A function h(x) is defined as h(x)=−5/7 x−3. By how much h(x) will decrease/increase, if x decreases by 21?

Answer:

h(x) increases by 15 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

h(x)=\frac{-5x}{7}-3\\ \\

This is nothing but a straight line with slope equal = -5/7

Hence rate of change of y with respect to x =-5/7

Or for a unit increase in we have 5/7 decrease in h(x)

Using the above we find that when x decreases by 21

we have h(x) to increase by 21(5/7)

=15

So y increases by 15 units

lisov135 [29]

Answer: 71 people per year

Step-by-step explanation:

8210 - 7500 = 710

Read this E[2X^2 â€" Y].
djyliett [7]

Looks like a badly encoded/decoded symbol. It's supposed to be a minus sign, so you're asked to find the expectation of 2<em>X </em>² - <em>Y</em>.

If you don't know how <em>X</em> or <em>Y</em> are distributed, but you know E[<em>X</em> ²] and E[<em>Y</em>], then it's as simple as distributing the expectation over the sum:

E[2<em>X </em>² - <em>Y</em>] = 2 E[<em>X </em>²] - E[<em>Y</em>]

Or, if you're given the expectation and variance of <em>X</em>, you have

Var[<em>X</em>] = E[<em>X</em> ²] - E[<em>X</em>]²

→   E[2<em>X </em>² - <em>Y</em>] = 2 (Var[<em>X</em>] + E[<em>X</em>]²) - E[<em>Y</em>]

Otherwise, you may be given the density function, or joint density, in which case you can determine the expectations by computing an integral or sum.

A father is 32 years older than his son. In four years,
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

  • father: 36
  • son: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the son's age now. Then s+32 is the father's age. In 4 years, we have ...

  5(s+4) = (s+32)+4

  5s +20 = s +36 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  4s = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract s+20

  s = 4

The son is now 4 years old; the father, 36.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

In 4 years, the ratio of ages is ...

  father : son = 5 : 1

The difference of their ages at that time is 5-1 = 4 "ratio units". Since the difference in ages is 32 years, each ratio unit must stand for 32/4 = 8 years. That is, the future age ratio is ...

  father : son = 40 : 8

So, now (4 years earlier), the ages must be ...

  father: 36; son: 4.

Factorize 9(a+1)^2-81​
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The answer is 9(a-2)(a+4).

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a^{2} -b^{2} =(a-b)(a+b)  

9(a+1)^{2} -81= 9( (a+1)^{2}-9)=  9( (a+1)^{2}-3^{2} )= 9(a+1-3)(a+1+3)\\=9(a-2)(a+4).
