Descares Theorem says that the number of roots of a polynomial is equal to its highest exponent, and the roots could be real and/or imaginary (complex).

However is their is one complex root (a + i.b), it's conjugate is also
a root (a-i.b).

In the equation x⁴ - 4x³ - 2x² + 12x + 9 = 0, we have already 3 roots, then the 4rth cannot be a complex one since we don't have a fifth for its conjugate.

Joy makes 6.5 litres of soup, correct to the nearest 0.5 litre. She serves the soup in 280 ml portions, correct to the nearest 1
Levart [38]

Answer:

Joy definitely does have enough soup for 22 people.


Step-by-step explanation:

Upper Bound: 285ml  turn it to 0.285 L                      10÷2=5

280ml  :

Lower Bound: 275ml turn it  to 0.275 L

Upper Bound: 6.75 L                           0.5÷2=0.25

6.5 Litters  :

Lower Bound:6.25  L

6.75÷0.275=24.54 or 25  

6.25÷0.285=21.92 or 22

The indicated function y1(x) is a solution of the associated homogeneous equation. Use the method of reduction of order to find
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

y2 = (6x + 7)/36 + (Dx + E)e^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The method of reduction of order is applicable for second-order differential equations.

For a known solution y1 of a 2nd order differential equation, this method assumes a second solution in the form Uy1 which satisfies the said differential equation. It then assumes a reduced order for U'' (w' = U'').

The differential equation becomes easy to solve, and all that is left are integration and substitutions.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

a) <u><em>y = 9.187 * 1.09899^x</em></u>

b) <u><em>2647.2695</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

a) using calculator, (mine is ti84 plus ce), we use stat and edit. we plug in x and y. x will be in the L1 and y wil be in L2. Now, we go to stat, calc,  and we press ExpReg, short for exponential regression. we calculate and get <u><em>y = 9.187 * 1.09899^x</em></u>

you can round if you want. well, i guess you shouldn't, cuz it changes it dramatically

b) Now, we use <u><em>y = 9.187 * 1.09899^x </em></u> into the y= and we put it in whatever slot we want. Now, we press trace. we press 60 to find the y,because the number is always x. the number , y, we want is <u><em>2647.2695</em></u> recommendations.

A manufacturing company produces valves in various sizes and shapes. One particular valve plate is supposed to have a tensile st
maxonik [38]

Answer:

z=\frac{5.0611-5}{\frac{0.2803}{\sqrt{42}}}=1.413    

p_v =2*P(z>1.413)=0.158  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the average tensile strength is different from 5lbs/mm at 10% of signficance

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=5.0611 represent the sample mean

\sigma=0.2803 represent the population standard deviation for the sample  

n=42 sample size  

\mu_o =5 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.1 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is different from 5, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 5  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 5  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but and we know the population deviation so is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

z=\frac{5.0611-5}{\frac{0.2803}{\sqrt{42}}}=1.413    

P-value

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z>1.413)=0.158  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the average tensile strength is different from 5lbs/mm at 10% of signficance

Solve graphically the system of linear equations:<br><br><br> x-y=1<br><br> x+3y=9
Anna [14]
X - y = 1
-x - 3y = -9 = -4y = -8 = y = 2
Then use the easiest equation from before.
Use 2 for y.
x -1(2) = 1
x - 2 = 1 = x = 3
Answer: (3, 2) Hope this helps :)
