P = 60
l = w + 14

60 = 2(w+14) + 2w
60 = 2w + 28 + 2w
60 = 4w + 28
32 = 4w
width = 8 inches

What are the factors of the polynomial function? Use the rational root theorem to determine the factors. f(x) = 2x³ + x² - 8x -

fredd [130]

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

coefficient of x³ is 2 and denote it with q and denote -4 as p

the set of possible rational roots through rational theorem will be within ± (p/q)

now factors of -4 are ±(1,2,4) and factors of 2 are ± (1,2) the possible rational roots are ± ( 1/1, 1/2, 2/1, 2/2, 4/1, 4/2) which reduces to ± (1, 1/2, 2, 4)

substitute each of the value into the equation

f(x) = 2x³ + x² - 8x - 4 to the root ( that gives f(x) = 0)

the equation can be made easy writing it in reduced form

2x³ + x² - 8x - 4

(2x³ + x²) - (8x + 4)

x² (2x + 1) - 4 (2x + 1)

(x² - 4) (2x + 1)

( x + 2 ) ( x - 2) ( 2x + 1) are the factors which correspond to 2, -2, -1/2 roots

A study is conducted to determine whether a new cancer drug increases the mean survival time by at least 30 days for a certain t

anygoal [31]

Answer:

H0: The new cancer drug increases the mean survival time by 30 days

Ha: The new cancer drug increases the mean survival time by 30 or more than 30 days.

If fail to reject H0 (the null hypothesis), the conclusion is that the new cancer drug increases the mean survival time by 30 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is a statement from a population parameter which is either rejected or accepted (fail to reject) upon testing. It is expressed using the equality sign.

The alternate hypothesis is also a statement from a population parameter which negates the null hypothesis and is accepted if the null hypothesis is rejected. It is expressed using any of the inequality signs.

The test is a two-tailed test because the alternate hypothesis is expressed using more than or equal to.

If I fail to reject H0, it means the test statistic falls within the region bounded by the critical values.

It would therefore be concluded that the new cancer drug increases the mean survival time by 30 days.

The velocity of a ball is thrown up is 20 meters/second. It attains zero velocity after 3.5 seconds. What is the average acceler

Reptile [31]

Average acceleration: ( v - v o ) / Δ t
v = 0 m/s, v o = 20 m/s, Δ t = 3.5 s
a (average) = ( 0 m/s - 20 m/s )/3.5 s = - 20 m/s / 3.5 s =
= - 5.7142857 m/s² ≈ - 5.71 m/s²

Matt can buy and 8 ounce jar of salsa for $2.79 or a 15 ounce jar of salsa for $5.54 which jar has the best unit rate

sasho [114]

Answer:

8 ounce jar

Step-by-step explanation:

We divide the price by the number of ounces to find the unit rate or cost per one ounce.

2.79/8=0.34875

5.54/15=0.3693

The 8 ounce jar has the best unit rate with a lower cost per ounce.

G identify the solution of the recurrence relation an = 6an − 1 – 8an − 2 for n ≥ 2 together with the initial conditions a0 = 4,

maksim [4K]

Via the generating function method, let

$G(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}a_nx^n$

Then take the recurrence,

$a_n=6a_{n-1}-8a_{n-2}$

multiply everything by $x^n$ and sum over all $n\ge2$ :

$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge2}a_nx^n=6\sum_{n\ge2}a_{n-1}x^n-8\sum_{n\ge2}a_{n-2}x^n$

Re-index the sums or add/remove terms as needed in order to be able to express them in terms of $G(x)$ :

$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge2}a_nx^n=\sum_{n\ge0}a_nx^n-(a_0-a_1x)=G(x)-4-10x$

$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge2}a_{n-1}x^n=\sum_{n\ge1}a_nx^{n+1}=x\sum_{n\ge1}a_nx^n=x\left(G(x)-a_0\right)=x(G(x)-4)$

$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge2}a_{n-2}x^n=\sum_{n\ge0}a_nx^{n+2}=x^2\sum_{n\ge0}a_nx^n=x^2G(x)$

So the recurrence relation is transformed to

$G(x)-4-10x=6x(G(x)-4)-8x^2G(x)$
$(1-6x+8x^2)G(x)=4-14x$
$G(x)=\dfrac{4-14x}{1-6x+8x^2}=\dfrac{4-14x}{(1-4x)(1-2x)}=\dfrac1{1-4x}+\dfrac3{1-2x}$

For appropriate values of $x$ , we can express the RHS in terms of geometric power series:

$G(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}(4x)^n+3\sum_{n\ge0}(2x)^n=\sum_{n\ge0}\bigg(4^n+3\cdot2^n\bigg)x^n$

which tells us that

$a_n=4^n+3\cdot2^n$
