Suppose a researcher is interested in understanding the variation in the price of store brand milk. a random sample of 36 grocer

y stores is selected from a population and the mean price of store brand milk is calculated. the sample mean is $3.13 with a standard deviation of $0.23. construct a 99% confidence interval to estimate the population mean.

The confidence interval extremities are given by the formula:
m +/- (z · σ / √n)

In your problem:
m = 3.13
<span> σ = 0.23
n = 36
The z-score for a 99% confidence interval is 2.576

Therefore:
</span>m - (z · σ / √n) = 3.13 - (2.576 · 0.23 / √36) = 3.031
<span>m + (z · σ / √n) = 3.13 + (2.576 · 0.23 / √36) = 3.229

Therefore, the confidence interval is (</span>3.031, <span>3.229).</span>

First you have to isolate the y value
to start, subtract 2x on both sides

3y=-2x+9

next, divide by 3

Sophie, Jonah, and Chase have a total of $89 in their wallets. Sophie has $6 less than Chase and Jonah has 3 times what Chase ha
Marrrta [24]
So first you need to find a formula for who has what!

Because nobody said what chase had, chase is our variable!

Chase = x
Sophie = x-6 (six less than Chase so subtraction)
Jonah = x•3 (three times the amount of Chase)

Now you will put all of this in an equation- adding everybody together! The total is 89 so that will be what’s after the equal sign!

Your equation: x+x-6+x•3=89

First you will use PEMDAS, since there are no parentheses or exponents- you’ll do multiplication first!

x+x-6+(x•3)=89
When you multiply that out, you will be left with: x+x-6+3x=89

Second you will add all common terms! Remember- the 3x means there are THREE x’s in that one spot. Take out all x’s in the equation and add them together!

x+x+3x=5x

Now you are left with:
5x-6=89

Now you will solve this like a regular equation! First, you have to move the -6 to the right so you will do the inverse operation (the opposite sign) and add 6 to both sides! 89+6 is 95 and -6+6 is 0, so the 6 on the left cancels out and isn’t there anymore!

Now you have 5x=95. To get the x by itself, you will divide both sides by 5! (Once again, doing the inverse operation! Since 5 and x are being multiplied, you have to divide.)

When you divide, you are left with x=19. In this question, the answer is:

Each person has $19.

Part (a)

The domain is the set of allowed x inputs of a function.

The graph shows that x = 0 is not allowed because of the vertical asymptote located here. It seems like any other x value is fine though.

<h3>Domain: set of all real numbers but x \ne 0</h3>

To write this in interval notation, we can say (-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty) which is the result of poking a hole at 0 on the real number line.

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

The range deals with the y values. The graph makes it seem like it stretches on forever in both up and down directions. If this is the case, then the range is the set of all real numbers.

<h3>Range: Set of all real numbers</h3>

In interval notation, we would say (-\infty, \infty) which is almost identical to the interval notation of the domain, except this time of course we aren't poking at hole at 0.

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

Part (b)

<h3>The x intercepts are x = -4 and x = 4</h3>

We can compact that to the notation x = \pm 4

These are the locations where the blue hyperbolic curve crosses the x axis.

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

Part (c)

<h3>Answer: There aren't any horizontal asymptotes in this graph.</h3>

Reason: The presence of an oblique asymptote cancels out any potential for a horizontal asymptote.

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

Part (d)

The vertical asymptote is located at x = 0, so the equation of the vertical asymptote is naturally x = 0. Every point on the vertical dashed line has an x coordinate of zero. The y coordinate can be anything you want.

<h3>Answer: x = 0 is the vertical asymptote</h3>

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

Part (e)

The oblique or slant asymptote is the diagonal dashed line.

It goes through (0,0) and (2,6)

The equation of the line through those points is y = 3x

If you were to zoom out on the graph (if possible), then you should notice the branches of the hyperbola stretch forever upward but they slowly should approach the "fencing" that is y = 3x. The same goes for the vertical asymptote as well of course.

<h3>Answer:  Oblique asymptote is y = 3x</h3>

Show all work to solve the equation for x. If a solution is extraneous, be sure to identify it in your final answer.
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

There is one extraneous solution at x = 4

The only solution is x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The equation to solve is given as:

\sqrt{x-3}+5=x

In order to solve, we will first isolate the radical part.

<em>Adding -5 on both the sides, we get:</em>

\sqrt{x-3}+5-5=x-5\\\sqrt{x-3}=x-5

<em>Now, squaring both the sides, we get:</em>

(\sqrt{x-3})^2=(x-5)^2\\\\x-3=x^2+25-10x\\\\x^2-10x-x+25+3=0\\\\x^2-11x+28=0\\\\(x-4)(x-7)=0\\\\x=4\ or\ x=7

Now, let us check whether the calculated values satisfy the equations or not.

Plug in 4 and 7 for 'x' and check the value of the equation.

At x=4,

\sqrt{4-3}+5=4\\\sqrt1+5=4\\1+5=4\\6=4

But, 6 is not equal to 4 and hence 4 is not a solution to the given equation. It is an extraneous solution for the given equation.

Now, at x=7

\sqrt{7-3}+5=7\\\sqrt4+5=7\\2+5=7\\7=7(True)

Therefore, x=7 is a solution to the equation.

Hence, there is one extraneous solution at x = 4

The only solution is x=7
