A function f(x) has solutions if we can find a value to plug in that leads to 0. In other words, there are solutions to f(x) = 0. Another term for "solution" is "root" or "x intercept"
An exponential function may cross the x axis at one point only. Though there are plenty of cases when there are no solutions at all. For instance, in the case of f(x) = (2^x) + 10
The right hand side will never be equal to zero no matter what you plug in for x. The graph will never cross the axis.
To answer your question, yes it is possible to have an exponential equation to have no solutions.
Answer:
a) The population is 40,858 students and the sample is 100.
b) No
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The population would be the 40,858 members of the student body. Since we are only applying the questionnaire to 100 students, the sample would be 100.
b) 29% of the students answered "zero" to the question on how many days in the past week they consumed at least one alcoholic drink. This means that 29 out of 100 students gave this answer. However, this doesn't mean that 29% of the entire population of UW would give this response. Why is that? Because our sample is very small so it might not be representative of the whole population. Equally, the results from such a sample cannot be exactly the same results we would get from an entire population.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The amount of money separating the lowest 80% of the amount invested from the highest 20% in a sampling distribution of 10 of the family's real estate holdings is $238,281.57.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the amount of money that the family has invested in different real estate properties.
The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Normal distribution with parameters <em>μ</em> = $225,000 and <em>σ</em> = $50,000.
It is provided that the family has invested in <em>n</em> = 10 different real estate properties.
Then the mean and standard deviation of amount of money that the family has invested in these 10 different real estate properties is:
Now the lowest 80% of the amount invested can be represented as follows:
The value of <em>z</em> is 0.84.
*Use a <em>z</em>-table.
Compute the value of the mean amount invested as follows:
Thus, the amount of money separating the lowest 80% of the amount invested from the highest 20% in a sampling distribution of 10 of the family's real estate holdings is $238,281.57.
