Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]p(x)[/tex] and [tex]q(x)[/tex] have the same domain and the same range.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]p(x) = 6-x[/tex] and

[tex]q(x) = 6x[/tex]

First of all, let us have a look at the definition of domain and range.

Domain of a function [tex]y =f(x)[/tex] is the set of input value i.e. the value of [tex]x[/tex] for which the function [tex]f(x)[/tex] is defined.

Range of a function [tex]y =f(x)[/tex] is the set of output value i.e. the value of [tex]y[/tex] or [tex]f(x)[/tex] for the values of [tex]x[/tex] in the domain.

Now, let us consider the given functions one by one:

[tex]p(x) = 6-x[/tex]

Let us sketch the graph of given function.

Please find attached graph.

There are no values of [tex]x[/tex] for which p(x) is not defined so domain is All real numbers.

So, domain is [tex](-\infty, \infty)[/tex] or [tex]x\in R[/tex]

Its range is also All Real Numbers

So, Range is [tex](-\infty, \infty)[/tex] or [tex]x\in R[/tex]

[tex]q(x) = 6x[/tex]

Let us sketch the graph of given function.

Please find attached graph.

There are no values of [tex]x[/tex] for which [tex]q(x)[/tex] is not defined so domain is All real numbers.

So, domain is [tex](-\infty, \infty)[/tex] or [tex]x\in R[/tex]

Its range is also All Real Numbers

So, Range is [tex](-\infty, \infty)[/tex] or [tex]x\in R[/tex]

Hence, the correct answer is:

[tex]p(x)[/tex] and [tex]q(x)[/tex] have the same domain and the same range.

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

If f(x) and [tex]f^{-1}[/tex] are inverse functions, then

f([tex]f^{-1}[/tex])(x) = x

Thus substitute x = [tex]f^{-1}[/tex] (x) into f(x)

f([tex]\frac{x+6}{5}[/tex] )

= 5 ([tex]\frac{x+6}{5}[/tex] ) - 6

= x + 6 - 6

= x

Thus f(x) and [tex]f^{-1}[/tex] (x) are inverse functions

ASAP Which graph has a correlation coefficient, r, closest to 0.75?

Answers

Answer:

C. Graph C

Step-by-step explanation:

In a scatter plot, a positive correlation coefficient suggests that as one variable increases the other increases as well, or as one decreases, the other decreases.

Also, the more clustered the data points are along the line of best fit, the higher the value of the coefficient, whether positive or negative.

Graph C shows a positive correlation because as the variable on the x-axis increases, the variable on the y-axis also increases. The data points are more clustered along the line if best fit, if we draw one. This suggest a positive correlation coefficient (r) as strong as 0.75.

Graph C has a correlation coefficient, r, that is closer to 0.75.

Each side of a quilt square measures approximately 4.25 inches. If there are about 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch, how long is each side of the square in centimeters? Use complete sentences to explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer: approximately 10.8 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a square, where each side measures approx. 4.25 in

Now we know that 1in ≈ 2.54 cm

Then, in 4.25 in, we have 4.25 times 1 inch, so we have 4.25 times the length of 2.54 cm

So the approximate measure of the sides in centimeters is:

4.25*(2.54)cm = 10.8 cm

So we have that each side measures approximately 10.8 centimeters

Suppose babies born in a large hospital have a mean weight of 3316 grams, and a standard deviation of 324 grams. If 83 babies are sampled at random from the hospital, what is the probability that the mean weight of the sample babies would differ from the population mean by greater than 54 grams?

Answers

Answer: 0.129

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]\overline{X}[/tex] denotes a random variable that represents the mean weight of babies born.

Population mean : [tex]\mu= \text{3316 grams,}[/tex]

Standard deviation: [tex]\text{324 grams}[/tex]

Sample size = 83

Now, the probability that the mean weight of the sample babies would differ from the population mean by greater than 54 grams will be :

[tex]P(|\mu-\overline{X}|>54)=1-P(\dfrac{-54}{\dfrac{324}{\sqrt{83}}}<\dfrac{\overline{X}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}<\dfrac{-54}{\dfrac{324}{\sqrt{83}}})\\\\=1-[P(-1.518<Z<1.518)\ \ \ [Z=\dfrac{\overline{X}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}]\\\\=1-[P(Z<1.518)-P(z<-1.518)]\\\\=1-[P(Z<1.518)-(1-P(z<1.518))]\\\\=1-[2P(Z<1.518)-1]=2-2P(Z<1.518)\\\\=2-2(0.9355)\ [\text{By z-table}]\\\\=0.129[/tex]

Answer:

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since angle 'a' is the inscribed angle of the given triangle

Therefore, angle measure of the intercepted arc will be equal to the double of the inscribed angle.

x = 2a ⇒ a = [tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex]

By the tangent-chord theorem,

"Angle between a chord and tangent measure the half of the angle measure of intercepted minor arc"

[tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex] = 40°

Therefore, a = [tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex] = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

A test for the difference between two population means is to be performed.

As the population variances are known, the z-test will be used.

The hypothesis can be defined as follows:

H₀: μ₁ = μ₂ vs. Hₐ: μ₁ ≠ μ

Assume that the significance level of the test is, α = 0.05.

The critical region can be defined as follows:

The critical value of z for α = 0.05 is:

[tex]z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025} =-1.96\\\\z_{1-\alpha/2}=z_{1-0.05/2}=z_{0.975} =1.96[/tex]

If x denotes the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap and y denotes the cost of an order of spiced potatoes, what are the equations needed to solve this problem?

Answers

Answer:

a) What is the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap?

$10.99

b) What is the cost of one order of spiced potatoes?

$4.99

c) If x denotes the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap and y denotes the cost of an order of spiced potatoes, what are the equations needed to solve this problem?

3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1

5x + 4y = $74.91 ................Equation 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap and y denotes the cost of an order of spiced potatoes,

Cost of a chicken sharwarma wrap = x

Cost of an order of spiced potatoes = y

Ms. Ironperson ordered 3 chicken shawarma wraps and 2 orders of spiced potatoes for a total bill of $42.95.

3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1

Mr. Thoro ordered 5 chicken shawarma wraps and 4 orders of spiced potatoes for a total bill of $74.91.

5x + 4y = $74.91 ................Equation 2

Hence, the Equations needed to solve the question is:

3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1

5x + 4y = $74.91 ................Equation 2

We use Elimination method to solve for this.

Multiply Equation 1 by coefficient of x in Equation 2

Equation 2 by coefficient of x in Equation 1

3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1 × 5

5x + 4y = $74.91 ................Equation 2 × 3

15x + 10y = 214.75..............Equation 3

15x + 12y = 224.73..............Equation 4

Subtract Equation 3 from Equation 4

2y = 9.98

y = 9.98/2

y = 4.99

Therefore, y = Cost of an order of spiced potatoes = $4.99

Subtitute 4.99 for y in Equation 1

3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1

3x +2(4.99) = 42.95

3x + 9.98 = 42.95

3x = 42.95 - 9.98

3x = 32.97

x = 32.97/3

x = 10.99

x = Cost of a chicken sharwarma wrap = $10.99

Therefore,

The cost of a chicken sharwarma wrap = $10.99

The cost of an order of spiced potatoes = $4.99

Find secα, if sinα=−2/3 and 3π/2 <α<2π . Also the α=alpha symbol

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sinα=−2/3, before we can get secα, we need to get the value of α first from  sinα=−2/3.

[tex]sin \alpha = -2/3[/tex]

Taking the arcsin of both sides

[tex]sin^{-1}(sin\alpha) = sin^{-1} -2/3\\ \\\alpha = sin^{-1} -2/3\\ \\\alpha = -41.8^0[/tex]

Since sin is negative in the 3rd and 4th quadrant. In the 3rd quadrant;

α = 180°+41.8°

α = 221.8° which is between the range 270°<α<360°

secα = sec 221.8°

secα = 1/cos 221.8

secα = 1.34

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that hours (h) varies inversely with age (a) then the equation relating them is

To find k use the condition h = 52 when a = 20, thus

h = [tex]\frac{1040}{a}[/tex] ← equation of variation

Find the missing side or angle.
Round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

b=2.7

Step-by-step explanation:

using sine rule,,,

Step-by-step explanation:

So for this problem, we need the missing angle A. From there, we can use the law of sines to compute length of b.

So the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180. With that in mind, we can make an equation to fine the measure of angle A.

53 + 80 + A = 180

133 + A = 180

A = 47

Now that we have the angle of A, we can use the law of sines to fine the length of b.

b / sin(B) = a / sin(A)

b = sin(B) * a / sin(A)

b = sin(80) * 2 / sin(47)

b = 2.693

Now round that to the nearest tenth to get

b = 2.7
