Investigate the range of each parent function below over the interval o ranges from least to greatest.<br> Identity function, re
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Here we have the domain:

D = 0 < x < 1

And we want to find the range in that domain for:

1) y = f(x) = x

First, if the function is only increasing in the domain (like in this case) the minimum value in the range will match with the minimum in the domain (and the same for the maximums)

f(0) = 0 is the minimum in the range.

f(1) = 1 is the maximum in the range.

The range is:

0 < y < 1.

2) y = f(x) = 1/x.

In this case the function is strictly decreasing in the domain, then the minimum in the domain coincides with the maximum in the range, and the maximum in the domain coincides with the minimum in the range.

f(0) = 1/0 ---> ∞

f(1) = 1/1

Then the range is:

1 < x.

Notice that we do not have an upper bound.

3) y = f(x) = x^2

This function is strictly increasing, then:

f(0) = 0^2 = 0

f(1) = 1^2 = 1

the range is:

0 < y < 1

4) y = f(x) = x^3

This function is strictly increasing in the interval, then:

f(0) = 0^3 = 0

f(1) = 1^3 = 1

the range is:

0 < y < 1.

5) y = f(x) = √x

This function is well defined in the positive reals, and is strictly increasing in our domain, then:

f(0) = √0 = 0

f(1) = √1 =1

The range is:

0 < y < 1

8x+5y=24<br><br> y=-4x<br><br><br> Solve for y and x
Cloud [144]

Answer:

x= -2           and y= 8

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+5y=24-------A

y=-4x---------B

Putting the value of y from B in A

8x+5(-4x)=24

8x +(-20x)= 24

8x-20x=24

-12x=24

x= -24/12

x=-2--------C   y =-4(-2)=8

US average math SAT scores follow a normal distribution with a mean of 505 and a standard deviation of 112. A sample of 64 enter
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The claim that the scores of UT students are less than the US average is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size = 64

           Standard deviation = 112

           Mean = 505

           Average score = 477

To Find : Test the claim that the scores of UT students are less than the US average at the 0.05 level of significance.

Solution:

Sample size = 64

n > 30

So we will use z test

H_0:\mu \geq 477\\H_a:\mu < 477

Formula : z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z=\frac{505-477}{\frac{112}{\sqrt{64}}}

z=2

Refer the z table for p value

p value = 0.9772

α=0.05

p value > α

So, we accept the null hypothesis

Hence The claim that the scores of UT students are less than the US average is wrong

Gabriele's Pie Shop sold 80 pies last month: 7/10 were apple pies and 1/10 were peach pies. How many pies were neither apple nor
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

16 pies were neither apple nor peach.

Step-by-step explanation:

8/10, or 4/5 of the 80 apple pies were either apple or peach, which 4/5 of 80 is 64. The remaining pies will be neither apple nor peach. 80 - 64 = 16.
