Well you want to add 3/4 , 1 1/2, and 2. Then divide that answer by 12.

Ples help me find slant assemtotes

FrozenT [24]

A polynomial asymptote is a function $p(x)$ such that

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\pm\infty}(f(x)-p(x))=0$

$(y+1)^2=4xy\implies y(x)=2x-1\pm2\sqrt{x^2-x}$

Since this equation defines a hyperbola, we expect the asymptotes to be lines of the form $p(x)=ax+b$ .

Ignore the negative root (we don't need it). If $y=2x-1+2\sqrt{x^2-x}$ , then we want to find constants $a,b$ such that

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}(2x-1+2\sqrt{x^2-x}-ax-b)=0$

We have

$\sqrt{x^2-x}=\sqrt{x^2}\sqrt{1-\dfrac1x}$
$\sqrt{x^2-x}=|x|\sqrt{1-\dfrac1x}$
$\sqrt{x^2-x}=x\sqrt{1-\dfrac1x}$

since $x\to\infty$ forces us to have $x>0$ . And as $x\to\infty$ , the $\dfrac1x$ term is "negligible", so really $\sqrt{x^2-x}\approx x$ . We can then treat the limand like

$2x-1+2x-ax-b=(4-a)x-(b+1)$

which tells us that we would choose $a=4$ . You might be tempted to think $b=-1$ , but that won't be right, and that has to do with how we wrote off the "negligible" term. To find the actual value of $b$ , we have to solve for it in the following limit.

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}(2x-1+2\sqrt{x^2-x}-4x-b)=0$

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}(\sqrt{x^2-x}-x)=\frac{b+1}2$

We write

$(\sqrt{x^2-x}-x)\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{x^2-x}+x}{\sqrt{x^2-x}+x}=\dfrac{(x^2-x)-x^2}{\sqrt{x^2-x}+x}=-\dfrac x{x\sqrt{1-\frac1x}+x}=-\dfrac1{\sqrt{1-\frac1x}+1}$

Now as $x\to\infty$ , we see this expression approaching $-\dfrac12$ , so that

$-\dfrac12=\dfrac{b+1}2\implies b=-2$

So one asymptote of the hyperbola is the line $y=4x-2$ .

The other asymptote is obtained similarly by examining the limit as $x\to-\infty$ .

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-\infty}(2x-1+2\sqrt{x^2-x}-ax-b)=0$

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-\infty}(2x-2x\sqrt{1-\frac1x}-ax-(b+1))=0$

Reduce the "negligible" term to get

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-\infty}(-ax-(b+1))=0$

Now we take $a=0$ , and again we're careful to not pick $b=-1$ .

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-\infty}(2x-1+2\sqrt{x^2-x}-b)=0$

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-\infty}(x+\sqrt{x^2-x})=\frac{b+1}2$

$(x+\sqrt{x^2-x})\cdot\dfrac{x-\sqrt{x^2-x}}{x-\sqrt{x^2-x}}=\dfrac{x^2-(x^2-x)}{x-\sqrt{x^2-x}}=\dfrac
 x{x-(-x)\sqrt{1-\frac1x}}=\dfrac1{1+\sqrt{1-\frac1x}}$

This time the limit is $\dfrac12$ , so

$\dfrac12=\dfrac{b+1}2\implies b=0$

which means the other asymptote is the line $y=0$ .

A sign company charges $28 per yard for each custom made banner. Ms. Gill orders two banners that are each 1 7/8 yards yards lon

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

$896

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Charge of 1 yard for each custom-made banner=$28

Length of 1 piece=15 yards

Length of another piece=2 yards

We have to find that how much money payed by Ms.Gill for all three banners.

According to question

Cost of 15 yards long banner=$420

Cost of 2 piece of 15 yards long banner==$840

Cost of 2 yards long banner==$56

Total cost of 3 piece of banners=840+56=$896

Hence, Ms gill pay for all three banners=$896

Your Welcome;)

A healthcare provider monitors the number of CAT scans performed each month in each of its clinics. The most recent year of data

Rasek [7]

Answer: a. 1.981 < μ < 2.18

b. Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. For this sample, we will use t-distribution because we're estimating the standard deviation, i.e., we are calculating the standard deviation, and the sample is small, n = 12.

First, we calculate mean of the sample:

$\overline{x}=\frac{\Sigma x}{n}$

$\overline{x}=\frac{2.31=2.09+...+1.97+2.02}{12}$

$\overline{x}=$ 2.08

Now, we estimate standard deviation:

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma (x-\overline{x})^{2}}{n-1} }$

$s=\sqrt{\frac{(2.31-2.08)^{2}+...+(2.02-2.08)^{2}}{11} }$

s = 0.1564

For t-score, we need to determine degree of freedom and $\frac{\alpha}{2}$ :

df = 12 - 1

df = 11

$\alpha$ = 1 - 0.95

α = 0.05

$\frac{\alpha}{2}=$ 0.025

Then, t-score is

$t_{11,0.025}$ = 2.201

The interval will be

$\overline{x}$ ± $t.\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$

2.08 ± $2.201\frac{0.1564}{\sqrt{12} }$

2.08 ± 0.099

The 95% two-sided CI on the mean is 1.981 < μ < 2.18.

B. We are 95% confident that the true population mean for this clinic is between 1.981 and 2.18. Since the mean number performed by all clinics has been 1.95, and this mean is less than the interval, there is evidence that this particular clinic performs more scans than the overall system average.

1.Find by factors the square root of 3600<br>2. Find by factors the cube root of 343

Contact [7]

Answer:

1)60

2)7

Step-by-step explanation:

1)The square root of 3600 is 60. It is the positive solution of the equation x2 = 3600. The number 3600 is a perfect square.

2)The cube root of 343 is the number which when multiplied by itself three times gives the product as 343. Since 343 can be expressed as 7 × 7 × 7. Therefore, the cube root of 343 = ∛(7 × 7 × 7) = 7.
