Explanation:
The given function is
[tex]f(x) = \frac{\sqrt{2x-6}}{x-3}[/tex]
which is the same as writing f(x) = ( sqrt(2x-6) )/(x-3)
The key for now is the square root term. Specifically, the stuff underneath. This stuff is called the radicand.
Recall that the radicand cannot be negative, or else the square root stuff will result in a complex number. Eg: [tex]\sqrt{-4} = 0+2i[/tex]
The question is basically asking: what is the smallest x such that [tex]\sqrt{2x-6}[/tex] is a real number?
Well if we made 2x-6 as small as possible, ie set it equal to 0, then we can find the answer
[tex]2x-6 = 0\\\\2x = 6\\\\x = 6/2\\\\x = 3\\\\[/tex]
I set the radicand equal to 0 because that's as small as the radicand can get (otherwise, we're dipping into negative territory).
So 2x-6 set equal to 0 leads to x = 3.
This means x = 3 produces the smallest radicand (zero) and therefore, it is the smallest allowed x value for that square root term.
But wait, if we tried x = 3 in f(x), then we get...
[tex]f(x) = \frac{\sqrt{2x-6}}{x-3}\\\\f(3) = \frac{\sqrt{2*3-6}}{3-3}\\\\f(3) = \frac{\sqrt{0}}{0}\\\\[/tex]
which isn't good. We cannot have 0 in the denominator. Dividing by zero is not allowed. The result is undefined. It doesn't even lead to a complex number. So we'll need to bump x = 3 up to x = 4. You should find that x = 4 doesn't make the denominator 0.
----------------
In short, we found that x = 3 makes the square root as small as possible while staying a real number, but it causes a division by zero error with f(x) overall. So we bump up to x = 4 instead.
Let h(x)=20e^kx where k ɛ R (Picture attached. Thank you so much!)
Answer:
A)
[tex]k=0[/tex]
B)
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 2k + 1& = 2\ln 20 + 1 \\ &\approx 2.3863\end{aligned}[/tex]
C)
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} k - 3&= \ln \frac{1}{2} - 3 \\ &\approx-3.6931 \end{aligned}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the function:
[tex]\displaystyle h(x) = 20e^{kx} \text{ where } k \in \mathbb{R}[/tex]
A)
Given that h(1) = 20, we want to find k.
h(1) = 20 means that h(x) = 20 when x = 1. Substitute:
[tex]\displaystyle (20) = 20e^{k(1)}[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]1= e^k[/tex]
Anything raised to zero (except for zero) is one. Therefore:
[tex]k=0[/tex]
B)
Given that h(1) = 40, we want to find 2k + 1.
Likewise, this means that h(x) = 40 when x = 1. Substitute:
[tex]\displaystyle (40) = 20e^{k(1)}[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]\displaystyle 2 = e^{k}[/tex]
We can take the natural log of both sides:
[tex]\displaystyle \ln 2 = \underbrace{k\ln e}_{\ln a^b = b\ln a}[/tex]
By definition, ln(e) = 1. Hence:
[tex]\displaystyle k = \ln 2[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]2k+1 = 2\ln 2+ 1 \approx 2.3863[/tex]
C)
Given that h(1) = 10, we want to find k - 3.
Again, this meas that h(x) = 10 when x = 1. Substitute:
[tex]\displaystyle (10) = 20e^{k(1)}[/tex]
Simplfy:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} = e^k[/tex]
Take the natural log of both sides:
[tex]\displaystyle \ln \frac{1}{2} = k\ln e[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]\displaystyle k = \ln \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]\displaystyle k - 3 = \ln\frac{1}{2} - 3\approx-3.6931[/tex]
Add the first 12 terms of this sequence:
15, 45, 135, 405, 1215, ...
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a₁ = 15
a₂/a₁ = 45/15 = 3
a₃/a₂ = 135/45 = 3
...
It is a geometric sequence with a common ratio r=3.
Sum of first 12 terms = a₁·(1-r¹²)/(1-r)

(3b^3)^2 = _b^_
We can seperate (3b³) into two different parts, the constant and the variable.
The constant (3) and the variable (b) can both be squared and multiplied to get the correct answer, so:
3² = 9
(b³)² = [tex]b^{6}[/tex]
So, [tex](3b^{3})^{2} = 9b^{6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle can be defined as a two-dimensional shape that comprises three (3) sides, three (3) vertices and three (3) angles.
Simply stated, any polygon with three (3) lengths of sides is a triangle.
In Geometry, a triangle is considered to be the most important shape.
Generally, there are three (3) main types of triangle based on the length of their sides and these include;
I. Equilateral triangle: it has all of its three (3) sides and interior angles equal.
II. Isosceles triangle: it has two (2) of its sides equal in length and two (2) equal angles.
III. Scalene triangle: it has all of its three (3) sides and interior angles different in length and size respectively.
In Geometry, an acute angle can be defined as any angle that has its size less than ninety (90) degrees.
Hence, we can deduce that the greatest number of acute angles that a triangle can contain is three (3) because the sum of all the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
Wesley is making a patio from stones of two sizes, 5 inch wide and 10 inch wide. He wants to begin and end his pattern with a 10 inch stone so there will be one more of the 10 inch stones than of 5inch stones. His patio will be 130 inches wide.
How many 10 inch stones will Wesley need for one row?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the number of 10-inch stones, then (x-1) is the number of 5-inch stones, and the total width is ...
10x +5(x-1) = 130
15x -5 = 130 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
15x = 135 . . . . . . add 5
x = 9 . . . . . . . divide by 15
Wesley will need 9 10-inch stones for one row.
In a study on the time that
a student required to obtain a college degree is randomly selected to 80
students and it is discovered that they have an average of 4.8 years (according to data from the National
Center for Education Statistics). Assuming s 2.2 years, construct an estimate of a confidence interval of the population mean. The confidence interval
the result contradicts the fact that 39% of students get their college degree in four years?
The 95% confidence interval of the population mean, in years, is (4.3, 5.3). 4 years is not part of the confidence interval, which means that it contradicts the fact that 39% of students get their college degree in four years.
-----------------------------
To solve this question, we need to find the confidence interval for the amount of time it takes the students to get the degree.
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.
-----------------------------
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom,which is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 80 - 1 = 79
-----------------------------
95% confidence interval
Standard level of confidence, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 79 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 1.9905.
-----------------------------
The margin of error is:
[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.9905\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{80}} = 0.5[/tex]
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
-----------------------------
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 4.8 - 0.3 = 4.3 years.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 4.8 + 0.3 = 5.3 years.
-----------------------------
The 95% confidence interval of the population mean, in years, is (4.3, 5.3). 4 years is not part of the confidence interval, which means that it contradicts the fact that 39% of students get their college degree in four years.

(b) An economy has an agricultural industry and a textile industry. Each unit of agricultural output requires 0.4 unit of agricultural input and 0.1 unit of textiles input. Each unit of textiles output requires 0.1 unit of agricultural input and 0.2 unit of textiles input.
(i) Write the technology matrix for this economy. [2 marks]
(ii) If surpluses of 5 units of agricultural products and 195 units of textiles are desired, find the gross production of each industry
Leontief input output model (technology matrix) is an economic model that shows the quantitative relationship and sectorial interdependency in a national economy
The responses with regards to the question are;
(i) The technology matrix for the economy is presented as follows;
[tex]\mathbf{ A} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Agric&&Textile\\0.4&&0.1\\&&\\0.1&&0.2\end{array}\right] \begin{array}{ccc}\mathbf{Per \ Unit}\\Agriculture\\\\Textile\end{array}\right][/tex]
(ii) The required gross production of each industry to meet the desired surplus are;
50 units of agriculture and 250 units of textile
The reason the above values are correct is as follows:
(i) The given parameters are;
The industries in the economy = Agricultural industry and textile industry
Units of agricultural input required per unit of agricultural output = 0.4
Units of textile input required per unit of agricultural output = 0.1
Units of agricultural input required per unit of textile output = 0.1
Units of textile input required per unit of textile output = 0.2
Let X represent agriculture, and let Y represent textile, we have;
[tex]Agric \ for \ agric = \dfrac{0.4 \ units \ of \ agriculture}{1\ unit \ of \ agric \ produced} \times X \ Agric \ produced= 0.4 \cdot X[/tex]
[tex]Agric \ for \ textile = \dfrac{0.1 \ units \ of \ agriculture}{1\ unit \ of \ textile \ produced} \times Y \ textile \ produced= 0.1 \cdot Y[/tex]
We also have;
Textile for agriculture = 0.1·X
Textile for textile = 0.2·Y
Therefore;
X = 0.4·X + 0.1·Y
Y = 0.1·X + 0.2·Y
Therefore;
The technology matrix for the economy is presented as follows;
[tex]\mathbf{Technology \ matrix, A} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Agric&&Textile\\0.4&&0.1\\&&\\0.1&&0.2\end{array}\right] \begin{array}{ccc}\mathbf{Per \ Unit}\\Agriculture\\\\Textile\end{array}\right][/tex]
(ii) Let P represent the production vector, and let d represent the demand vector, we have;
[tex]P = \left[\begin{array}{c}X \\Y\end{array}\right][/tex], [tex]d = \left[\begin{array}{c}5 \\195\end{array}\right][/tex]
P = A·P + d
∴ P - A·P = d
Therefore;
[tex]P = \mathbf{ \dfrac{d}{(I - A)}}[/tex]
Where I = The 2 by 2 identity matrix
We get;
[tex]I - A =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&&0\\&&\\0&&1\end{array}\right] - \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.4&&0.1\\&&\\0.1&&0.2\end{array}\right] = \mathbf{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.6&&-0.1\\&&\\-0.1&&0.8\end{array}\right]}[/tex]
With the use of a graphing calculator, we have;
[tex]P =\left[\begin{array}{c}X \\Y\end{array}\right] = \dfrac{\left[\begin{array}{c}5 \\195\end{array}\right]}{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.6&&-0.1\\&&\\-0.1&&0.8\end{array}\right]} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}50\\\\\ 250\end{array}\right][/tex]

Answer:
In a residual plot against x that does NOT suggest we should challenge the assumptions of our regression model, we would expect to see a _____.
c. horizontal band of points centered near 0
Step-by-step explanation:
This residual graph or plot shows the residual values (or the difference between the observed y-value (from scatter plot) and the predicted y-value (from regression equation line) on the vertical axis and displays the independent variable on the horizontal axis. A linear regression model becomes appropriate for a dataset when the points are randomly dispersed around the horizontal axis near 0; otherwise, a nonlinear model becomes more appropriate.

What do you mean by normal distribution ?
A probability distribution known as a "normal distribution" shows that data are more likely to occur when they are close to the mean than when they are far from the mean.
Let assume the time taken for a one way trip be x .
x ⇒ N( μ , σ ²)
x ⇒ N( 24 , 3.8 ²)
a)
The probability that trip will take at least 1/2 hour or 30 minutes will be :
P ( x ≥ 30)
= P [ (x - μ) / σ ≥ (30 - μ) / σ ]
We know that , (x - μ) / σ = z.
= P [ z ≥ (30 - 24) / 3.8)]
= P [ z ≥ 1.578 ]
= 1 - P [ z ≤ 1.578 ]
Now , using the standard normal table :
P ( x ≥ 30)
= 1 - 0.9394
= 0.0606
b)
The percentage of the time the lawyer is late for work will be :
P ( x ≥ 15)
= P [ z ≥ -2.368 ]
= P [ z ≤ 2.368]
= 0.9918
or
99.18%
c)
The probability that lawyer misses coffee :
P ( 15 < x < 25 ) = P ( x < 25 ) - P ( x < 15)
= P [ z < 0.263] - P ( z < -2.368)
or
= 0.3659
d)
The length of time above which we find the slowest 10% of trips :
P( x ≥ X ) ≤ 0.10
= 0.5438
e)
Let's assume that y represents the number of trips that takes at least half hour.
y ⇒ B ( n , p)
y ⇒ B ( 3 , 0.0606)
So , the probability that exactly 2 out of 3 trips will take at least one half
1/2 hour is :
P ( Y = 2 )
= 3C2 × (0.0606)² × ( 1 - 0.0606)
= 0.0103
Therefore , the answers are :
a) The probability that trip will take at least 1/2 hour will be 0.0606.
b) The percentage of time the lawyer is late for work will be 99.18%.
c) The probability that lawyer misses coffee will be 0.3659.
d) The length of time above which we find the slowest 10% of trips will be 0.5438.
e) The probability that exactly 2 out of 3 trips will take at least one half
1/2 hour is 0.0103.
