Polynomial Function R Is The Difference Of Two Degree-2 Polynomial Functions P And Q. What Are The Possible

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. The possible degrees are 0, 1, and 2 because it cannot be higher than the degree of either P or Q but it can be less depending on which terms cancel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible degrees are 0, 1, and 2. Let's explain why by assuming the following is given:

P = 6x² - 3x - 2

Q = 3x² + 2x - 6

Let R = P - Q

Thus:

(6x² - 3x - 2) - (3x² + 2x - 6)

Open parentheses by distributing the factor of -1

6x² - 3x - 2 - 3x² - 2x + 6

Add like terms together

6x² - 3x² - 3x - 2x - 2 + 6

R = 3x² - 5x + 4

The leading term of R has a degree of 2. Therefore, the difference of two degree-2 polynomial functions P and Q can give us a a polynomial function of R with a degree of 2.

Also, let us assume the following:

P = 4x² + 4x - 3

Q = 4x² + x - 8

Let R = P - Q

R = (4x² + 4x - 3) - (4x² + x - 8)

R = 4x² + 4x - 3 - 4x² - x + 8

Collect like terms

R = 4x² - 4x² + 4x - x - 3 + 8

R = 4x + 5 (4x² cancels 4x²)

The leading term of R has a degree of 1. Therefore, the difference of two degree-2 polynomial functions P and Q can give us a a polynomial function of R with a degree of 1.

Also, let us assume the following:

P = x² + 2x - 3

Q = x² + 2x - 8

Let R = P - Q

R = (x² + 2x - 3) - (x² + 2x - 8)

R = x² + 2x - 3 - x² - 2x + 8

Collect like terms

R = x² - x² + 2x - 2x - 3 + 8

R = 5 (x² cancels x², and 2x cancels 2x)

The polynomial R has a degree of 0. Therefore, the difference of two degree-2 polynomial functions P and Q can give us a a polynomial function of R with a degree of 0.

Therefore we can conclude that:

D. The possible degrees are 0, 1, and 2 because it cannot be higher than the degree of either P or Q but it can be less depending on which terms cancel.

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

114, 261, 319, 183,654,313,58,98,335,324,52,125,342,66,321,893,690,798,201,74,632,216,76,155,161,304,530,1110,93,631,75,344,264,1120,122,45,304,192,316,63

USING CALCULATOR :

The mean(m) of the data: = ΣX/n

n = sample size = 40

m = 12974/40

m = 324.4

Median = ((n + 1)/2) th term = 41/2 = (20 + 21)th term / 2

= (261 + 264) / 2 = 262.5

Standard deviation (s) = sqrt(Σ(x - m)²/n))

s = 281. 74

B.) Coefficient of skewness (Ks) :

3(mean - median) / standard deviation

3(324.4 - 262.5) / 281.74

= 0.66

Mild positive skewness Given a positive skew Coefficient value.

(d-1) Are there any outliers?

Yes

Four outliers

(d-2) What are the limits for outliers? (Round your answers to 1 decimal place. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Lower bound = Q1 - (1.5 * IQR)

Upper bound = Q3 + (1.5 * IQR)

IQR = Q3 - Q1

Q3 = upper quartile = 343 ; Q1 = 106 ; Q2 = 262.5

IQR = 343 - 106 = 237

Lower bound = 106 - (1.5 * 237) = - 249.5

Upper bound = 343 + (1.5 * 237) = 698.5

g The average lifespan for a certain type of vehicle is 8 years and follows an exponential distribution. A lot contains 200 of these vehicles, brand new. What is the probability that 50 or more of them fail in the first 2 years

Answers

Answer:

The probability is [tex]P(A \ge 50 ) = 0.14321[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The average life span is  [tex]\pi = 8[/tex]

The sample size is n =  200

Generally we are told that average lifespan for a certain type of vehicle follows an exponential distribution

i.e  

             [tex]X \~ \ \ \ exp(8)[/tex]

Gnerally the probability distribution function for exponential distribution is

       [tex]f(x) = \left \{ {{\lambda * e^{-\lambda * x }\ \ \ x\ge 0 } \atop {0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x < 0}} \right.[/tex]

Now [tex]\lambda[/tex] is the  constant which is evaluated as

      [tex]\lambda = \frac{1}{\pi}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\lambda = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\lambda = 0.125[/tex]

Generally the that the vehicles will fail in less than 2 years is  mathematically represented as

         [tex]P(X \le 2 )= p= \int\limits^2_0 {\lambda e^{- \lambda * x} } \, dx[/tex]

        [tex]P(X \le 2 )= p= [ {0.125 * - \frac{1}{0.125 } e^{- 0.125 * x} } ]|\left 2 } \atop {0}} \right.[/tex]

       [tex]P(X \le 2 )= p= [ {0.125 * - \frac{1}{0.125 } e^{- 0.125 * 2} } ] - [ {0.125 * - \frac{1}{0.125 } e^{- 0.125 * 0} } ][/tex]

     [tex]P(X \le 2 )= p= -0.77880 + 1[/tex]

     [tex]P(X \le 2 )= p= 0.2212[/tex]

Generally the probability that the vehicle will fail in the first 2 years follows a binomial  distribution  with the mean evaluated as

         [tex]\mu = n * p[/tex]

=>      [tex]\mu = 200 * 0.2212[/tex]

=>      [tex]\mu = 44.24[/tex]

The standard deviation is

       [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{np(1 - p)}[/tex]    

      [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{200 * 0.2212 (1 - 0.2212)}[/tex]  

      [tex]\sigma = 5.86[/tex]

Using normal approximation of binomial  distribution the  probability that 50 or more of them fail in the first 2 years is mathematically represented as

   [tex]P(A \ge 50 ) = 1 - P(A < 50 )[/tex]

Applying continuity correction

    [tex]P(A \ge 50.5 ) = 1 - P(A < 50.5 )[/tex]

Here

    [tex]P(A < 50.5 ) = P(\frac{A - \mu }{\sigma} < \frac{50 - 44.24}{5.87} )[/tex]

Generally  

       [tex]\frac{A - \mu }{\sigma} = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of A )[/tex]

=> [tex]P(A < 50.5 ) = P( Z < 1.0664 )[/tex]

From the z-table the probability value  of  ( Z  <  1.0664   ) is  

     [tex]P( Z < 1.0664 ) = 0.85679[/tex]

So  

   [tex]P(A \ge 50 ) = 1 - 0.85679[/tex]

=> [tex]P(A \ge 50 ) = 0.14321[/tex]

Can anyone help me solve for x and y

Answers

x = 24, y = 120

if you disagree tell me, I just substituted values.

Step-by-step explanation:

10. (6x - 7)° + (3x - 29)° = 180°

i.e they are co-interior angles:

6x + 3x - 7 - 29 = 180°

9x - 36° = 180°

9x = 216°

x = 24.

(6x - 7)° = (8y + 17)°

i.e they are vertically opposite angles;

but x = 24.

6(24) - 7 = 8y + 17

144 - 7 = 8y + 17

120 = 8y

y = 15

11. (9x + 25)° = (13x - 19)°

i.e they are corresponding angles;

25 + 19 = 13x - 9x

44 = 4x

x = 11

(13x - 19)° + (17y + 5)° = 180°

i.e they are adjacent angles;

but x = 11

13(11) - 19 +5 + 17y = 180

17y = 180 - 129

17y = 51

y = 3

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form? the line perpendicular to y = x + 2 through (-7, -8)​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=-x-15[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope formula: [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex], where [tex](x_1, \ y_1)[/tex] are the coordinates of a point on the line, and [tex]m[/tex] is the slope of the line.

You are given a point that the line you are trying to find passes through, and a slope. The slope is less obvious than the point, but you can find the slope using the given information.

The line perpendicular to y = x + 2 will have the opposite reciprocal slope of this line. The slope of y = x + 2 is 1, so the opposite reciprocal of 1 is:

[tex]m=-\frac{1}{1} =-1[/tex]

Now that you have both a point and the slope of the line you are trying to find, you can substitute these values into the point-slope formula (Notice: the name of this formula contains both "point" and "slope").

Substitute [tex](-7, \ -8)[/tex] for [tex](x_1,\ y_1)[/tex] and [tex]m=-1[/tex] into the point-slope formula.

[tex]y-(-8)=-1(x-(-7))[/tex]

Simplify this equation.

[tex]y+8=-1(x+7)[/tex]

Distribute -1 inside the parentheses.

[tex]y+8=-x-7[/tex]

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.

[tex]y=-x-15[/tex]

This line is in slope-intercept form ([tex]y=mx+b[/tex]), so we are done.
