The function f(x) is graphed on the coordinate plane.

59. What happens to the graph of y = |x| when the equation changes to y = |x + 4? A The graph shifts up 4 units. The graph shift

marishachu [46]

Answer: Graph shifts 4 units to the left

Explanation:

I'm assuming you meant to say y = |x+4|

If so, then the graph shifts 4 units to the left. Replacing x with x+4 moves the xy axis 4 units to the right if we held the V shape in place (since each x is now 4 units larger). This gives the illusion the V shape is moving 4 units to the left.

Or you could look at the vertex point to see how it moves. On y = |x|, the vertex is at (0,0). It then moves to (-4,0) when we go to y = |x+4|

Write a rule for each pattern. Then use your rule to find the next two terms in the pattern. The numbers are: 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 2

Leya [2.2K]

Triangular Number Sequence

This is the Triangular Number Sequence:

1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, ...

This sequence comes from a pattern of dots that form a triangle:

By adding another row of dots and counting all the dots we can
find the next number of the sequence.

A Rule

We can make a "Rule" so we can calculate any triangular number.

First, rearrange the dots (and give each pattern a number n), like this:

Then double the number of dots, and form them into a rectangle:

The rectangles are n high and n+1 wideand xn is how many dots in the triangle (the value of the Triangular Number n)

And we get (remembering we doubled the dots):

2xn = n(n+1)xn = n(n+1)/2

Rule: xn = n(n+1)/2

Example: the 5th Triangular Number is

x5 = 5(5+1)/2 = 15

Example: the 60th is

x60 = 60(60+1)/2 = 1830

Wasn't it much easier to use the formula than to add up all those dots?

Can someone help me with this? sin150° =

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

sin(150°) = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study how we can solve this problem

- At first the measure of the angle is 150°

- Ask your self in which quadrant can you find this measure

* To know the answer lets revise the four quadrants

# First quadrant the measure of all angles is between 0° and 90°

the measure of any angle is α

∴ All the angles are acute

∴ All the trigonometry functions of α are positive

# Second quadrant the measure of all angles is between 90° and 180°

the measure of any angle is 180° - α

∴ All the angles are obtuse

∴ The value of sin(180° - α) only is positive ⇒ sin(180° - α) = sinα

# Third quadrant the measure of all angles is between 180° and 270°

the measure of any angle is 180° + α

∴ All the angles are reflex

∴ The value of tan(180° + α) only is positive ⇒ tan(180° + α) = tanα

# Fourth quadrant the measure of all angles is between 270° and 360°

the measure of any angle is 360° - α

∴ All the angles are reflex

∴ The value of cos(360° - α) only is positive ⇒ cos(360° - α) = cosα

* Now lets check the angle of measure 150

- It is an obtuse angle

∴ It is in the second quadrant

∴ the value of sin(150) is positive

∴ sin(150°) = sinα

∵ 180 - α = 150 ⇒ isolate α

∵ α = 180° - 150° = 30°

∴ sin(150°) = sin(30°)

∵ sin(30°) = 1/2

∴ sin(150°) = 1/2

Weight of a rock: In a geology course, students are learning to use a balance scale to accurately weigh rocks. One student plans

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The student who weighted the rock 5 times has a 95% confidence interval of (25.2, 29.1) which is guaranteed to be more wider (less precise) than the other student who weighted the rock 20 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is Confidence Interval?

The confidence interval represents an interval that we can guarantee that the target variable will be within this interval for a given confidence level.

The confidence interval is given by

$CI = \bar{x} + t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } ) \\$

Where $\bar{x}$ is the mean weight $\sigma$ is the standard deviation $t_{\alpha/2}$ is the critical value from t-table and n is the sample size.

The term $t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } )$ is known as margin of error.

As the sample size is decreased the corresponding margin of error increases which results in wider confidence interval which means smaller precision.

The student who weighted the rock 5 times has a 95% confidence interval of (25.2, 29.1) which is guaranteed to be more wider (less precise) than the other student who weighted the rock 20 times.

We can say with 95% confidence that the true mean weight of the rock is within the interval of (25.2, 29.1).
