polynomial functions 1999-11-19
Quinn pose la question :
  1. Without fully factoring the following show that they all have the same zeros:

    I: x4-x2+2x+6
    II: -x4+x2-2x-6
    III: -4x4+4x2-8x-24
    IV: 10x4-10x2+20x+60

  2. When P(x)=x3-3x2+5x+1 and G(x)=x3-2x2-x+10 are each divided by(x-a) the remainders are equal. At what coordinate point does the graph of P(x) intersect G(x)?

Walter Whiteley lui répond.

and the derivative is f'(x)=6x2+8x-9,

how do I find the critical points if f'(x) is not factorable??

Domain and Range of a Function 1999-11-14
Michelle Mellott pose la question :
How do you find the range of the following function:

2y2/(y2+5y+6)??

I know the domain is x not equalled to -2, -3. How can one easily find the range?
Harley Weston lui répond.

Estimating the population mean 1999-11-13
John Barekman pose la question :
Statitistics: Estimating the population mean when the standard deviation is known:

I am not sure which n to use in the formula for the confidence interval equation:

x +/- z*(standard deviation/sqrt(n))

If we have data of ten people, and if we have the data of ten sets of ten people each, what is the difference in the n that we use? What is the difference between the standard deviation and the standard error? Are we using the number of sampling means or just the number of samples?
Harley Weston lui répond.
