Three potential employees took an aptitude test. Each person took a different version of the test. The scores are reported below. Thomas got a score of 86.7; this version has a mean of 66.3 and a standard deviation of 12
Morgan got a score of 288.6; this version has a mean of 279 and a standard deviation of 16.
Reyna got a score of 7.92; this version has a mean of 7.4 and a standard deviation of 0.4.
If the company has only one position to fill and prefers to fill it with the applicant who performed best on the aptitude test, which of the applicants should be offered the job?
Thomas
Morgan
Reyna

answer: b. f(x) = (x + 2)^3 (x^2 - 7x + 3)^4

step-by-step explanation:

polynomials always have as many roots as their order. this is a 4th order polynomial- hence 4 roots!

complex roots of polynomials always come in pairs. the quadratic equation has the "+/-" in that will alwaysgenerate m+ni amd m-ni, so 7-2i must be a root of this polynomial equation.

the order of the numerator and denominator are both 2. so the horizontal asymptote is y=a2/b2 =7

verticle asymptotes are the forbidden x-values. f(x) becomes undefined at x=-3 because this value will cause a zero denominator.

a graph of r(x) will have vertical asymptotes at ±1 because these values will make the denominator zero. so the domain of the function cannot include ±1.

you 're wlecome! : )

60 + 3

here is me explaining it:

the pizza would be delivered around 5, give or take 15 minutes. this means it could be delivered anywhere from 4: 45 to 5: 15

let's say 5: 00 is equivalent to 0 on a number line and x represents time. 4: 45 would be equal to -15x because we are 15 minutes behind our starting point, 5: 00. 5: 15 would be equal to 15x because we are 15 minutes ahead of your starting point (which means you're late on the pizza delivery! )

absolute value is very confusing. the basic definition is how far you are from your starting point. if we deliver the pizza at 4: 45 (15 minutes before the starting point) we would be -15. this means we are 15 away from our starting point, 5: 00. that's the absolute value. |-15| (absolute value of negative fifteen) is equal to 15. if you did not understand this i suggest rereading this paragraph.

the normal way you would write this scenario would be 4.75 (4 and 3 quarters, or 4: 45. you can also write as a fraction.) is less than x and x is less than 5.25 (5 and 1 quarter or 5: 15). 4.75< x< 5.25 the reason why i am using numbers is because you cannot represent typical time as values on a graph, number line, or in an equation.

another way to write this scenario is with absolute value. we can write this as |x| being less than or equal to .25 (remember, this just means 15 minutes).           |x| ≤ .25.

sorry if the end was confusing. because we are talking about time this whole question is 10x harder. like i said earlier, you cannot represent time as, well, time, in a graph, equation, or number line. i set the values as follows: 1/4 or .25 for 15 minutes, and 1 for 1 hour. this is just a common way to set up graphs involving time.

|x| ≤ .25

i hope this ! : )

tell me if you need more assistance

d: (13,-1)

step-by-step explanation:

we know the starting point is (1,5)

the ending point is (x,y)   (cristians house)

the total distance is 6 units (5: 1)  

the fast food restaurant is at (11,0) and is 5/6ths of the way from the starting point to the ending point

ending minus starting point * 5/6   is how far they went

(x-1) *5/6, (y-5) * 5/6

we then need to add the starting point to determine the location

5/6(x-1) + 1, (y-5) * 5/6 + 5

this equals the fast food location of 11,0

setting the x locations equal

5/6 (x-1) +1 =11

subtracting 1 from each side

5/6 (x-1) +1-1 =11-1

5/6(x-1) =10

multiplying by 6/5 on each side

6/5*5/6(x-1) = 10*6/5

x-1 =12

add 1 to each side

x-1+1 =12+1

x=13

do the same for the y coordinate

(y-5) * 5/6 + 5 =0

subtract 5 from each side

(y-5) * 5/6 + 5-5 =0-5

5/6 (y-5) = -5

multiplying by 6/5 on each side

6/5*5/6 (y-5) = -5 *6/5

y-5 = -6

add 5 to each side

y-5+5 = -6+5

y=-1

the ending point , or the coordinates of cristians house is

(13,-1)
