This semester, the tuition fee increased to $5,871. If this represents an increase by 14%, what was the original fee?

What is the completely factored form of f(x)=x3+5x2+4x−6?

Gre4nikov [31]

$f(x)=x^3+5x^2+4x-6$
$f(-3)=(-3)^3+5(-3)^2+4(-3)-6=0\implies x+3\text{ is a factor of }f(x)$

Synthetic division yields

-3 | 1   5   4   -6
.    |      -3 -6    6
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
.    | 1   2 -2    0

which translates to

$\dfrac{x^3+5x^2+4x-6}{x+3}=x^2+2x-2$

with remainder 0. Now by the quadratic formula,

$x^2+2x-2=0\implies x=\dfrac{-2\pm\sqrt{2^2-4(1)(-2)}}2=-1\pm\sqrt3$

and so

$f(x)=x^3+5x^2+4x-6=(x+3)(x-(-1+\sqrt3))(x-(-1-\sqrt3))$

A segment has endpoints A (-1, 1) and B (8, 4) . If the segment is divided into four equal parts, the coordinates of the point c

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Line is divided into 4 equal parts.

we have to find a point which is closest to point A.

So that means required point P(x,y) is at 1 unit away from A(-1,1) and 3 unit away from B(8,4)

Now we just need to use section formula to get the coordinate of required point using m1=1 and m2=3

$\left ( \frac{m_1x_2+m_2x_1}{m_1+m_2} , \frac{m_1y_2+m_2y_1}{m_1+m_2} \right )$

$= \left ( \frac{1*8+3*(-1)}{1+3} , \frac{1*4+3*1}{1+3} \right )$

$= \left ( \frac{8-3}{4} , \frac{4+3}{4} \right )$

$= \left ( \frac{5}{4} , \frac{7}{4} \right )$

So the final answer is $\left ( \frac{5}{4} , \frac{7}{4} \right )$ .

Percent means per one-hundred

300(10/100)=30

So 30 of the 300 workers were satisfied with their benefits.

Answer:

The Null hypothesis represented as

$H_0: \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0$

The Alternative hypothesis represented as

$H_a: \mu_1 - \mu_2 < 0$

b

p-value = P(Z < -3.37 ) = 0.000376

c

There is insufficient evidence to conclude that graduate students score higher, on average, on the HPI than undergraduate students

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population size is $n= 650$

The sample size for graduates is $n_1 = 300$

The sample mean for graduates is $\= x _1 = 148$

The sample standard deviation for graduates is $\sigma_1 = 16$

The sample size for under-graduates is $n _2 = 350$

The sample mean for under-graduates is $\= x _2 = 153$

The sample standard deviation for graduates is $\sigma_2 = 21$

The Null hypothesis represented as

$H_0: \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0$

The Alternative hypothesis represented as

$H_a: \mu_1 - \mu_2 < 0$

Where $\mu_1 \ and \ \mu_2$ are the population mean

Now the test statistic is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{(\= x_1 - \= x_2 ) }{ \sqrt{ \frac{ (n_1 - 1 )\sigma_1 ^2 + (n_2 - 1)\sigma_2^2}{n_1 +n_2 -2} } * \sqrt{ \frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_2} } }$

substituting values

$t = \frac{(148 - 153 ) }{ \sqrt{ \frac{ (300- 1 )16 ^2 + (350 - 1) 21^2}{300 +350 -2} } * \sqrt{ \frac{1}{300} + \frac{1}{350} } }$

$t = -3.37$

The p-values is mathematically evaluated as

p-value = P(Z < -3.37 ) = 0.000376

The above answer is gotten using a p-value calculator at (0.05) level of significance

Looking the p-value we see that it is less than the level of significance (0.05) so Null hypothesis is rejected

Hence there is insufficient evidence to conclude that graduate students score higher, on average, on the HPI than undergraduate students
