Answer:

f(-14) = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = ||x||

The ||..|| sign represents the double modulus sign or sign of double absolute value.

The absolute value of any number returns the positive value of that number.

To solve this, we first find the inner modulus or absolute value then we find the outer modulus,

If f(x) = ||x||

Then f(x) = |(|x|)| where |x| represents the inner modulus;

To find f(-14).

The inner modulus is |-14|; This returns positive 14

|-14| = 14

Then we solve for the outer modulus (even though it doesn't change anything)

|14| = 14

So, f(-14) = |(|-14|)|

f(-14) = |14|

f(-14) = 14

In a typical children's soccer game, there is one goal scored approximately every 18 minutes. The number of goals scored follows

Alja [10]

Answer:

2.24

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability formula using a Poisson distribution is:

$P(k\ events) = \frac{\lambda^{k}e^{-\lambda}}{k!} \\\lambda\ is\ the\ average\ number\ of\ events\ per\ interval \\e\ is\ euler's\ number \\k\ is\ the\ number\ of\ events\ you\ want\ to\ calculate$

λ = 90 / 18 = 5 average goals per interval (interval = a game)

So if for example you were interested in the probability of making 2 goals in a game

k = 2

$P(k = 2) = \frac{5^{2}e^{-5}}{2!} = 0.084$

This was just an example,

The standard deviation is $\sqrt{\lambda}$

$\sigma = \sqrt{\lambda} \\\sigma = \sqrt{5} \\\sigma = 2.24$

A function rule takes an input, and converts it into an output, y, by decreasing twice the input by 4. what is the output for th

Harman [31]

Answer:

when the input = 4

Then the output = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

It is stated that a function rule takes an input, and converts it into an output, y, by decreasing twice the input by 4.

Let 'x' be the number

Decreasing twice the number 'x' by 4 = 2x-4

Now,

Given the input x = 5

As the output will decrease twice the input (x=5) by 4

Thus, the output = 2(5)-4 = 10-4 = 6

Therefore,

when the input = 4

Then the output = 6

What is the simplest form of the expression below?

sineoko [7]

Answer:

(B) cot Theta

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify the expression:

$\dfrac{cot\theta cos\theta}{sin\theta } X\dfrac{tan\theta}{\frac{sin\theta}{cos\theta tan \theta} }$

Now:

$\dfrac{ cos\theta}{sin\theta } =cot\theta\\\dfrac{ sin\theta}{cos\theta }=tan \theta\\$Substituting these into the expression\\\dfrac{cot\theta cos\theta}{sin\theta } X\dfrac{tan\theta}{\frac{sin\theta}{cos\theta tan \theta} }=cot\theta cot\theta X\dfrac{tan\theta}{\frac{tan\theta}{ tan \theta} }\\=cot\theta cot\theta X tan\theta$ (Since cot\theta X tan\theta =1) \\$Therefore our result:\\=cot\theta$
