Consider the following graphs (1 and 2), and answer the questions FOR EACH GRAPH:
A) In what interval of the graph is it increasing, decreasing and constant? This answer must be justified by means of the definition
B) What is the domain and range?
C) Is it an odd or even function? This answer must be justified by means of the definition
Answers
Graph 1
Part (a)
The function is increasing when x > 0. The function is decreasing when x < 0.
The function is never constant
An increasing portion is when the graph goes uphill when moving left to right. A decreasing portion goes in the opposite direction: it goes downhill when moving left to right.
The reason why the function is never constant is because there aren't any flat horizontal sections. Such sections are when x changes but y does not. No such sections occur.
------------------------
Graph 1
Part (b)
Domain = set of all real numbers
Range = set of y values such that [tex]y \ge 0[/tex]
The domain is the set of all real numbers because we can plug in any value for x without any restriction. There are no division by zero errors to worry about, or square roots of negative numbers to worry about either.
The range is the set of nonnegative numbers as the graph indicates. The lowest y gets is y = 0.
------------------------
Graph 1
Part (c)
The function is even
The function f(x) = 1.6x^12 is an even function due to the even number exponent. For any polynomial, as long as the exponents are all even, then the function itself is even. If all the exponents were odd, then the function would be odd. This applies to polynomials only. A power function is a specific type of polynomial.
Note in the graph, we have y axis symmetry. The mirror line is vertical and placed along the y axis. This is a visual trait of any even function.
We could use algebra to show that f(-x) = f(x) like so
f(x) = 1.6x^12
f(-x) = 1.6(-x)^12
f(-x) = 1.6x^12
The third step is possible because (-x)^12 = x^12 for all real numbers x. It's similar to how (-x)^2 = x^2. You could think of it like (-1)^2 = (1)^2
============================================================
Graph 2
Part (a)
The function is decreasing when x < 0 and when x > 0
The function is never increasing
The function is never constant
In other words, the function is decreasing over the entire domain (see part b). The only time it's not decreasing is when x = 0.
The function is decreasing because the curve is going downhill when moving to the right. You can think of it like a roller coaster of sorts.
At no point of this curve goes uphill when moving to the right. Therefore, it is never increasing. The same idea applies to flat horizontal sections, so there are no constant intervals either.
------------------------
Graph 2
Part (b)
Domain: x is any real number but [tex]x \ne 0[/tex]
Range: y is any real number but [tex]y \ne 0[/tex]
Explanation: If we tried plugging x = 0 into the function, we get a division by zero error. This doesn't happen with any other number. Therefore, the set of allowed inputs is any number but 0.
The range is a similar story. There's no way to get y = 0 as an output.
If we plugged y = 0 into the equation, then we'd get this
y = 17x^(-3)
0 = 17/(x^3)
There's no way to have the right hand side turn into 0. The numerator is 17 and won't change. Only the denominator changes. We can't have the denominator be 0.
------------------------
Graph 2
Part (c)
The function is odd
We can prove this by showing that f(-x) = -f(x)
f(x) = 17x^(-3)
f(-x) = 17(-x)^(-3)
f(-x) = 17* ( -(x)^(-3) )
f(-x) = -17x^(-3)
f(-x) = -f(x)
This is true for nearly all real numbers x, except we can't have x = 0.
Graphic 1:
(A) If f(x) = 1.6x ¹², then f '(x) = 19.2x ¹¹. Both f '(x) and x have the same sign, which means
• for -∞ < x < 0, we have f '(x) < 0, so that f(x) is decreasing on this interval
• for 0 < x < ∞, we have f '(x) > 0, so f(x) is increasing on this interval
f(x) is not constant anywhere on its domain.
(B) Speaking of domain, since f(x) is a polynomial (albeit only one term), it has
• a domain of all real numbers
• a range of {y ∈ ℝ : y = f(x) and y ≥ 0} (in other words, all real numbers y such that y = 1.6x ¹² and y is non-negative)
(C) This function is even, since
f(-x) = 1.6 (-x)¹² = (-1)¹² × 1.6x ¹² = 1.6x ¹² = f(x)
Graphic 2:
(A) Now if f(x) = 17/x ³, then f '(x) = -51/x ⁴. Because x ⁴ ≥ 0 for all x, this means f '(x) < 0 everywhere, except at x = 0. So f(x) is decreasing for (-∞ < x < 0) U (0 < x < ∞).
(B) f(x) has
• a domain of {x ∈ ℝ : x ≠ 0} (or all non-zero real numbers)
• a range of {y ∈ ℝ : y = f(x) and y ≠ 0} (also all non-zero reals)
(C) This function is odd:
f(-x) = 17/(-x)³ = 1/(-1)³ × 17/x ³ = -17/x ³ = -f(x)

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf x \approx 1.9}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find x, a missing side in a triangle.
This is a right triangle because there is a small square in the corner representing a 90 degree or right angle. Therefore, we can use right triangle trigonometry. The three main functions are:
sinθ= opposite/hypotenuse cosθ= adjacent/hypotenuse tanθ= opposite/adjacentExamine the triangle. We will use angle S, measuring 54 degrees, for theta. Side QR, measuring x, is opposite angle S. Side QS, measuring 2.3, is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle. Since we have the opposite and hypotenuse, we will use sine.
[tex]sin \theta = \frac {opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]
θ= 54opposite= x hypotenuse = 2.3[tex]sin (54)= \frac{ x}{2.3}[/tex]
We are solving for x, so we must isolate the variable. It is being divided by 2.3 The inverse operation of division is multiplication, so we multiply both sides by 2.3
[tex]2.3* sin (54)= \frac{x}{2.3}*2.3[/tex]
[tex]2.3* sin (54)=x[/tex]
[tex]2.3*0.8090169944=x[/tex]
[tex]1.860739087 =x[/tex]
Round to the nearest tenth. The 6 in the hundredth place to the right tells us to round the 8 up to a 9.

a test for diabetes results in a positive test in 95% of the cases where the disease is present and a negative test in 07% of the cases where the disease is absent. if 10% of the population has diabetes, what is the probability that a randomly selected person has diabetes, given that his test is positive
Answers
Answer:
0.9378 = 93.78% probability that a randomly selected person has diabetes, given that his test is positive.
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
In this question:
Event A: Positive test
Event B: Person has diabetes.
Probability of a positive test:
0.95 out of 0.1(person has diabetes).
0.007 out of 1 - 0.1 = 0.9(person does not has diabetes). So
[tex]P(A) = 0.95*0.1 + 0.007*0.9 = 0.1013[/tex]
Probability of a positive test and having diabetes:
0.95 out of 0.1. So
[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.95*0.1 = 0.095[/tex]
What is the probability that a randomly selected person has diabetes, given that his test is positive?
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.095}{0.1013} = 0.9378[/tex]
0.9378 = 93.78% probability that a randomly selected person has diabetes, given that his test is positive.

The scores of a high school entrance exam are approximately normally distributed with a given mean Mu = 82.4 and standard deviation Sigma = 3.3. What percentage of the scores are between 75.8 and 89?
Answers
Notice that
75.8 = 82.4 - 6.6 = 82.4 - 2 × 3.3
89 = 82.4 + 6.6 = 82.4 + 2 × 3.3
Then the percentage of students with scores between 75.8 and 89 make up the part of the distribution that lies within 2 standard deviations of the mean. The empirical (68-95-99.7) rule says that approximately 95% of any distribution lies within this range.

About 12.5% of restaurant bills are incorrect. If 200 bills are selected at ran- dom, find the probability that at least 22 will contain an error. Is this likely or unlikely to occur
Answers
Answer:
0.7734 = 77.34% probability that at least 22 will contain an error. Probability above 50%, which means that this is likely to occur.
Step-by-step explanation:
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.
Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].
About 12.5% of restaurant bills are incorrect.
This means that [tex]p = 0.125[/tex]
200 bills are selected at random
This means that [tex]n = 200[/tex]
Mean and standard deviation:
[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 200*0.125 = 25[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{200*0.125*0.875} = 4.677[/tex]
Find the probability that at least 22 will contain an error.
Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \geq 22 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 21.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 21.5. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{21.5 - 25}{4.677}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.75[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.75[/tex] has a p-value of 0.2266.
1 - 0.2266 = 0.7734
0.7734 = 77.34% probability that at least 22 will contain an error. Probability above 50%, which means that this is likely to occur.

Mean = ΣX / n = 1825 / 25 = 73
The mode = 71 ( most frequently occurring)
Median = 1/2(n+1)th term = 1/(26) = 13th term
Median = 73

51, 55, 56, 59, 65, 67, 68, 69, 69, 74, 75, 76, 77, 77, 79, 79, 79, 86, 87, 89, 90, 91, 91, 95, 98
Mean = ΣX / n = 1902 / 25 = 76.08
The mode = 79 ( most frequently occurring)
Median = 1/2(n+1)th term = 1/(26) = 13th term
Median = 77
According to the computed statistics, we can conclude that, today is worse than the past as the average score which is almost similar to the median value is higher 10 years ago and the modal score is better 10 years ago as well.

a1 = 5
an = 4 an-1
Let n = 2
a2 = 4 * a1 = 4*5 = 20
Let n = 3
a3 = 4 * a2 = 4*20 = 80
Let n = 4
a4 = 4 * a3 = 4*80 = 320
A population of deer in Florida grows according to a logistic model, with r = 0.17 and K = 10,000. At what population size is the per capita population growth rate the highest? Group of answer choices N = 1000 N = 5000 N = 8000 N = 10000
Answers
Answer:
N = 1000
Step-by-step explanation:
The population growth of species per capita of any geographical can be computed by using the formula:
[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}=rN (1 - \dfrac{N}{K})[/tex]
here;
N = population chance
T = time taken
K = carrying capacity
r = the constant exponential growth rate
From the given equation, we can posit that the value of r will be the greatest at the time the value of dN is highest:
As such, when the population chance = 1000
[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}=0.17 * 1000 (1 - \dfrac{1000}{10000})[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}=0.17 * 1000 (0.9)[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}= 153[/tex]
At N = 5000;
[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}= 85[/tex]
At N= 8000;
[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}= 34[/tex]
At N = 10000
[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}= 0[/tex]
