Use the function nest to evaluate p(x) = 1 + x + · · · + x50 at x = 1.00001. (use the matlab ones command to save typing.) find the error of the computation by comparing with the equivalent expression q(x) = (x51 − 1)/(x − 1).

The base of a triangle exceeds the height by 9 inches. if the area is 180 square inches, find the length of the base and the height of the triangle.

An automobile assembly line operation has a scheduled mean completion time, μ, of 12 minutes. the standard deviation of completion times is 1.6 minutes. it is claimed that, under new management, the mean completion time has decreased. to test this claim, a random sample of 33 completion times under new management was taken. the sample had a mean of 11.2 minutes. assume that the population is normally distributed. can we support, at the 0.05 level of significance, the claim that the mean completion time has decreased under new management? assume that the standard deviation of completion times has not changed.
