Given the functions f(x) = 3(0.56)^x and g(x) = 6(4)^x

1 answer:

7 0

A) f(x) is decreasing because the base is less than 1.
0.56 is close to 0.5, so its like saying that you are taking half each time, therefore the value is getting smaller.

g(x) is increasing because the base is greater than 1.
you are multiplying by 4 each time, making the value bigger.

B ) The y-intercept is where x=0.
Anything to the '0' power is 1. Therefore the y-intercept is equal to the coefficient in front of each function.
f(x) = 3 , g(x) = 6

C) Just plug in x=4 to each function in a calculator.
f(4) = 0.295
g(4) = 1536

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rationalize the denominator of b. So, multiply the numerator and denominator by $\sqrt{x}$

$b = \frac{(1-2\sqrt{x}) *\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x}*\sqrt{x} }=\frac{1*\sqrt{x} -2\sqrt{x} *\sqrt{x} }{\sqrt{x} *\sqrt{x} }\\\\=\frac{\sqrt{x} -2x}{x}\\$

Now, find a +b

$a +b = \frac{2x+\sqrt{x} }{x}+\frac{\sqrt{x} -2x}{x}\\\\=\frac{2x+\sqrt{x} +\sqrt{x} -2x}{x}$

Combine like terms

$= \frac{2x-2x+\sqrt{x} +\sqrt{x} }{x}\\\\=\frac{2\sqrt{x} }{x}$

Now find (a + b)²

(a +b)² = $(\frac{2\sqrt{x} }{x})^{2}$

$= \frac{2^{2}*(\sqrt{x} )^{2}}{x^{2}}\\\\= \frac{4* x}{x^{2}}\\\\= \frac{4}{x}$

Hint: $\sqrt{x} *\sqrt{x} =\sqrt{x*x}=x$

The obtained answers for the given frequency distribution are:

(a) The formula for the mean in sigma notation is $\bar x =\frac{1}{n} \sum X_i$ where n is the number of observations; $X_i$ are the n observations.

The mean for the given monthly plan price is $16.1.

(b) The frequency distribution for given data is {$9.99 - 2; $10 - 5; $12 - 1; $12.75 - 2; $14.99 - 6; $20 - 4; $25 - 5}

(c) The formula for the mean using the frequency distribution table is $\bar x = \frac{1}{N}\sum f_ix_i$ where $N =\sum f_i$ and on applying this formula for the given data, the mean is $16.1.

(d) The median for the given data is $m_e = 14.99$ , and the mode for the given data is $14.99

<h3>What are the mean, median, and mode for a frequency distribution?</h3>

The frequency distribution has sample observations $x_i$ and frequencies $f_i$ .

Then, the mean is calculated by

$\bar x = \frac{1}{N}\sum f_ix_i$

Where $N =\sum f_i$ (Sum of frequencies)

The median is calculated by

$m_e=\left \{ {{x_{k}} \ if \ n = 2k+1 \atop {\frac{x_{k}+x_{k+1}}{2}} \ if \ n =2k} \right.$

The mode is calculated by

Mode = highest frequency value

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The given list of data is

{$14.99, $12.75, $14.99, $14.99, $9.99, $25, $25, $10, $14.99, $10, $20, $10, $20, $14.99, $10, $25, $20, $12, $14.99, $25, $25, $20, $12.75, $10, $9.99}

(a) Formula for the mean using sigma notation and use it to calculate the mean:

The formula for the mean is

$\bar x =\frac{1}{n} \sum X_i$

Where n = 25; $X_i$ - n observations

On substituting,

Mean $\bar x$

=1/25(14.99+12.75+14.99+14.99+9.99+25+25+10+14.99+10+20+10+20+14.99+10+25+20+12+14.99+25+25+20+12.75+10+9.99)

= 1/25(402.42)

= 16.09 ≅ 16.1

(b) Constructing a frequency distribution for the data:

Cost - frequency - cumulative frequency

$9.99 - 2 - 2

$10 - 5 - 7

$12 - 1 - 8

$12.75 - 2 - 10

$14.99 - 6 - 16

$20 - 4 - 20

$25 - 5 - 25

Sum of frequencies N = 25;

(c) Using frequency distribution, calculating the mean:

The formula for finding the mean using frequency distribution is

$\bar x = \frac{1}{N}\sum f_ix_i$

Where N = 25;

On substituting,

$\bar x$ <em> </em>= 1/25 (2 × 9.99 + 5 × 10 + 1 × 12 + 2 × 12.75 + 6 × 14.99 + 4 × 20 + 5 × 25)

= 1/25 (402.42)

= 16.09 ≅ 16.1

Therefore, the mean is the same as the mean obtained in option (a).

(d) Calculating the median and the mode:

Since N = 25(odd) i.e., 2· 12 + 1; k = (12 + 1)th term = 13th term

So, the median $m_e$ = 14.99. (frequency at 13th term)

Since the highest frequency is 6 occurred by the cost is $14.99,

Mode = 14.99
