Imagine you measure the length of 15 cars, and then sum that length, in order to see how big a parking lot must be. You do this in two different ways. First, you use the same bad tape measure for each car so that your measurement is always 1 cm too long, or always too short, for all of the measurements. For your second attempt, you use a different bad tape measure for each car, so there is an uncertainty of plus or minus 1cm in each measurement. What is your estimate of the total error in the sum of all the car lengths in these two cases

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

± 15 cm  

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first case, since the measurement is 1 cm too long or too short, the error is ± 1 cm.

In the second case, the uncertainty or error is also ± 1 cm.

Now, since there are 15 cars, and there is an error of ± 1 cm in each measurement, by the error formula the total error in the sum of both cases is 15 × ±1 cm = ± 15 cm  

So, the total error in both cases is ± 15 cm.

The chances of drawing a red marble are 5/11

Since you replace the marble you drew, the chances each draw remain 5/11

You cannot draw two red marbles without drawing a red marble on your first draw, so the odds of you making a second draw are 5/11. The odds of that also being red are 5/11… but we only care about that 5/11ths the time

Which proportional relationship has the greatest rate of change?

Answers

Answer:

Option (1)  ;   y = 7x

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) reads y = 7x, a line with slope 7, therefore the rate of change in this is 7

(2) says that y increases 12 units every time that x increases 4 Then the rate of change is: (increase in y / increase in x = 12/4 =3

(3) shows a table from which we can see that an increase of y in 8 corresponds to an increase of x in 2:  rate of change = (8 - 0) , (2 - 0) = 4

(4) shos a line with slope (rate of change) given by:  (12 - 0) / (2 - 0) = 12/2 = 6

Therefore, the greatest rate of change is shown by the first expression

Answer:

1. x = 65

2. x = 40

3. x = -7

4. x = -4

5. x = -7

6. x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles in a triangle always add up to 180 degrees.

Thus, for each triangle you can write an equation setting the sum of the three angles equal to 180, and solving for x.

1. 180 = 80 + 35 + x

   180 - (80 + 35) = x

   180 - 115 = x

   65 = x

2. 180 = 70 + 70 + x

   180 - (70 + 70) = x

   180 - 140 = x

   40 = x

3.  180 = 76 + 41 + (x+ 70)

    180 - (76 + 41) = x + 70

    180 - 117 = x + 70

    63 = x + 70

    63 - 70 = x

    -7 = x    

4. (the red square means its a right angle = 90 degrees)

   180 = 90 + 25 + (x + 69)

   180 - (90 + 25) = x + 69

   180 - 115 = x + 69

   65 = x + 69

   65 - 69 = x

   x = -4

5. 180 = 50 + (57 +x) + (x + 87)

   180 - 50 = (57 +x) + (x + 87)

    130 = (57 +x) + (x + 87)

  combine like terms

  130 =  144 + 2x  

  130 - 144 = 2x

  -14 = 2x

   -7 = x

6. 180 = 80 + (9x + 4) + (16x - 4)

   180 - 80 = (9x + 4) + (16x - 4)

   100 = (9x + 4) + (16x - 4)

   combine like terms

    100 = 25x + 0

    100 = 25x

    4 = x

Which of the following is not true about the inverse of f (x) = = 3x+5
2

Answers

Answer Before defining the inverse of a function we need to have the right mental image of function.

Consider the function f(x) = 2x + 1. We know how to evaluate f at 3, f(3) = 2*3 + 1 = 7. In this section it helps to think of f as transforming a 3 into a 7, and f transforms a 5 into an 11, etc.

Now that we think of f as "acting on" numbers and transforming them, we can define the inverse of f as the function that "undoes" what f did. In other words, the inverse of f needs to take 7 back to 3, and take -3 back to -2, etc.

Let g(x) = (x - 1)/2. Then g(7) = 3, g(-3) = -2, and g(11) = 5, so g seems to be undoing what f did, at least for these three values. To prove that g is the inverse of f we must show that this is true for any value of x in the domain of f. In other words, g must take f(x) back to x for all values of x in the domain of f. So, g(f(x)) = x must hold for all x in the domain of f. The way to check this condition is to see that the formula for g(f(x)) simplifies to x.

g(f(x)) = g(2x + 1) = (2x + 1 -1)/2 = 2x/2 = x.

This simplification shows that if we choose any number and let f act it, then applying g to the result recovers our original number. We also need to see that this process works in reverse, or that f also undoes what g does.

f(g(x)) = f((x - 1)/2) = 2(x - 1)/2 + 1 = x - 1 + 1 = x.

Letting f-1 denote the inverse of f, we have just shown that g = f-1.

Definition:

Let f and g be two functions. If

f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x,

then g is the inverse of f and f is the inverse of g.

Exercise 1:

Return to Contents

Finding Inverses

Example 1. First consider a simple example f(x) = 3x + 2.

The graph of f is a line with slope 3, so it passes the horizontal line test and does have an inverse.

There are two steps required to evaluate f at a number x. First we multiply x by 3, then we add 2.

Thinking of the inverse function as undoing what f did, we must undo these steps in reverse order.

The steps required to evaluate f-1 are to first undo the adding of 2 by subtracting 2. Then we undo multiplication by 3 by dividing by 3.

Therefore, f-1(x) = (x - 2)/3.

Steps for finding the inverse of a function f.

Replace f(x) by y in the equation describing the function.

Interchange x and y. In other words, replace every x by a y and vice versa.

Solve for y.

Replace y by f-1(x).

Example 2.  f(x) = 6 - x/2

Step 1 y = 6 - x/2.

Step 2 x = 6 - y/2.

Step 3 x = 6 - y/2.

y/2 = 6 - x.

y = 12 - 2x.

Step 4 f-1(x) = 12 - 2x.

Step 2 often confuses students. We could omit step 2, and solve for x instead of y, but then we would end up with a formula in y instead of x. The formula would be the same, but the variable would be different. To avoid this we simply interchange the roles of x and y before we solve.

Example 3.  f(x) = x3 + 2

This is the function we worked with in Exercise 1. From its graph (shown above) we see that it does have an inverse. (In fact, its inverse was given in Exercise 1.)

Step 1 y = x3 + 2.

Step 2 x = y3 + 2.

Step 3 x - 2 = y3.

(x - 2)^(1/3) = y.

Step 4 f-1(x) = (x - 2)^(1/3).

Graph f(x) = 1 - 2x3 to see that it does have an inverse. Find f-1(x). Answer

If the volume of a cone with the same height as a cylinder equals the volume of the cylinder, the equation for the radius of cone Rin terms of the radius of cylinder r is: ​

Answers

Answer: R = √(3*r^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

For a cylinder with radius r and height H, the volume is:

V = pi*r^2*H

For a cone of height H, and with a base of radius R, the volume is:

V = (1/3)*pi*R^2*H

In this case, we know that both figures have the same height, and the same volume, then we can write:

pi*r^2*H = (1/3)*pi*R^2*H

Now we can divide by pi in both sides to get:

(pi*r^2*H)/pi = ((1/3)*pi*R^2*H)/pi

r^2*H = (1/3)*R^2*H

Now we can divide both sides by H:

(r^2*H)/H = ((1/3)*R^2*H)/H

r^2 = (1/3)*R^2

Now we want to write R in terms of r.

Then we need to isolate R in the above equation:

r^2 = (1/3)*R^2

3*r^2 = R^2

√(3*r^2) = R

R = √(3*r^2)
