We are told that the children from a football club are put into rows in the sports hall. When put into rows of 9 children there are 2 children left over. When put into rows of 12 children there are 2 children left over.

We will find least number of children in football club by finding LCM of 9 and 12.

Multiples of 9 are: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63,...

Multiples of 12 are: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84,...

We can see that least common multiple of 9 and 12 is 36.

We are told that 2 children left over from putting them into 9 and 12 children per row. To find least number we will add 2 to 36.

9\cdot4+2=36+2=38

12\cdot3+2=36+2=38      

\text{Least number of children in football club}=36+2=38

Therefore, the least number of children in the football club is 38.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 13cm and its width is 11/4. find its length.
enyata [817]
Perimeter = 2 length + 2 width

P = 2(l) + 2(11/4)

13 = 2l +2* \frac{11}{4}

13 = 2l + \frac{2}{1} * \frac{11}{4}

13 = 2l + \frac{22}{4}     (subtract 22/4 from each side)

13 -\frac{22}{4} = 2l

13 -\frac{11}{2} = 2l

\frac{26}{2}  -\frac{11}{2} = 2l

\frac{15}{2}} = 2l

7.5 = 2l    (divide each side by 2)

7.5 ÷ 2 = l

3.75 = l

The answer is 3.75 or 3 \frac{3}{4}

A doctor is measuring the average height of male students at a large college. The doctor measures the heights, in inches, of a s
denpristay [2]

Answer:

For this case the  95% confidence interval is given (63.5 , 74.4) and we want to conclude about the result. For this case we can say that the true mean of heights for male students would be between 63.5 and 74.4. And the best answer would be:

b. The doctor can be 95% confident that the mean height of male students at the college is between 63.5 inches and 74.4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation

\bar X represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:  

\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n} (2)  

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}} (3)  

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=40-1=39

For this case the  95% confidence interval is given (63.5 , 74.4) and we want to conclude about the result. For this case we can say that the true mean of heights for male students would be between 63.5 and 74.4. And the best answer would be:

b. The doctor can be 95% confident that the mean height of male students at the college is between 63.5 inches and 74.4 inches.

According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, which polynomial function has exactly 8 roots?f(X) 3x4 +2xfox)- (6x -4x5-10 3x2
mina [271]
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
A. (3x²-4x-5)(2x⁶-5)

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>The fundamental theorem of Algebra states that:</u>
"A polynomial of degree 'n' will have exactly 'n' number of roots"

We know that the degree of the polynomial is given by the highest power of the polynomial.
Applying the above theorem on the given question, we can deduce that the polynomial that has exactly 8 roots is the polynomial of the 8th degree

<u>Now, let's check the choices:</u>
<u>A. (3x²-4x-5)(2x⁶-5)</u>
The term with the highest power will be (3x²)(2x⁶) = 6x⁸
Therefore, the polynomial is of 8th degree which means it has exactly 8 roots. This option is correct.

<u>B. (3x⁴+2x)⁴</u>
The term with the highest power will be (3x⁴)⁴ = 81x¹⁶
Therefore, the polynomial is of 16th degree which means it has exactly 16 roots. This option is incorrect.

<u>C. (4x²-7)³</u>
The term with the highest power will be (4x²)³ = 64x⁶
Therefore, the polynomial is of 6th degree which means that it has exactly 6 roots. This option is incorrect

<u>D. (6x⁸-4x⁵-1)(3x²-4)</u>
The term with the highest power will be (6x⁸)(3x²) = 18x¹⁰
Therefore, the polynomial is of 10th degree which means that it has exactly 10 roots. This option is incorrect

Hope this helps :)
