Describe the change in the graph of the parabola f(x) when it transforms into g(x) =
1 answer:
Answer:
(d) The parabola g(x) will open in the same direction of f(x), and the parabola will be wider than f(x).
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you intend ...
f(x) = equation of a parabola
g(x) = 2/3·f(x)
Multiplying a function by a factor of 2/3 will cause it to be compressed vertically to 2/3 of its original height. When the function is a parabola, this has the effect of making it appear wider than before the compression.
__
The compression factor is positive, so points on the graph remain on the same side of the x-axis. The direction in which the graph opens is not changed.
The attachment shows parabolas that open upward and downward, along with the transformed version.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a subtraction between polynomials, since both functions are polynomials, hence, to solve the problem with need to perform the subtraction, by coefficients.
By performing the subtraction, we have:
Answer:
a) 51.60% probability that in a given year there will be less than 21 earthquakes.
b) 49.35% probability that in a given year there will be between 18 and 23 earthquakes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:
a) Find the probability that in a given year there will be less than 21 earthquakes.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 21. So
has a pvalue of 0.5160.
So there is a 51.60% probability that in a given year there will be less than 21 earthquakes.
b) Find the probability that in a given year there will be between 18 and 23 earthquakes.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 23 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 18. So:
X = 23
has a pvalue of 0.7611
X = 18
has a pvalue of 0.2676
So there is a 0.7611 - 0.2676 = 0.4935 = 49.35% probability that in a given year there will be between 18 and 23 earthquakes.
