How are functions related to solving linear equations

1 answer:

8 0

A linear function is a function with the form f(x) = ax' + b. It looks like a regular linear equation, but instead of using y, the linear function notation is f(x). To solve a linear function, you would be given the value of f(x) and be asked to find x.

A programmer plans to develop a new software system. In planning for the operating system that he will use, he needs to estimat

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Using the z-distribution, we have that:

a) A sample of 601 is needed.

b) A sample of 93 is needed.

c) A. Yes, using the additional survey information from part (b) dramatically reduces the sample size.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which z is the z-score that has a p-value of $\frac{1+\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

95% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.95$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975$ , so $z = 1.96$ .

For this problem, we consider that we want it to be within 4%.

Item a:

The sample size is <u>n for which M = 0.04.</u>

There is no estimate, hence $\pi = 0.5$

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}$

$0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.04}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.04}\right)^2$

$n = 600.25$

Rounding up:

A sample of 601 is needed.

Item b:

The estimate is $\pi = 0.96$ , hence:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.96(0.04)}{n}}$

$0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}}{0.04}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}}{0.04}\right)^2$

$n = 92.2$

Rounding up:

A sample of 93 is needed.

Item c:

The closer the estimate is to $\pi = 0.5$ , the larger the sample size needed, hence, the correct option is A.

Suppose that the water level of a river is 34 feet and that it is receding at a rate of 0.5 foot per day. Write an equation for

vivado [14]

Answer:

The equation to represent the rate of receding water level is L = 34 $(0.5)^{d}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The initial level of water in river = 34 feet

The rate of receding water level = 0.5 foot per day

Or, The rate of percentage of receding water level = 50 % per day

Let the level of water after d days = L

Now,

The level of water after d days = initial level of water × ( $(1-\dfrac{\textrm Rate}{100})^{Time}$

I.e L = 34 × ( $(1-\dfrac{\textrm 50}{100})^{d}$

∴ L = 34 × $(0.5)^{d}$

Hence The equation to represent the rate of receding water level is L = 34 $(0.5)^{d}$ . Answer

What is the range of y = (x - 5)^2 – 1?

Setler79 [48]

1. The graph is a parabola.

2. The parabola opens up, because there's no negative number in front of $(x-5)^2$ .

3. The vertext is (5,-1), because of the vertex form.

This means that that -1 will be the least y-value used on the graph and the garph will open up from there.

The range is (-1, infinity) or { y | y > -1 }.
