A plastic sun visor allows light to pass through but reduces the intensity of the light. the intensity is reduced by 5% if the p

lastic is 1mm thick each additional millimetre of thickness reduces the intensity by another 5%
Use an equation to model the relation between the thickness of the plastic and the intensity of light

Answer: The equation is f(x) = 0.95^{x};

The piece of plastic has to have 10mm of thickness.

Step-by-step explanation: It is known that with 1 mm of thickness, 5% of the intensity is reduced. So, 95% of the light is transmitted.

For each milimetre added, "more" 95% of light is transmitted.

For example, if another milimetre of plastic is added, another 0.95 of light is transmitted:

0.95.0.95 = 0.9025 of light reach the visor

So, the model that relate thickness of plastic and intensity of light is:

f(x) = 0.95^{x}

in which:

f(x) is the intensity of light;

x is thickness in mm;

Using the equation, the thickness necessary to reduce intensity to 60% is:

f(x) = 0.95^{x}

0.6 = 0.95^{x}

log 0.6 = log 0.95^{x}

x. log (0.95) = log (0.6)

x = \frac{log 0.6}{log 0.95}

x = 9.95

x ≈ 10

The thickness necessary to reduce intensity of light to 60% is 10mm.

Find x on the triangle
iragen [17]

Answer:

(c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos42°  = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{x}{12}

Multiply both sides by 12

12 × cos42° = x, hence

x ≈ 8.9 → (c)

Which of the following could be a function with zeros of —3 and 2? А f(x) = (x - 3)(x + 2) B f(x) = (x = 3)(x - 2) © f(x) = (x+3
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the zeros you look at what value you would fill in for x to make zero, so (x+3) would have a zero of -3 and (x-2) would have a zero of 2

Please please help!!!! According to the probability distribution below, what is the expected value of X? X 0 1 2 3 4 5 P(X) 0.3
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

D.) The expected value is 1.78

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of a probability distribution is evaluated using the formula.

Expected Value, E(X)=\sum^{n}_{i=1}x_iP(x_i)

Therefore, from the given probability distribution, we have:

E(X)=(0*0.3)+(1*0.2)+(2*0.16)+(3*0.2)+(4*0.04)+(5*0.1)

E(X)=1.78

The Expected value of X is 1.78.

The correct option is D.

Help plzzz<br>Select the correct answer.<br>​

<h3>Answer:  C) 3</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

f(x) is the outer function, so the final output -8 corresponds to f(x)

We see that f(-4) = -8 in the first column of the table. I'm starting with the output and working my way backward to get the input. So we started with -8 and worked back to -4.

Then we move to the g(x) function to follow the same pattern: start with the output and move to the input. We start at -4 in the g(x) bubble and move to 3 in the x bubble.

In short, g(3) = -4

So,

f(g(x)) = f(g(3)) = f(-4) = -8

We see that x = 3 leads to f(g(x)) = -8
