Question A:

Rewriting the table for f(x):

x      -1       0      1
f(x)   -7      -1      5

Notice that for every increase of one unit in 'x', there are an increase 6 units on f(x). Hence, the gradient of the slope of f(x) is 6. 

g(x) = 5x - 4 ⇒ This function follows the general form of the straight line equation, y = mx + c, where 'm' is the gradient and 'c' is the y-intercept.
Hence, the gradient of the slope of g(x) is 5.

The slope of f(x) is steeper than the slope of g(x).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question B:

The y-intercept is the value of y where a straight line crosses the y-axis (or when x is zero).

From the table of f(x), the y-intercept is -1 (this is the value of 'y' when 'x' is zero)

From the given function g(x) = 5x - 4, the y-intercept is -4. 

f(x) has a greater y-intercept.

xz_007 [3.2K]
Strength [is proportional to] d^2
strength1/(d1)^2 = strength2/(d2)^2
800kg/(2cm)^2 = strength2/(3cm)^2
strength2 = 800 kg * (3 cm)^2/(2 cm)^2
strength2 = 800 kg * 3^2/2^2
strength2 = 800 kg * 9/4
strength2 = 1800 kg

The one-time fling! Have you ever purchased an article of clothing (dress, sports jacket, etc.), worn the item once to a party,
Mama L [17]

Answer:

(a)\ P(x = 0) = 0.2725

(b)\ P(x \ge 1) =0.7275

(c)\ P(x \le 2) = 0.8948

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n = 8 --- 8 friends

p = 15\% --- proportion that one-time fling

This question is an illustration of binomial probability, and it is represented as:

P(X = x) = ^nC_x* p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x}

Solving (a): P(x = 0) --- None has done one time fling

P(x = 0) = ^8C_0* (15\%)^0 * (1 - 15\%)^{8-0}

P(x = 0) = 1* 1 * (1 - 0.15)^{8}

P(x = 0) = 0.85^8

P(x = 0) = 0.2725

Solving (b): P(x \ge 1)

To do this, we make use of compliment rule:

P(x = 0) + P(x \ge 1) =1

Rewrite as:

P(x \ge 1) =1 - P(x = 0)

P(x \ge 1) =1 - 0.2725

P(x \ge 1) =0.7275

Solving (c): P(x\le 2)--- Not more than 2 has one time fling

This is calculated as:

P(x\le 2) = P(x = 0) + P(x =1) + P(x = 2)

We have:

P(x = 0) = 0.2725

P(x = 1) = ^8C_1* (15\%)^1 * (1 - 15\%)^{8-1}

P(x = 1) = 8* (0.15) * (1 - 0.15)^7

P(x = 1) = 0.3847

P(x = 2) = ^8C_2* (15\%)^2 * (1 - 15\%)^{8-2}

P(x = 2) = 28* (0.15)^2 * (1-0.15)^6

P(x = 2) = 0.2376

So:

P(x\le 2) = P(x = 0) + P(x =1) + P(x = 2)

P(x \le 2) = 0.2725 + 0.3847 + 0.2376

P(x \le 2) = 0.8948
