

P( X ∪ Y ) = 0.70 + 0.20 - 0.105

P( X ∪ Y ) = 0.795

Finally,

P( X' ∩ Y' ) = 1 - P( X ∪ Y )

P( X' ∩ Y' ) = 1 - 0.795

P( X' ∩ Y' ) = 0.205

Therefore, there is 0.205 probability that a randomly selected customer insures exactly one car, and that car is not a sports car.

Answer:

Hii its Nat here to help! :)

Step-by-step explanation: A is 11 and b is 11.

C is Equal

Screenshot included.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The data should be analyzed using paired samples because the economist made two measurements (samples) drawn from the same pair of identical cards. Each data point in one sample is uniquely paired to a data point in the second sample.

b. A pair is made up of two identical cards where one would go into Dutch auction and the other to the first-price sealed bid auction.

c. The explanatory variables are the types of online auction which are the Dutch auction and the first price sealed bid auction. The explanation variable here is categorical: the Dutch auction and the first price sealed bid auction.

d. The response variable which is also known as the outcome variable is prices for the 2 different auction for each pair of identical cards. This variable is quantitative.

e. Null Hypothesis in words: There is no difference in the prices obtained in the two different online auction.

Alternative hypothesis: There is a difference in the prices obtained in the two different online auction.

f. The parameter of interest in this case is the mean prices of pairs of identical cards for both auction and is assigned p.

g. Null hypothesis: p(dutch) = p(first-price sealed auction)

Alternative hypothesis: p(dutch) =/ p(first-price sealed auction)

h. Assuming the p-value is 0.17 at an assed standard 0.05 significance level, our conclusion would be to fail to reject the null hypothesis as 0.17 is greater than 0.05 or even 0.01 and we can conclude that, there is no statistically significant evidence to prove that there is a difference in the prices obtained in the two different online auction.
