Answer:

2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

lim ax goes to 0   ( x+ ax)^2 -2 ( x+ax) +1 - ( x^2 -2x+1)

                              --------------------------------------------------

                                                    ax

Simplify the numerator  by foiling the first term and distributing the minus signs

 x^2+ 2ax^2 + a^2 x^2 -2x-2ax +1 -  x^2 +2x-1

 --------------------------------------------------

                   ax

Combine like terms

2ax^2 + a^2 x^2 -2ax  

 --------------------------------------------------

                   ax

Factor out ax

ax( 2x + ax -2)

----------------------

     ax

Cancel ax

2x + ax -2

Now take the limit

lim ax goes to 0  ( 2x + ax -2)

                                  2x +0-2

                                   2x -2

I'll let <em>h</em> = <em>ax</em>, so the limit is

\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{(x+h)^2-2(x+h)+1-(x^2-2x+1)}h

i.e. the derivative of x^2-2x+1.

Expand the numerator to see several terms that get eliminated:

(x+h)^2-2(x+h)+1-(x^2-2x+1)=x^2+2xh+h^2-2x-2h+1-x^2+2x-1=2xh+h^2-2h

So we have

\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{2xh+h^2-2h}h

Since <em>h</em> ≠ 0 (because it is approaching 0 but never actually reaching 0), we can cancel the factor of <em>h</em> in both numerator and denominator, then plug in <em>h</em> = 0:

\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}(2x+h-2)=\boxed{2x-2}

Out of 100 people sampled, 42 had kids. Based on this, construct a 99% confidence interval for the true population proportion of
maksim [4K]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the true population proportion of people with kids is (0.293, 0.547).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\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 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

Out of 100 people sampled, 42 had kids.

This means that n = 100, \pi = \frac{42}{100} = 0.42

99% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.01, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995, so Z = 2.575.  

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.42 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.42*0.58}{100}} = 0.293

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.42 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.42*0.58}{100}} = 0.547

The 99% confidence interval for the true population proportion of people with kids is (0.293, 0.547).

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

<h2>88859.375  &  f(n)= 28000(0.75)×</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

using the information on the problem a function can can be made

f(n)= 28000(0.75)×

where x is the amount of years

plug in 4 for x in the equation to get

f(4)=8859.375
