Alake tahoe community college instructor is interested in the mean number of days lake tahoe community college math students are absent from class during a quarter.
1. what is the population she is interested in? a. all lake tahoe community college studentsb. all lake tahoe community college english studentsc. all lake tahoe community college students in her classesd. all lake tahoe community college math students

d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The population is the set of elements that you are interested in studying. In this example, the instructor wants to know the number of days Lake Tahoe Community College math students are absent from class during a quarter. To do so she will take a random sample of math students and register the number of absences of each student. Each math student is an element of the population.

Then the population is "Lake Tahoe Community College math students"

I hope it helps!

step-by-step explanation:

because that's the answer

1. when "a" is a root of a polynomial, (x -a) is a factor of it. for the three roots given, the factors of the desired polynomial are (x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3).

in order to make the leading coefficient be negative, we need to multiply this product by a negative number. any negative number will do, but we choose a small (magnitude) value that will eliminate the fraction: -2.

then

f(x) = -2(x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3) = -(x +2)(2x -1)(x -3)

= -(2x² +3x -2)(x -3)

= -(2x³ -3x² -11x +6)

f(x) = -2x³ +3x² +11x -6

2. a graph created by the desmos on-line graphing calculator is shown, and the zeros are highlighted.

3. as indicated in part 1, the multiplier of this equation can be anything and the zeros will remain the same. you want a negative leading coefficient, so the "anything" is restricted to any of the infinite number of numbers that will make that be the case.
