Which of the following is an asymptote of y = sec(x)?
2 answers:
Answer: option d. x = 3π/2
Solution:
function y = sec(x)
1) y = 1 / cos(x)
2) When cos(x) = 0, 1 / cos(x) is not defined
3) cos(x) = 0 when x = π/2, 3π/2, 5π/2, 7π/2, ...
4) limit of sec(x) = lim of 1 / cos(x).
When x approaches π/2, 3π/2, 5π/2, 7π/2, ... the limit →+/- ∞.
So, x = π/2, x = 3π/2, x = 5π/2, ... are vertical asymptotes of sec(x).

Answer:
The null hypothesis:
The alternative hypothesis:
Test statistics : z = −2.30
P-value: = 0.02144
Decision Rule: Since the p-value is lesser than the level of significance; then we reject the null hypothesis.
Conclusion: We accept the alternative hypothesis and conclude that under the same circumstances the proportion of offspring peas will be yellow is not equal to 0.27
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information:
Let's state the null and the alternative hypothesis;
Since The claim is that 27% of the offspring peas will be yellow.
The null hypothesis state that the proportion of offspring peas will be yellow is equal to 0.27.
i.e
The alternative hypothesis state that the proportion of offspring peas will be yellow is not equal to 0.27
<u>The test statistics:</u>
we are given 437 green peas and 129 yellow apples;
Hence;
where ;
= sample proportion
x = number of success
n = total number of the sample size
Now; the test statistics can be computed as :
z = −2.30
C. P-value
P-value = P(Z < z)
P-value = P(Z< -2.30)
By using the P-value method and the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution.
from the table of standard normal distribution
move left until the first column is reached. Note the value as –2.0
move upward until the top row is reached. Note the value as 0.30
find the probability value as 0.010724 by the intersection of the row and column values gives the area to the left of
z = -2.30
P- value = 2P(z ≤ -2.30)
P-value = 2 × 0.01072
P - value = 0.02144
Decision Rule: Since the p-value is lesser than the level of significance; then we reject the null hypothesis.
Conclusion: We accept the alternative hypothesis and conclude that under the same circumstances the proportion of offspring peas will be yellow is not equal to 0.27
Answer:
-1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
What are parallel lines?
Lines that are parallel never touch. They can extend infinitely and they will still never touch. In order for this to happen the slope of the two lines must be the same. So if we want to find the slope of every line that is parallel to the line on the graph, we simply find the slope of the line of the graph.
Finding the slope
We can find the slope using the following formula:
Where the x and y values are derived from any given points on the line (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
Here the given points are (-5,-1) and (0,-2)
So we have (x1,y1) = (-5,-1) meaning x1 = -5 and y1 = -1
We also have (x2,y2) = (0,-2) meaning x2 = 0 and y2 = -2
Now we plug these values into the formula
Recall formula :
==> Plug in x1 = -5 , y1 = -1 , x2 = 0 and y2 = -2
==> simplify numerator and denominator
So the slope of the line is -1/5
This means the slope of any parallel line to that line would also have a slope of -1/5
