Answers

Answer 1

Using translation concepts, it is found that the correct option regarding the function is:

The function h(x) is decreasing on the interval (3, ∞).

What is a translation?

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction in it's definition.

The parent function is given by:

[tex]f(x) = \sqrt{x}[/tex]

Which increases on (0, ∞).

The translated function is given by:

[tex]g(x) = -2\sqrt{x - 3}[/tex]

With the translation, the domain is now (-3, ∞), and the function is decreasing, hence the correct option is given by:

The function h(x) is decreasing on the interval (3, ∞).

A man claims to have extrasensory perception (ESP). As a test, a fair coin is flipped 23 times, and the man is asked to predict the outcome in advance. He gets 20 out of 23 correct. What is the probability that he would have done at least this well if he had no ESP

Answers

The probability that he would have done at least this well if he had no ESP is 0.99979

What is the probability of determining that he would have done well with no ESP?

To determine the probability, we need to first find the probability of doing well with ESP.

The probability of having 20 correct answers out of 23 coin flips is:

[tex]\mathbf{=(\dfrac{1}{2})^{20}}[/tex]

Since we have 20 correct answers, we also need to find the probability of getting 3 answers wrong, which is:

[tex]\mathbf{=(\dfrac{1}{2})^{3}}[/tex]

There are [tex](^{23}_{20})[/tex] = 1771 ways to get 20 correct answers out of 23.

Therefore, the probability of doing well with ESP is:

[tex]\mathbf{= 1771 \times (\dfrac{1}{2})^{20}} \times (\dfrac{1}{2})^{3}}[/tex]

= 0.00021

The probability that he would have at least done well if he had no ESP is:

Which rational function has zeros at x = -1 and x = 6 ?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{x^{2} -5x-6}{x^{2} -4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's factorize the 1st option :

⇒ [tex]f(x) = \frac{x^{2} -5x-6}{x^{2} -4}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]f(x) = \frac{x^{2}+x-6x-6 }{(x+2)(x-2)}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]f(x) = \frac{(x+1)(x-6)}{(x+2)(x-2)}[/tex]

===============================================================

Finding the zeros :

⇒ Factors of numerator should be equated to 0

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = -1x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

=============================================================

Solution :

[tex]f(x) = \frac{x^{2} -5x-6}{x^{2} -4}[/tex]

Answer:

first option

Step-by-step explanation:

the zeros are determined by the numerator of the rational function.

given that the zeros are x = - 1 and x = 6 , then the corresponding factors are

(x + 1) and (x - 6) , that is

(x + 1)(x - 6) ← expand using FOIL

= x² - 5x - 6

the rational function is then

f(x) = [tex]\frac{x^2-5x-6}{x^2-4}[/tex]

Which of the following tables represents a function?

Answer:  Choice B

Reason:

Choices A, C and D have repeated x values. It allows us to rule them out.

Table A has x = 6 repeating. Table C has x = 3 and x = -3 repeated. Table D has x = 4 and x = 5 show up twice each.

Whenever we have repeated x values, it indicates we do not have a function. A function is only possible when each x value goes to exactly one y value only.

Table A has the input x = 6 lead to y = 2 and y = -2 at the same time. Table C and table D are a similar story. So this is another way to rule out choices A, C and D.

Luckily table B has no repeated x values. Each x input leads to exactly one and only one y output. Therefore, table B is a function.

decimals and exact).

Answers

The measure of the central angle is 89.95 degree or 1.57 radians if the radius of the circle is 7 cm.

What is a circle?

It is described as a set of points, where each point is at the same distance from a fixed point (called the centre of a circle)

We have a  length of an arc of a circle of radius 7 is approximately 10.99 cm.

The radius r = 7 cm

The arc length l = 10.99 cm

We know,

l = rθ

θ is the central angle.

θ = l/r  = 10.99/7 = 1.57 radians

To convert 1.57 radians into the degree multiply it by 180/π

θ = 89.95 degree

Thus, the measure of the central angle is 89.95 degree or 1.57 radians if the radius of the circle is 7 cm.

Hypothesis Test for the Population Mean (II)
A team averaging 110 points is likely to do very well during the regular season. The coach of your team has hypothesized that your team scored at an average of less than 110 points in the years 2013-2015. Test this claim at a 1% level of significance. For this test, assume that the population standard deviation for relative skill level is unknown.
You are to write this code block yourself.
Use Step 3 to help you write this code block. Here is some information that will help you write this code block. Reach out to your instructor if you need help.
The dataframe for your team is called your_team_df.
The variable 'pts' represents the points scored by your team.
Calculate and print the mean points scored by your team during the years you picked.
Identify the mean score under the null hypothesis. You only have to identify this value and do not have to print it. (Hint: this is given in the problem statement)

Calculate and print the test statistic rounded to two decimal places.
Calculate and print the P-value rounded to four decimal places.

Answers

The test statistic is -0.46 and the p-value is gotten as 0.3340

How to Calculate the P-value?

The question is not complete because the data from the sample is 105, 107, 117, 106, 110.

Mean of sample is;

Mean = (105 + 107 + 117 + 106 + 110)/5

Mean; x' = 109

From online standard deviation calculator, the standard deviation of the sample is; S = 4.848

Now, the claim is that your team scored an average significantly less than 110 points. Thus, let's define the hypothesis as;

Null Hypothesis; μ = 110

Alternative Hypothesis; μ < 110

standard error of the mean; S_m = S/√n

S_m = 4.848/5

S_m = 2.17

Thus, the t-statistic is;

t = (x' - μ)/S_m

t = (109 - 110)/2.17

t = -0.46

Degree of freedom for this sample size is;

D.F = N - 1 =5 - 1 = 4

From online p-value from t-score calculator, we have;

p-value = 0.3340

The p-value is greater than the significance value and as such we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is not enough evidence to support the claim that your team scored an average significantly less than 110 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

w^2 + 7w - 18 = 0

We can factor this equation

What 2 numbers multiply to -18 and add to 7

9*-2 = -18

9+-2 = 7

(w-2) (w+9) = 0

Using the zero product property

w-2 = 0    w+9 =0

w=2  w = -9

Answer:

[tex]w_1=2\\w_2=-9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is going to be solved using the quadratic formula.

1. Determine the quadratic equation’s coefficient [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], and [tex]c[/tex].

Use the standard form, [tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]  , to find the coefficients of our equation,

[tex]w^2+7w-18=0[/tex]:

a = 1

b = 7

c = -18

2. Plug these coefficients into the quadratic formula

The quadratic formula gives us the roots for  [tex]aw^2+bw+c=0[/tex] , in which [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], and [tex]c[/tex] are numbers (or coefficients), as follows:

[tex]w=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex]

7 additional steps:

a = 1

b = 7

c = -18

[tex]w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{7^2=4*1*-18} }{2*1}[/tex]

Simplify exponents and square roots

[tex]w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{49-4*1*-18} }{2*1}[/tex]

Perform any multiplication or division, from left to right:

[tex]w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{49-4*-18}}{2*1}\\w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{49--72}}{2*1}\\\\w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{49+72}}{2*1}\\w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{121}}{2*1}[/tex]

to get the result:

[tex]w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{49-4*-18}}{2}[/tex]

3. Simplify square root [tex]\sqrt{121}[/tex]

Simplify 121 by finding its prime factors:

121 ( 11 * 11)

The prime factorization of 121 is 11^2

Write the prime factors:

[tex]\sqrt{121}=\sqrt{11\cdot 11}[/tex]

Group the prime factors into pairs and rewrite them in exponent form:

'[tex]\sqrt{11\cdot 11}=\sqrt{11^2}[/tex]

Use the rule [tex]\sqrt{x^2=x}[/tex]  to simplify further:

[tex]\sqrt{11^2}=11[/tex]

4. Solve the equation for w

[tex]w=\frac{-7\pm11}{2}[/tex]

The ±  means two answers are possible.

Separate the equations:

[tex]w_1=\frac{(-7+11)}{2}[/tex] and [tex]w_2=\frac{-7-11}{2}[/tex]

[tex]w_1=\frac{-7+11}{2}[/tex]

[tex]w_1=\frac{4}{2}[/tex]

[tex]w_1=2[/tex]

Why learn this

In their most basic function, quadratic equations define shapes like circles, ellipses and parabolas. These shapes can in turn be used to predict the curve of an object in motion, such as a ball kicked by football player or shot out of a cannon. When it comes to an object’s movement through space, what better place to start than space itself—with the revolution of planets around the sun in our solar system. The quadratic equation was used to establish that planets’ orbits are elliptical, not circular. Determining the path and speed an object travels through space is possible even after it has come to a stop: the quadratic equation can calculate how fast a vehicle was moving when it crashed. With information like this, the automotive industry can design brakes to prevent collisions in the future. Many industries use the quadratic equation to predict and thus improve their products’ lifespan and safety.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

[tex]1\frac{2}{3} \times\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

In order to multiply the two, we have to convert the mixed number into a improper fraction and then multiply the numerator by the numerator, the denominator by the denominator.

[tex]1\frac{2}{3} =3\times1=3+2=\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{3} \times\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]5\times2=10[/tex]
[tex]3\times3=9[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{10}{9}[/tex]

Convert the improper fraction into a mixed number:

[tex]\frac{10}{9}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{10}{9} =10\div9=1\frac{1}{9}[/tex]
[tex]=1\frac{1}{9}[/tex]

Your answer is "1 1/9."

Hope this helps.

Write the following as algebraic expressions. r decreased by 3

We are asked to write the verbal phrase "r decreased by 3" as an algebraic expression.

[tex]\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}\star[/tex]

Think about it. "decreased by". If we decrease a number by another number, what happens to the first number?

Here we decrease the variable "r" by 3.

Remember, variables always represent some number.

Let's think about it this way...

///\\\////\\\\////\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\///\\///\\///\\///\//\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\///\\\///\

So we have a number r, and we decrease it by 3.

Now its value is less than the original value.

We subtracted 3 from the original value of r, and now its value is less than the original one.

Thus, "decreased by" is the same as "subtracted" in mathematics.

r decreased by 3 ⇒ [tex]\star\large\pmb{r-3}[/tex]

Hope it helps you out! :D

A group of friends are playing a trivia game. players spin a spinner 2 times to find the 2 categories of trivia questions they will be asked. the spinner has 5 sections. the "music" and "sports" sections are each 1-half the size of the 3 larger sections.


to the nearest percentage, what is the probability that a player will be asked a math question ,begin emphasis,and then,end emphasis, a music question? enter the answer in the box.

Answers

The probability that a player will be asked a math question and then a music question is 0.03125

How to determine the probability?

The size of the sections are given as:

Music = 0.5

Sport = 0.5

Others = 1

So, the total size is:

Total = 0.5 + 0.5 + 1 + 1 + 1

Evaluate

Total = 4

The probability of asking a math question is:

P(Math) = 1/4 = 0.25

The probability of asking a music question is:

P(Music) = 0.5/4 = 0.125

The required probability is:

P(Math and Music) = P(Math) * P(Music)

This gives

P(Math and Music) = 0.25 * 0.125

Evaluate

P(Math and Music) = 0.03125

Hence, the probability that a player will be asked a math question and then a music question is 0.03125
