Answer:
A program at a community college can be completed in no fewer than 8 months, but must be completed in less than 11 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The closed dot means the number is equal to and the open dot means the number is less/ greater than
2. The line goes right from the 8 with a closed dot, making x greater than or equal to 8
3. The line goes left from the 11 with an open dot, making x less than ll
4. This means the number must be equal to or greater than 8, and less than 11
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometric distribution represents "the number of failures before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials. This discrete probability distribution is represented by the probability density function:"
Let X the random variable that measures the number os trials until the first success, we know that X follows this distribution:
In order to find the expected value E(1/X) we need to find this sum:
![E(X)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{p(1-p)^{k-1}}{k}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%28X%29%3D%5Csum_%7Bk%3D1%7D%5E%7B%5Cinfty%7D%20%5Cfrac%7Bp%281-p%29%5E%7Bk-1%7D%7D%7Bk%7D)
Lets consider the following series:
And let's assume that this series is a power series with b a number between (0,1). If we apply integration of this series we have this:
(a)
On the last step we assume that
and
, then the integral on the left part of equation (a) would be 1. And we have:
![\int_{0}^b \frac{1}{1-r}dr=-ln(1-b)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cint_%7B0%7D%5Eb%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B1-r%7Ddr%3D-ln%281-b%29)
And for the next step we have:
![\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{b^{k-1}}{k}=\frac{1}{b}\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{b^k}{k}=-\frac{ln(1-b)}{b}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csum_%7Bk%3D1%7D%5E%7B%5Cinfty%7D%20%5Cfrac%7Bb%5E%7Bk-1%7D%7D%7Bk%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bb%7D%5Csum_%7Bk%3D1%7D%5E%7B%5Cinfty%7D%5Cfrac%7Bb%5Ek%7D%7Bk%7D%3D-%5Cfrac%7Bln%281-b%29%7D%7Bb%7D)
And with this we have the requiered proof.
And since
we have that:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
---x = 0, in 2012
-- x = 5, in 2017
Required
Select all possible equations
Because there is a reduction in the population, as time increases; the rate must be less than 1.
An exponential function is represented as:
![f(x) = ab^x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%20%3D%20ab%5Ex)
Where
![b = rate](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=b%20%3D%20rate)
rate > 1 in options (a) and (b) i.e. 1.03
This implies that (a) and (b) cannot be true
For option (c), we have:
![f(x) = 63000(0.97)^x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%20%3D%2063000%280.97%29%5Ex)
Set x = 0
![f(0) = 63000(0.97)^0 = 63000*1=63000\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%280%29%20%3D%2063000%280.97%29%5E0%20%3D%2063000%2A1%3D63000%5C%5C)
Set x = 5
![f(5) = 63000(0.97)^5 = 63000*0.8587=54098.1 \approx 54100](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%285%29%20%3D%2063000%280.97%29%5E5%20%3D%2063000%2A0.8587%3D54098.1%20%5Capprox%2054100)
<em>This is true because the calculated values of f(0) and f(5) correspond to the given values</em>
For option (d), we have:
![f(x) = 52477(0.97)^x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%20%3D%2052477%280.97%29%5Ex)
Set x = 0
![f(0) = 52477(0.97)^0 - 52477* 1 = 52477](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%280%29%20%3D%2052477%280.97%29%5E0%20-%2052477%2A%201%20%3D%2052477)
<em>This is false because the calculated value of f(0) does not correspond to the given value</em>
For option (e), we have:
![f(x) = 63000(0.97)^\frac{1}{5x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%20%3D%2063000%280.97%29%5E%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B5x%7D)
Set x = 0
undefined
<em>This is false because the f(x) is not undefined at x = 0</em>
For option (f), we have:
![f(x) = 52477(0.97)^{5x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%20%3D%2052477%280.97%29%5E%7B5x)
Set x = 0
![f(0) = 52477(0.97)^{5*0} = 52477(0.97)^0 =52477*1= 52477](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%280%29%20%3D%2052477%280.97%29%5E%7B5%2A0%7D%20%3D%2052477%280.97%29%5E0%20%3D52477%2A1%3D%2052477)
<em>This is false because the calculated value of f(0) does not correspond to the given value</em>
<em>From the computations above, only (c) </em>
<em> is true</em>
Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation of g(x), we can substitute the point into each of the equations.
A. g(x) = (1/4x)^2
1 = (1/4 * 2)^2
1 = (1/2)^2
1 = 1/4
This statement is false, so this is not the equation.
B. g(x) = 1/2 * x^2
1 = 1/2 * (2)^2
1 = 1/2 * 4
1 = 2
This statement is false, so this is not the equation.
C. g(x) = 2x^2
1 = 2 * 2^2
1 = 2 * 4
1 = 8
This statement is false, so this is not the equation.
D. g(x) = (1/2x)^2.
1 = (1/2 * 2)^2
1 = 1^2
1 = 1
This statement is true, so this is your answer.
Hope this helps!
