If f(x)=ax+b/x and f(1)=1 and f(2)=5, what is the value of A and B?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{a=9 ; b = -8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{ax+b}{x}[/tex]

Putting x = 1

=> [tex]f(1) = \frac{a(1)+b}{1}[/tex]

Given that f(1) = 1

=> [tex]1 = a + b[/tex]

=> [tex]a+b = 1[/tex]  -------------------(1)

Now,

Putting x = 2

=> [tex]f(2) = \frac{a(2)+b}{2}[/tex]

Given that f(2) = 5

=> [tex]5 = \frac{2a+b}{2}[/tex]

=> [tex]2a+b = 5*2[/tex]

=> [tex]2a+b = 10[/tex]  ----------------(2)

Subtracting (2) from (1)

[tex]a+b-(2a+b) = 1-10\\a+b-2a-b = -9\\a-2a = -9\\-a = -9\\a = 9[/tex]

For b , Put a = 9 in equation (1)

[tex]9+b = 1\\Subtracting \ both \ sides \ by \ 9\\b = 1-9\\b = -8[/tex]

HELP PLEASE!! I have been working on this for about three hours!!

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the slope

m = ( y2-y1)/ ( x2-x1)

   = (60-64)/( 10-0)

   = -6/10

   = -2/5

The y intercept is (0,64)

The slope intercept form of the equation is

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -2/5 x + 64  where y is in the thousands of feet

m = -2/5 * 1000 = -400 ft / minute

The height decreases since the sign is negative

The height decreases 400 ft per minute

The y intercept is (0,64)

64 is in the thousands of ft

64*1000 = 64,000 ft

When it starts, it is at 64,000 ft

The descent starts at a cruising altitude of 64,000 ft

Suppose that you want to estimate the mean pH of rainfalls in an area that suffers from heavy pollution due to the discharge of smoke from a power plant. Assume that σ is in the neighborhood of .5 pH and that you want your estimate to lie within .1 of µ with probability near .95. Approximately how many rainfalls must be included in your sample (one pH reading per rainfall)? Would it be valid to select all of your water specimens from a single rainfall? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

The  number of rainfalls is [tex]n =96[/tex]

The answer to the second question is  no it will not be valid this because from the question we are told that the experiment require one pH reading per rainfall so getting multiply specimens(used for the  pH reading) from  one rainfall will make the experiment invalid.

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question we are told that

    The  standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 0.5[/tex]

     The  margin of error is  [tex]E = 0.1[/tex]

Given that the confidence level is  95%  then we can evaluate the level of significance as

                  [tex]\alpha = 100 - 95[/tex]

                  [tex]\alpha = 5 \%[/tex]

                 [tex]\alpha =0.05[/tex]

Next we will obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table , the value is  [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

           [tex]n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} * \sigma }}{ E} ]^2[/tex]

substituting values

             [tex]n = [\frac{1.96 * 0.5 }{ 0.1} ]^2[/tex]

            [tex]n =96[/tex]

The answer to the second question is  no the validity is null this because from the question we are told that the experiment require  one pH reading per rainfall so getting multiply specimens(used for the  pH reading) from  one rainfall will make the experiment invalid

here [tex]\frac{1}{3^n}[/tex]  is converges this is because common ratio in geometric series

here r is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]  and here it satisfy that -1 < r < 1

so it is converges

and

Answer:Amount = Rs 13891.50Compound interest = Rs 1891.50

Step-by-step explanation:

C = Amount (A) - Principal (P)

Where

C is the compound interest

To find the amount we use the formula

[tex]A = P ({1 + \frac{r}{100} })^{n} [/tex]

where

P is the principal

r is the rate

n is the period / time

From the question

P = Rs 12, 000

r = 5%

n = 3 years

Substitute the values into the above formula

That's

[tex]A = 12000 ({1 + \frac{5}{100} })^{3} \\ A = 12000(1 + 0.05)^{3} \\ A = 12000 ({1.05})^{3} [/tex]

We have the answer as

Amount = Rs 13891.50

Compound interest = 13891.50 - 12000

Compound interest = Rs 1891.50

Sherina wrote and solved the equation. x minus 56 = 230. x minus 56 minus 56 = 230 minus 56. x = 174. What was Sherina’s error?

Answers

Answer:

  subtracting 56 instead of adding (or adding wrong)

Step-by-step explanation:

She wrote ...

  x - 56 = 230

  x - 56 - 56 = 230 -56 . . . . correct application of the addition property*

  x = 230 -56 . . . . . . . . . . . . incorrect simplification

Correctly done, the third line would be ...

  x -112 = 174

This would have made Sherina realize that the error was in subtracting 56 instead of adding it. The correct solution would be ...

  x - 56 + 56 = 230 + 56 . . . using the addition property of equality

  x = 286 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . correct simplification on both sides

__

There were two errors:

  1) incorrect strategy --- subtracting 56 instead of adding

  2) incorrect simplification --- simplifying -56 -56 to zero instead of -112

We don't know whether you want to count the error in thinking as the first error, or the error in execution where the mechanics of addition were incorrectly done.

_____

* The addition property of equality requires the same number be added to both sides of the equation. Sherina did that correctly. However, the number chosen to be added was the opposite of the number that would usefully work toward a solution.

Answer:

D: Sherina should have added 56 to both sides of the equation.

The sample data support the claim that the population mean is not equal to 88.9.

There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the population mean is not equal to 88.9.

Answers

Answer:

There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the population mean is not equal to 88.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following hypothesis below;

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean.

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 88.9      {means that the population mean is equal to 88.9}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu\neq[/tex] 88.9     {means that the population mean is different from 88.9}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation;

                             T.S.  =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~  [tex]t_n_-_1[/tex]

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean = 81.3

             s = sample standard deviation = 13.4

            n = sample size = 7

So, the test statistics =  [tex]\frac{81.3-88.9}{\frac{13.4}{\sqrt{7} } }[/tex]   ~ [tex]t_6[/tex]

                                     =  -1.501

The value of t-test statistics is -1.501.

Also, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;

                    P-value = P([tex]t_6[/tex] < -1.501) = 0.094

Since the P-value of our test statistics is more than the level of significance as 0.094 > 0.01, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as the test statistics will not fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the population mean is equal to 88.9.

Answers

Answer:

ray is the answer for this

opposite rays form a line because they provide the two opposite directions in which the line extends infinitely.

Opposite rays form a what?

Opposite rays are two rays that have the same endpoint but extend in opposite directions. When these opposite rays are extended infinitely in both directions, they form a straight line. A line is a set of points that extends infinitely in both directions, and opposite rays provide the two distinct directions in which the line can be extended.

The concept of opposite rays is derived from the concept of a line. A line can be defined as a straight path that extends infinitely in both directions. Opposite rays are a pair of rays that share a common endpoint and extend infinitely in opposite directions along this line.

For example, consider a line segment AB. If we extend one side of the line segment from point A and the other side from point B, we obtain two opposite rays: one from point A to infinity and the other from point B to infinity. Together, these opposite rays form the line on which the line segment AB lies.

[tex]X=\begin{bmatrix}5\\ 14\\ -10\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Our approach here is to isolate X, and simplify this solution. We want to begin by subtracting matrix 2, as shown below, from either side - the first step in isolating X. Afterwards we can multiply either side by the inverse of matrix 1, the co - efficient of X, such that X is now isolated. We can then simplify this value.

Given,

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}1&2&3\\ -3&5&5\\ \:\:\:3&-2&-1\end{bmatrix}[/tex] : Matrix 1

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}3\\ -1\\ 8\end{bmatrix}[/tex] : Matrix 2

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}1&2&3\\ -3&5&5\\ 3&-2&-1\end{bmatrix}X+\begin{bmatrix}3\\ -1\\ 8\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}6\\ 4\\ 5\end{bmatrix}[/tex] ( Subtract Matrix 2 from either side )

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}1&2&3\\ -3&5&5\\ 3&-2&-1\end{bmatrix}X=\begin{bmatrix}6\\ 4\\ 5\end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix}3\\ -1\\ 8\end{bmatrix}[/tex] ( Simplify )

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}6\\ 4\\ 5\end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix}3\\ -1\\ 8\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}6-3\\ 4-\left(-1\right)\\ 5-8\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}3\\ 5\\ -3\end{bmatrix}[/tex] ( Substitute )

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}1&2&3\\ -3&5&5\\ 3&-2&-1\end{bmatrix}X=\begin{bmatrix}3\\ 5\\ -3\end{bmatrix}[/tex] ( Multiply either side by inverse of Matrix 1 )

[tex]X=\begin{bmatrix}1&2&3\\ -3&5&5\\ 3&-2&-1\end{bmatrix}^{-1}\begin{bmatrix}3\\ 5\\ -3\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}5\\ 14\\ -10\end{bmatrix}[/tex] - let's say that this is Matrix 3. Our solution would hence be Matrix 3.

Answers:Angle 1 and angle 8 are alternate exterior angles (so are angle 5 and angle 4; but you only need to pick one pair)Angle 1 and angle 3 are corresponding angles (there are 3 other possible answers. See the second section below)Angle 2 and angle 7 are alternate interior angles (so are angle 3 and angle 6; but you only need to pick one pair)

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

Explanations:

For the sake of simplicity, imagine that lines m and n are parallel. They don't necessarily need to be in order to answer this problem, but it might help with the terminology better.

When we use the term "interior" we basically mean the region between or inside the parallel lines. So "exterior" is everything but that, which is composed of two separate regions that don't overlap. Exterior angles shown in this diagram are

angle 1, angle 5, angle 4, angle 8

The "alternate" refers to the idea that we're on alternate sides of the transversal cutting line. One pair of alternate exterior angles is angle 1 and angle 8. We have angle 1 below the transversal while angle 8 is on the opposite side and above the transversal. For similar reasoning, angles 5 and 4 are alternate exterior angles as well.

---------------------------------

Notice how each line crosses to form an X shape, producing 4 angles that share the same common vertex point. For instance, angles 1, 5, 6 and 2 are all around the same point.

Angle 1 and angle 3 are corresponding angles because they

a) are to the left of each parallel line (m and n)b) both below the transversal line

So in short, they are both in the same corner of each four corner angle configuration. They are both in the bottom left corner. This is the full list of all corresponding angle pairs

angle 1 and angle 3angle 2 and angle 4angle 5 and angle 7angle 6 and angle 8

---------------------------------

As stated in the first section above, the interior region is between the parallel lines. Alternate interior angles alternate being above and below the transversal line.

So this applies to angle 2 and angle 7. It also works for angle 3 and angle 6.

A postulate is assumed to be a fact and used to derive conclusions about any argument .A definition is a brief explanatory statement of a term.A theorem is a statement that can be proved to be true by using given, definitions, postulates or prior proved theorems .

Here, Statement 1:If parallel lines have a transversal, then corresponding angles are congruent.

which is a fact, and hence it is postulate.

Statement 2: A line has an infinite number of points extending in opposite directions.

which is an explanatory statement of a 'line', hence it is 'definition.

So the correct option is Statement 1: postulate; Statement 2: definition

Answer:statement 1 and statement 2 postulate

-40=-8(x+2) solve the equation

Answers

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-40 = -8 (x + 2)

-8 (x + 2) = -40   --- divide both sides by - 8

-8 (x + 2)           -40

--------------   =   ----------

      -8                  -8

x + 2 = 5    --- subtract 2 from both sides

x + 2 - 2 = 5 - 2   then simplify

x = 3

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write out the equation as you have been given it:

[tex]-40=-8(x+2)[/tex]

Then distribute the -8 to the terms inside the parenthesis:

[tex]-40=-8x-16[/tex]

Next, add 16 to both sides:

[tex]-40+16=-8x-16+16\\-24=-8x[/tex]

Finally, divide both sides by -8:

[tex]\frac{-24}{-8}=\frac{-8x}{-8}\\3=x[/tex]

Therefore, x=3.

Describe in words how you would solve the linear system y = 3x + 1 and y = - 2x + 3.

Answers

We are using substitution to solve this problem.

y=3x+1
y=-2x+3
Make these equal each other: 3x+1=-2x+3
Add 2x to both sides: 3x+2x+1=-2x+2x+3
= 5x+1=3
Subtract 1 from both sides; 5x+1-1=3-1
= 5x=2
Divide 5 from both sides: 5x/5=2/5
X= 2/5
Plug X into one of the equations: y=3(2/5) +1
y=11/5(2.2)

Chen is bringing fruit and veggies to serve at an afternoon meeting. He spends a total of $28.70 on 5 pints of cut veggies and 7 pints of cut fruit. The food cost is modeled by the equation 5 v plus 7 f equals 28.70, where v represents the cost of one pint of cut veggies and f represents the cost of one pint of cut fruit. If the cost of each pint of fruit is $2.85, what is the approximate price of a pint of veggies?

Answers

Answer:

(7 x 2.85) + 5v = 28.70. 19.95 + 5v = 28.70. 5v = 28.70 - 19.95. 5v = 8.75. v = 8.75/5. v = 1.75. A pint of veggies costs $1.75.
