Please help ASAP. The question is down below.

(a) and (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

In both questions the denominator of the rational functions cannot be zero as this would make them undefined. Equating the denominators to zero and solving gives the values that x cannot be.

Given

solve (3 - x)(2 + x) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

3 - x = 0 ⇒ x = 3

2 + x = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

x = 3 and x = - 2 are excluded values → (a)

Given

solve

6x² + 10x - 4 = 0 ← in standard form

(x+ 2)(6x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

6x - 2 = 0 ⇒ 6x = 2 ⇒ x =

x = and x = - 2 are excluded values → (a)

d. 24+-0.114

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;
