Answer:

y=90x+2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

90 is the rate of change because the hot air balloon descends 90 feet per minute.

And 2,000 is the starting point because the hot air balloon started the descent at 2,000 feet.

Answer:

y(t)=(-90\frac{feet}{minute})t+2000feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the linear function in the form

y=mx+b

We are going to represent the situation using the linear function.

We are going to call the variable ''x'' time. We can write x = t ⇒

y=mt+b

y(t) will be the altitude function that depends on the variable ''t'' that is time in minutes.

In the instant t=0minutes the hot air balloon has an altitude of 2000 feet ⇒

y(0)=2000feet=m(0)+b=b ⇒ b=2000feet

We can think that the slope ''m'' is the constant rate of the function.

Given that the hot air balloon descends, m ⇒m=-90\frac{feet}{minute}

Now we write the function :

y=mt+b\\

y(t)=(-90\frac{feet}{minute})t+2000feet

For example, when t = 0 ⇒

y(0)=(-90\frac{feet}{minute}).0+2000feet=2000feet

Or if we want to find the time when the hot air balloon finally descends :

0=(-90\frac{feet}{minute})t+2000feet

t=\frac{-2000feet}{-90\frac{feet}{minute}}=22.222minutes

A sequence of 1 million iid symbols(+1 and +2), Xi, are transmitted through a channel and summed to produce a new random variabl
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

E(w) = 1600000

v(w) = 240000

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

sequence = 1 million iid  (+1 and +2)

probability of transmitting a +1 =  0.4

solution

sequence will be here as

P{Xi = k } = 0.4              for k = +1

                  0.6              for k = +2

and define is

x1  + x2 + ................ + X1000000

so for expected value for W

E(w) = E( x1  + x2 + ................ +  X1000000 )   ......................1

as per the linear probability of expectation

E(w) = 1000000 ( 0.4 × 1 + 0.6 × 2)

E(w) = 1600000

and

for variance of W

v(w) = V ( x1  + x2 + ................ + X1000000 )    ..........................2

v(w) = V x1  + V x2 + ................  + V  X1000000

here also same as that xi are i.e d so cov(xi, xj ) = 0 and i ≠ j

so

v(w) = 1000000 ( v(x) )

v(w) = 1000000 ( 0.24)

v(w) = 240000

Determine whether the given graph is a function or not
Alex777 [14]

Answer: yes is it a function

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph is a function when there is only one y value for each x value. You can also use the vertical line test. This example is a “quadratic function”.
