A research scientist wants to know how many times per hour a certain strand of bacteria reproduces. The mean is found to be 13.6 reproductions and the population standard deviation is known to be 1.9. If a sample of 189 was used for the study, construct the 85% confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the bacteria. Round your answers to one decimal place.

The image of the point (-6, -2)under a translation is (−7,0). find the coordinates of the image of the point (7,0) under the same translation.

Compute the standard deviation of the following set of data to the nearest whole number. 10, 10, 15, 20, 25

Evaluate 8x2 + 9x − 1 2x3 + 3x2 − 2x dx. solution since the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, we don't need to divide. we factor the denominator as 2x3 + 3x2 − 2x = x(2x2 + 3x − 2) = x(2x − 1)(x + 2). since the denominator has three distinct linear factors, the partial fraction decomposition of the integrand has the form† 8x2 + 9x − 1 x(2x − 1)(x + 2) = correct: your answer is correct. to determine the values of a, b, and c, we multiply both sides of this equation by the product of the denominators, x(2x − 1)(x + 2), obtaining 8x2 + 9x − 1 = a correct: your answer is correct. (x + 2) + bx(x + 2) + cx(2x − 1).
