Given f(x) and g(x) = k⋅f(x), use the graph to determine the value of k. Two lines labeled f(x) and g(x). Line f(x) passes through points (-4, 0) and (-3, 1). Line g(x) passes through points (-4, 0) and (-3, -3).
A.) 3
B.) 1/3
C.) -1/3
D.) −3

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line passing through two points, then the equation of line is

[tex](y-y_1)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)[/tex]

It is given that  Line f(x) passes through points (-4, 0) and (-3, 1).  So, equation of line f(x) is

[tex](y-0)=\dfrac{1-0}{-3-(-4)}(x-(-4))[/tex]

[tex]y=1(x+4)[/tex]

So, function f(x) is

[tex]f(x)=(x+4)[/tex]    ...(1)

Line g(x) passes through points (-4, 0) and (-3, -3).  So, equation of line f(x) is

[tex](y-0)=\dfrac{-3-0}{-3-(-4)}(x-(-4))[/tex]

[tex]y=-3(x+4)[/tex]

So, function g(x) is

[tex]g(x)=-3(x+4)[/tex]    ...(2)

Using (1) and (2), we get

[tex]g(x)=-3f(x)[/tex]    ...(3)

It is given that

[tex]g(x)=kf(x)[/tex]     ...(4)

On comparing (3) and (4), we get

[tex]k=-3[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Florian ran 1.2 miles and walked 4.8 laps around the path at the park for a total distance of 3.6 miles. Which shows the correct equation and value of x, the distance of 1 lap around the path at the park? 3.6 x + 1.2 = 4.8; x = 1 mile 4.8 x + 1.2 = 3.6; x = 1 mile 3.6 x + 1.2 = 4.8; x = 0.5 mile 4.8 x + 1.2 = 3.6; x = 0.5 mile

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer would be D) 4.8x + 1.2 = 3.6; x = 0.5 mile

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because laps would be the dependent variable, so we know the number of them (4.8) would be multiplied by the variable (x). We also know that 1.2 is the constant. Now we can solve to make sure this is the right equation.

4.8x + 1.2 = 3.6

4.8x = 2.4

x = 0.5

Answer:

D) 4.8x + 1.2 = 3.6; x = 0.5 miles

y = c1 cos(5x) + c2 sin(5x) is a two-parameter family of solutions of the second-order DE y'' + 25y = 0. If possible, find a solution of the differential equation that satisfies the given side conditions. The conditions specified at two different points are called boundary conditions. (If not possible, enter IMPOSSIBLE.) y(0) = 1, y'(π) = 9

Answers

Answer:

y = 2cos5x-9/5sin5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the solution to the differential equation y'' + 25y = 0 to be

y = c1 cos(5x) + c2 sin(5x). In order to find the solution to the differential equation given the boundary conditions y(0) = 1, y'(π) = 9, we need to first get the constant c1 and c2 and substitute the values back into the original solution.

According to the boundary condition y(0) = 2, it means when x = 0, y = 2

On substituting;

2 = c1cos(5(0)) + c2sin(5(0))

2 = c1cos0+c2sin0

2 = c1 + 0

c1 = 2

Substituting the other boundary condition y'(π) = 9, to do that we need to first get the first differential of y(x) i.e y'(x). Given

y(x) = c1cos5x + c2sin5x

y'(x) = -5c1sin5x + 5c2cos5x

If y'(π) = 9, this means when x = π, y'(x) = 9

On substituting;

9 = -5c1sin5π + 5c2cos5π

9 = -5c1(0) + 5c2(-1)

9 = 0-5c2

-5c2 = 9

c2 = -9/5

Substituting c1 = 2 and c2 = -9/5 into the solution to the general differential equation

y = c1 cos(5x) + c2 sin(5x) will give

y = 2cos5x-9/5sin5x

The final expression gives the required solution to the differential equation.

You have 10 shirts 2 of them are black what is the probability of not choosing a black shirt.

Answers

80% or 4/5
Since there are 2 blacks shirts and 10 in total the probability is of not poking a black shirt is 8/10 which when reduced is 4/5

Answer:

80% or 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

the probability of not choosing a black shirt

P = number of shirts that are not black ÷ total number of shirts

Total number of shirts = 10

Number of black shirts = 2

Number of shirts that are not black = 10-2 = 8

P = 8/10 = 4/5 or 80%

Electricity usage data consists of 45 months has a mean number of units consumed is 390.47 per month with a standard deviation of 170.5 units per month. Assume that the number of units consumed are approximately normally distributed. Estimate 95% confidence interval for the average monthly electricity consumed units.

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the average monthly electricity consumed units is between 47.07 and 733.87

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample. So we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 45 - 1 = 44

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 44 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.0141

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.0141*170.5 = 343.4

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 390.47 - 343.40 = 47.07 units per month

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 390.47 + 343.40 = 733.87 units per month

The 95% confidence interval for the average monthly electricity consumed units is between 47.07 and 733.87

[tex]\frac{6000}{1.05^{4} }=\frac{A}{1.05^{2} }+\frac{B}{1.05^{6} }\\\\6000(1.05^{2} ) = (1.05^{4} ) +B\\B= 6000(1.05^{2} )-(1.05^{4} )----------(1)\\\\[/tex]

From equation 1 we have

[tex]4[6000(1.05^2)]= 2*A(1.05^4)+6*6000(1.05^2)-6*A(1.05^4)\\4*A(1.05^4)=2*6000(1.05^2)\\A=\frac{2*6000(1.05^2)}{4*(1.05^4)} \\A=272.088435\\[/tex]

Going back to equation 1 we have

[tex]B= 6000(1.05^2)-A(1.05^4)\\B= 3307.5\\|A-B|= |2721.088435-3307.5|= 586.411565[/tex]

During the calendar year of 1971 a total of 171 deaths were caused by influenza in a city of 450,000 persons. The temporal distribution of these deaths was as follows: First Quarter, 54; Second Quarter, 43; Third Quarter, 35; and Fourth Quarter, 39. Calculate the annual and quarterly mortality rates per 100,000 population.

Answers

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of annual and quarterly mortality rates per 100,000 population is shown below:-

Quarterly mortality rates are

[tex]= \frac{Deaths}{Population\ in\ the\ city}\times Population[/tex]

For the first quarter

[tex]= \frac{54}{450,000}\times 100,000[/tex]

= 12  death per 100,000 population

For the second quarter

[tex]= \frac{43}{450,000}\times 100,000[/tex]

= 9.5  death per 100,000 population

For the third quarter

[tex]= \frac{35}{450,000}\times 100,000[/tex]

= 7.7  death per 100,000 population

For the fourth quarter

[tex]= \frac{39}{450,000}\times 100,000[/tex]

= 8.6  death per 100,000 population

Now the annual mortality is

[tex]= \frac{Deaths}{Population\ in\ the\ city}\times Population[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{171}{450,000}\times 100,000[/tex]

= 38 death per 100,000 population

A report about how American college students manage their finances includes data from a survey of college students. Each person in a representative sample of 793 college students was asked if they had one or more credit cards and if so, whether they paid their balance in full each month. There were 500 who paid in full each month. For this sample of 500 students, the sample mean credit card balance was reported to be $825. The sample standard deviation of the credit card balances for these 500 students was not reported, but for purposes of this exercise, suppose that it was $200. Is there convincing evidence that college students who pay their credit card balance in full each month have a mean balance that is lower than $905, the value reported for all college students with credit cards

Answers

Answer:

Yes. There is enough evidence to support the claim that college students who pay their credit card balance in full each month have a mean balance that is lower than $905.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to test the claim that college students who pay their credit card balance in full each month have a mean balance that is lower than $905.

To perform this test we have a sample of 500 students which have paid their balance in full each month. The sample mean is $825 and the estimated sample deviation is considered $200.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

[tex]H_0: \mu=905\\\\H_a:\mu< 905[/tex]

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=500.

The sample mean is M=825.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

[tex]s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{200}{\sqrt{500}}=8.94[/tex]

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

[tex]t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{825-905}{8.94}=\dfrac{-80}{8.94}=-8.94[/tex]

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

[tex]df=n-1=500-1=499[/tex]

This test is a left-tailed test, with 499 degrees of freedom and t=-8.94, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

[tex]\text{P-value}=P(t<-8.94)=0[/tex]

As the P-value (0) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that college students who pay their credit card balance in full each month have a mean balance that is lower than $905.

The supreme choice pizza at Pizza Paradise contains 2 different meats and 4 different vegetables. The customer can select any one of 5 types of crust. If there are 4 meats and 9 vegetables to choose from, how many different supreme choice pizzas can be made?

Answers

Answer:

756

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a combination problem. Combination has to do with selection.

If we are to select r objects out of a oiil of n objects, this can be done in nCr number of ways as shown;

nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

From the question, there are 4 meats and 9 vegetables to choose from. If the customer is to select 2 different meats and 4 different vegetables from the available ones, this can be done as shown

4C2 (selection of 2 different meats from 4meats) and 9C4(selection of 4 different vegetables from 9 total vegetables)

The total number of ways this can be done is 4C2 × 9C4

= 4!/(4-2)!2! × 9!/(9-4)!4!

= 4!/2!2! × 9!/5!4!

= 4×3×2!/2!×2 × 9×8×7×6×5!/5!×4×3×2

= 6 × 9×7×2

= 756ways

This means 756 different supreme choice pizzas can be made.

The function​ s(t) represents the position of an object at time t moving along a line. Suppose s(2)=69 and s(6)=141.Find the average velocity of the object over the interval of time [2,6 ].

Answers

Answer:

The average velocity of the object over the interval of time [2,6] is of 18 units of distance per unit of time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average velocity can be calculated as the division of the position change by the time change.

Find the average velocity of the object over the interval of time [2,6 ].

6 - 2 = 4 units of time (t, min,...)

s(6) = 141, s(2) = 69

141 - 69 = 72 units of distance(m, km...)

A spherical gemstone just fits inside a plastic cube with edges 12cm. a) calculate the volume of gemstone, to the nearest cubic centimeter. b) how much empty space is there.

Answers

Answer:

a) (V)  = 904.78 of a sphere = 288pi diameter = 12

(V) = 1728cm^3 of a cube = face diagonal = 16.9cm

b) Difference Volume = 1728-904.78 = 823.22cm^3

 

Step-by-step explanation:

To find volume of an inscribed sphere within a square cube

We use 4 π/3 * r^3 for the equation

As Radius = 6 = 6cm this is the only thing plugged into the equation to create a division first then a multiplication square of radius and then a multiplication. 4pi /3 * 6^3

r^3 = 216

4pi/3 = 4.18

4.18 * 216 = 904.78

This means the answer is 288 pi cm^3.

Answer:

volume of gemstone = 905 cm^3

volume of empty space = 823 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of cube = s^3, where s = length of edge

volume of sphere = (4/3)(pi)r^3, where r = radius of sphere

The cube has a 12-cm edge. The sphere fits tightly inside the cube, so the diameter, d, of the sphere is 12 cm. The radius is half the diameter, so radius = r = diameter/2 = 12 cm/2 = 6 cm.

a)

volume of sphere = (4/3)(pi)r^3

volume of sphere = (4/3)(3.14159)(6 cm)^3

volume of sphere = 905 cm^3

b)

The empty space is the difference between the volume of the cube and the volume of the sphere.

volume of cube = s^3

volume of cube = (12 cm)^3

volume of cube = 1728 cm^3

empty space = volume of cube - volume of sphere

empty space = 1728 cm^3 - 905 cm^3

empty space = 823 cm^3
