Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. consider the following polynomials equations. 3x^2(x-1) and -3x^3+ 4x^2-2x+1 perform each operation and determine if the result is a polynomial. is the result of a + b a polynomial? yes or no is the result of a - b a polynomial? yes or no is the result of a · b a polynomial? yes or no

Which polynomial equation of least degree has -2, -2, 3, and 3 as four of its roots? (x + 2)(x - 3) = 0 (x - 2)-2(x + 3)3 = 0 (x-2 + 2)(x2- 3) = 0 (x + 2)2(x - 3)2 = 0

At wind speeds above 1000 centimeters per second (cm/sec), significant sand-moving events begin to occur. wind speeds below 1000 cm/sec deposit sand and wind speeds above 1000 cm/sec move sand to new locations. the cyclic nature of wind and moving sand determines the shape and location of large dunes. at a test site, the prevailing direction of the wind did not change noticeably. however, the velocity did change. fifty-nine wind speed readings gave an average velocity of x = 1075 cm/sec. based on long-term experience, σ can be assumed to be 245 cm/sec. (a) find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean wind speed at this site. (round your answers to the nearest whole number.) lower limit cm/sec upper limit cm/sec
