For each function, determine if it intersects or is parallel to the line y=−1.5x. If it intersects the line, find the intersection point. y=0.5x−6
Answer: the intersection point is (2.4, -4.8)
Step-by-step explanation:
A) we have the function:
y = 0.5*x - 6.
First we want to know if this function intersects the line y´ = -1.5*x
Now, first we can recall that two lines are parallel only if the slope is the same for both lines, here we can see that the slopes are different, so the lines are not parallel, which means that the lines must intersect at some point.
Now, to find the intersection point we asumme y = y´ and want to find the value of x.
0.5*x - 6 = -1.5*x
(0.5 + 1.5)*x - 6 = 0
2.5*x = 6
x = 6/2.5 = 2.4
Now, we evaluate one of the functions in this value of x.
y = 0.5*2.4 - 6 = -4.8
So the intersection point is (2.4, -4.8)

what is the area of the shaded region between the two z-scores indicated in the diagram? z=-1.24 and z= 0.84
Answer:
0.6921 (69.21%)
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the shaded region between the two z-scores refer to the probability between the two z-scores value( The total area under a standard normal distribution curve is 1)
So the area we want to determine in this case is as follows;
P(-1.24<z<0.84) = P(z<0.84) - P(z<-1.24)
What we use to calculate this finally is the standard normal distribution table
We use this to get these values so we can calculate the probability.
Using the standard normal distribution table;
P(-1.24<z<0.84) = 0.69206 which is approximately 0.6921

How does the frequency of f(x) = cos(2x) relate to the frequency of the parent function cos x?
Answer:
The frequency of f(x) is two times the frequency of the parent function.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can say that the number that is beside the x is equal to [tex]2\pi *f[/tex], where f is the frequency.
Then, for the parent function, we get:
[tex]1 = 2\pi f_1[/tex]
or solving for [tex]f_1[/tex]:
[tex]f_1=\frac{1}{2\pi }[/tex]
At the same way, for f(x), we get:
[tex]2=2\pi f_2\\f_2=2(\frac{1}{2\pi })[/tex]
But [tex]\frac{1}{2\pi }[/tex] is equal to [tex]f_1[/tex], so we can write the last equation as:
[tex]f_2=2f_1[/tex]
It means that the frequency of f(x) is two times the frequency of the parent function.
slope=4/3 find the equation of the parallel line through (5,5)
Answer:
[tex]y=\frac{4}{3}x-1.75[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
If the slope of a line is 4/3,
and we wanna find the equation of a line that is parallel to it and crosses through (5,5).
So we already have the slope because the slope of 2 parallel lines are the same.
y = 4/3x
Look at the image below↓
So now we just need to find the y-intercept.
After some numbers we got,
[tex]y=\frac{4}{3}x-1.75[/tex]
Look at the other image below↓
Thus,
the equation of the parallel line is [tex]y=\frac{4}{3}x-1.75[/tex].

High temperatures in a certain city for the month of August follow a uniform distribution over the interval LaTeX: 61^{\circ}F61 ∘ Fto LaTeX: 91^{\circ}F91 ∘ F. Find the high temperature which 90% of the August days exceed.
Answer:
The required probability for the high temperature which 90% of the August days exceed. is 0.0333
Step-by-step explanation:
High temperatures in a certain city for the month of August follow a uniform distribution over the interval 61° F to 91° F . Find the high temperature which 90° F of the August days exceed.
Let assume that X is the random variable
The probability mass function is:
[tex]f(x) = \dfrac{1}{b-a}[/tex]
[tex]f(x) = \dfrac{1}{91-61}[/tex]
[tex]f(x) = \dfrac{1}{30}[/tex]
Thus; The probability density function of X can be illustrated as :
[tex]f(x) = \left \{ {{ \ \ \dfrac{1}{30}} \atop { \limits }}_ \right. _0[/tex] 61 < x < 91 or otherwise
The required probability for the high temperature at 90° F can be calculated as follows:
[tex]P(X> 90) = \int\limits^{91}_{90} {f(x)} \, dx[/tex]
[tex]P(X> 90) = \int\limits^{91}_{90} \ {\dfrac{1}{30} \, dx[/tex]
[tex]P(X> 90) = {\dfrac{1}{30} \int\limits^{91}_{90} \ \, dx[/tex]
[tex]P(X> 90) = {\dfrac{1}{30} [x]^{91}_{90}[/tex]
[tex]P(X> 90) = {\dfrac{1}{30} (91-90)[/tex]
[tex]P(X> 90) = {\dfrac{1}{30} \times 1[/tex]
[tex]P(X> 90) = 0.0333[/tex]
The required probability for the high temperature which 90% of the August days exceed. is 0.0333
A function f is defined by f(x) = 1 + 6x + x2 + 6x3 + x4 + ⋯ that is, its coefficients are c2n = 1 and c2n + 1 = 6 for all n ≥ 0. Find the interval of convergence of the series. Find an explicit formula for f(x).
From the odd-degree terms, take out one copy and rewrite the series as
[tex]1+6x+x^2+6x^3+\cdots=(1+x+x^2+x^3+\cdots)+5x+5x^3+\cdots[/tex]
[tex]1+6x+x^2+6x^3+\cdots=(1+x+x^2+x^3+\cdots)+5x(1+x^2+\cdots)[/tex]
Then if |x| < 1, we can condense this to
[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n+5x\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^{2n}=\frac1{1-x}+\frac{5x}{1-x^2}=\frac{1+6x}{1-x^2}[/tex]
Since the series we invoked here converge on -1 < x < 1, so does this one.
The explicit formula of the function f(x) is [tex]f(x) = \frac{1 + x + 5x}{1-x^2}[/tex]
How to determine the explicit formula?The function definition is given as:
[tex]f(x) = 1 + 6x + x^2 + 6x^3 + x^4 + ...[/tex]
Expand the terms of the expression
[tex]f(x) = 1 + 5x + x + x^2 + 5x^3 + x^3 + x^4 + ...[/tex]
Split
[tex]f(x) = (1 + x + x^2 +x^3 + .....) + 5x + 5x^3 + .. ...[/tex]
Factor out 5x
[tex]f(x) = (1 + x + x^2 +x^3 + .....) + 5x(1 + x^2) + .. ...[/tex]
Express 1 as x^0
[tex]f(x) = (x^0 + x + x^2 +x^3 + .....) + 5x(1 + x^2) + .. ...[/tex]
Express x as x^1
[tex]f(x) = (x^0 + x^1 + x^2 +x^3 + .....) + 5x(1 + x^2) + .. ...[/tex]
Also, we have:
[tex]f(x) = (x^0 + x^1 + x^2 +x^3 + .....) + 5x(x^0 + x^2) + .. ...[/tex]
Rewrite the series using the summation symbol
[tex]f(x) = \sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=0}x^n+ 5x\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=0}x^{2n}[/tex]
The sum to infinity of a geometric progression is:
[tex]S_{\infty} = \frac{a}{1- r}[/tex]
Where:
a represents the first term, and r represents the common ratio
Using the above formula, we have:
[tex]\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=0}x^n = \frac{1}{1 - x}[/tex]
[tex]5x\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=0}x^{2n} = 5x * \frac{1}{1 - x^2} = \frac{5x}{1-x^2}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]f(x) = \frac{1}{1-x}+ \frac{5x}{1-x^2}[/tex]
Take the LCM
[tex]f(x) = \frac{1 + x + 5x}{1-x^2}[/tex]
Evaluate the like terms
[tex]f(x) = \frac{1 + 6x}{1-x^2}[/tex]
Hence, the explicit formula of the function f(x) is [tex]f(x) = \frac{1 + x + 5x}{1-x^2}[/tex]

Derek is building a deck. The sum of the interior angles is 10800 and each interior angle is 1350. How many sides does his deck have
sum of angles = 10800
measurement of a single angle= 1350
Therefore,
No. of sides = sum of angles / single angle
No of sides = 10800 / 1350
No of sides = 8
Answer:
8 sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the sum of the angles is 10,800 degrees, and each angle is 1,350 degrees, the deck will have the number of sides of the sum of the angle measurements divided by each angle's measurements.
10,800 / 1,350 = 1,080 / 135 = 8 sides.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the give information: A new vaccination is being used in a laboratory experiment to investigate whether it is effective. There are 275 subjects in the study. Is there sufficient evidence to determine if vaccination and disease status are related?
Vaccination Status Diseased Not Diseased Total
Vaccinated 53 17 70
Not Vaccinated 62 143 205
Total 115 160 275
In this study, we have two variables ( Vaccination and diseases status ) The null and the alternative hypothesis can be stated as follows:
Null hypothesis: The two variables ( Vaccination and diseases status ) are independent
Alternative hypothesis : The two variables ( Vaccination and diseases status ) are dependent
The Chi-square test statistics can be computed as:
The Expected Values for the table can be calculated by using the formula:
[tex]E_i=\dfrac{row \ total \times column \ total}{grand \ total}[/tex]
Vaccination Status Diseased Not Diseased Total
Vaccinated 29.273 40.727 70
Not Vaccinated 85.727 119.273 205
Total 115 160 275
[tex]Chi - Square \ X^2 = \dfrac{(O_i-E_i)^2}{E_i}[/tex]
Vaccination Status Diseased Not Diseased Total
Vaccinated 19.232 13.823 33.055
Not Vaccinated 6.564 45.573 52.137
Total 25.796 59.396 85.192
Therefore;
the Chi-Square Test Statistics = 85.192
For this study; we two rows and two columns
Therefore, the degree of freedom = (rows-1) × (columns-1)
the degree of freedom = (2 - 1) × (2 - 1)
the degree of freedom = 1 × 1
the degree of freedom = 1
Using the level of significance of ∝ = 0.05 and degree of freedom = 1 for the chi-square test
The p-value for the test statistics = 0.00001
Decision rule: Since the P-value is lesser than the level of significance , therefore we reject the null hypothesis at the level of significance of 0.05
Conclusion:
We accept the alternative hypothesis and conclude that the two variables
(Vaccination and diseases status ) are dependent i.e the vaccination and disease status are related

Step-by-step explanation:
The horizontal row lists the 3 outcomes of the spinner.
The vertial column lists the 2 outcomes of the card selection.
In the resulting sample space of 2x3=6, each table cell should contain the combination of the row value and the column value.
So in the "Orange" column, all cells below it should start with Orange. Same for the other columns.
In the Purple row, each cell should end with Purple.
Only that way, each table cell represents a possible outcome.

Draw a picture of the standard normal curve and shade the area that corresponds to the requested probabilities. Then use the standard normal table to find the following probabilities. Enter the probabilities as decimals. Enter the final answer only. 1.P(z>1.38)= 2.P(1.233 −2.43)= 7.P(z>−2.43)=
Answer:
a)P [ z > 1,38 ] = 0,08379
b) P [ 1,233 < z < 2,43 ] = 0,1012
c) P [ z > -2,43 ] = 0,99245
Step-by-step explanation:
a) P [ z > 1,38 ] = 1 - P [ z < 1,38 ]
From z-table P [ z < 1,38 ] = 0,91621
P [ z > 1,38 ] = 1 - 0,91621
P [ z > 1,38 ] = 0,08379
b) P [ 1,233 - 2,43 ] must be P [ 1,233 < z < 2,43 ]
P [ 1,233 < z < 2,43 ] = P [ z < 2,43 ] - P [ z > 1,233 ]
P [ z < 2,43 ] = 0,99245
P [ z > 1,233 ] = 0,89125 ( approximated value without interpolation)
Then
P [ 1,233 < z < 2,43 ] = 0,99245 - 0,89125
P [ 1,233 < z < 2,43 ] = 0,1012
c) P [ z > -2,43 ]
Fom z-table
P [ z > -2,43 ] = 1 - P [ z < -2,43 ]
P [ z > -2,43 ] = 1 - 0,00755
P [ z > -2,43 ] = 0,99245

A. [tex]x^5+C[/tex]
B. [tex]x^5[/tex]
C. [tex]5x^5+C[/tex]
D. [tex]5x^5[/tex]
Answer:
A. [tex]x^5+C[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a great question! The first thing we want to do here is to take the constant out of the expression, in this case 5. Doing so we would receive the following expression -
[tex]5\cdot \int \:x^4dx[/tex]
We can then apply the power rule " [tex]\int x^adx=\frac{x^{a+1}}{a+1}[/tex] ", where a = exponent ( in this case 4 ),
[tex]5\cdot \frac{x^{4+1}}{4+1}[/tex]
From now onward just simplify the expression as one would normally, and afterward add a constant ( C ) to the solution -
[tex]5\cdot \frac{x^{4+1}}{4+1}\\[/tex] - Add the exponents,
[tex]5\cdot \frac{x^{5}}{5}[/tex] - 5 & 5 cancel each other out,
[tex]x^5[/tex] - And now adding the constant we see that our solution is option a!
Answer:
Answer A
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the property of integrals. You now have [tex]5 x\int\limits\,x^{4}dx[/tex] where the first x next to the 5 stands for multiplication. Let's evaluate it. We get [tex]5 (\frac{x^{5} }{5})[/tex]. From here, we can simplify this into [tex]x^{5}[/tex]. Add the constant of integration, which will give you the answer of [tex]x^{5} + C[/tex].

A group of engineers developed a new design for a steel cable. They need to estimate the amount of weight the cable can hold. The weight limit will be reported on cable packaging. The engineers take a random sample of 48 cables and apply weights to each of them until they break. The 48 cables have a mean breaking weight of 773 lb. The standard deviation of the breaking weight for the sample is 16.1 lb. Find the 95% confidence interval to estimate the mean breaking weight for this type cable.
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval is [tex]768.44 < \mu <777.55[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is n = 48
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = 773 \ lb[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 16.1 \ lb[/tex]
Now given that the confidence level is 95% , then the level of significance is mathematically represented as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 95[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 5 \%[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]
Next we 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]
The reason we are obtaining critical values of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] instead of [tex]\alpha[/tex] is because
[tex]\alpha[/tex] represents the area under the normal curve where the confidence level interval ( [tex]1-\alpha[/tex] ) did not cover which include both the left and right tail while
[tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex]is just the area of one tail which what we required to calculate the margin of error
The margin of error is mathematically represented as
[tex]MOE = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{ \sqrt{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]MOE = 1.96 * \frac{ 16.1 }{ \sqrt{48} }[/tex]
[tex]MOE = 4.555[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval to estimate the mean breaking weight for this type cable is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\= x - MOE < \mu < \= x - MOE[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]773 - 4.555 < \mu < 773 + 4.555[/tex]
[tex]768.44 < \mu <777.55[/tex]

Select the correct answer. Brad is planting flowers in a grid-like pattern in his garden. He is trying to determine the possible numbers of rows and columns in which he can plant his flowers. He determines that two possibilities are 8 rows and 25 columns or 10 rows and 20 columns. What is the constant of proportionality in this inverse variation?
Answer:
[tex]C.\ 200[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Let R represents rows and C represents Columns
When R = 8, C = 25
When R = 10, C = 20
Required
Given that there exist an inverse variation, determine the constant of proportionality;
We start by representing the variation;
[tex]R\ \alpha \ \frac{1}{C}[/tex]
Convert proportion to an equation
[tex]R\ = \ \frac{k}{C}[/tex]
Where k is the constant of proportion;
[tex]R * C\ = \ \frac{k}{C} * C[/tex]
Multiply both sides by C
[tex]R * C\ = k[/tex]
Reorder
[tex]k = R * C[/tex]
When R = 8, C = 25;
The equation [tex]k = R * C[/tex] becomes
[tex]k = 8 * 25[/tex]
[tex]k = 200[/tex]
When R = 10, C = 20;
The equation [tex]k = R * C[/tex] becomes
[tex]k = 10 * 20[/tex]
[tex]k = 200[/tex]
Hence, the concept of proportionality is 200

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the division problem, (28x⁵ + 29x⁴ + 5x³ + 86x² + 56x + 53) by (–4x – 7), find the solution in the attachment below.
The polynomial of a function is expressed as P(x) = Q(x) + R(x)/D(x)
Q(x) is the quotient
R(x) is the remainder
D(x) is the divisor
Accordin gto the divsion, Q(x) = -7x⁴+5x³-10x²-4x-7
R(x) = 4
D(x) = -4x-7
Substituting this functions in the polynomial P(x);
P(x) = -7x⁴+5x³-10x²-4x-7 - 4/4x+7
Eighty percent of the light aircraft that disappear while in flight in a certain country are subsequently discovered. Of the aircraft that are discovered, 63% have an emergency locator, whereas 89% of the aircraft not discovered do not have such a locator. Suppose a light aircraft has disappeared. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) If it has an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will not be discovered? (b) If it does not have an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will be discovered?
Answer:
a) P(B'|A) = 0.042
b) P(B|A') = 0.625
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
80% of the light aircraft that disappear while in flight in a certain country are subsequently discovered
Of the aircraft that are discovered, 63% have an emergency locator,
whereas 89% of the aircraft not discovered do not have such a locator.
From the given information; it is suitable we define the events in order to calculate the probabilities.
So, Let :
A = Locator
B = Discovered
A' = No Locator
B' = No Discovered
So; P(B) = 0.8
P(B') = 1 - P(B)
P(B') = 1- 0.8
P(B') = 0.2
P(A|B) = 0.63
P(A'|B) = 1 - P(A|B)
P(A'|B) = 1- 0.63
P(A'|B) = 0.37
P(A'|B') = 0.89
P(A|B') = 1 - P(A'|B')
P(A|B') = 1 - 0.89
P(A|B') = 0.11
Also;
P(B ∩ A) = P(A|B) P(B)
P(B ∩ A) = 0.63 × 0.8
P(B ∩ A) = 0.504
P(B ∩ A') = P(A'|B) P(B)
P(B ∩ A') = 0.37 × 0.8
P(B ∩ A') = 0.296
P(B' ∩ A) = P(A|B') P(B')
P(B' ∩ A) = 0.11 × 0.2
P(B' ∩ A) = 0.022
P(B' ∩ A') = P(A'|B') P(B')
P(B' ∩ A') = 0.89 × 0.2
P(B' ∩ A') = 0.178
Similarly:
P(A) = P(B ∩ A ) + P(B' ∩ A)
P(A) = 0.504 + 0.022
P(A) = 0.526
P(A') = 1 - P(A)
P(A') = 1 - 0.526
P(A') = 0.474
The probability that it will not be discovered given that it has an emergency locator is,
P(B'|A) = P(B' ∩ A)/P(A)
P(B'|A) = 0.022/0.526
P(B'|A) = 0.042
(b) If it does not have an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will be discovered?
The probability that it will be discovered given that it does not have an emergency locator is:
P(B|A') = P(B ∩ A')/P(A')
P(B|A') = 0.296/0.474
P(B|A') = 0.625
