Given the parent function of f(x) = x3, what change will occur when the function is changed to f(x) + 3?

During optimal conditions, the rate of change of the population of a certain organism is proportional to the population at time

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The population is of 500 after 10.22 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of the population of a certain organism is proportional to the population at time t, in hours.

This means that the population can be modeled by the following differential equation:

$\frac{dP}{dt} = Pr$

In which r is the growth rate.

Solving by separation of variables, then integrating both sides, we have that:

$\frac{dP}{P} = r dt$

$\int \frac{dP}{P} = \int r dt$

$\ln{P} = rt + K$

Applying the exponential to both sides:

$P(t) = Ke^{rt}$

In which K is the initial population.

At time t = 0 hours, the population is 300.

This means that K = 300. So

$P(t) = 300e^{rt}$

At time t = 24 hours, the population is 1000.

This means that P(24) = 1000. We use this to find the growth rate. So

$P(t) = 300e^{rt}$

$1000 = 300e^{24r}$

$e^{24r} = \frac{1000}{300}$

$e^{24r} = \frac{10}{3}$

$\ln{e^{24r}} = \ln{\frac{10}{3}}$

$24r = \ln{\frac{10}{3}}$

$r = \frac{\ln{\frac{10}{3}}}{24}$

$r = 0.05$

So

$P(t) = 300e^{0.05t}$

At what time t is the population 500?

This is t for which P(t) = 500. So

$P(t) = 300e^{0.05t}$

$500 = 300e^{0.05t}$

$e^{0.05t} = \frac{500}{300}$

$e^{0.05t} = \frac{5}{3}$

$\ln{e^{0.05t}} = \ln{\frac{5}{3}}$

$0.05t = \ln{\frac{5}{3}}$

$t = \frac{\ln{\frac{5}{3}}}{0.05}$

$t = 10.22$

The population is of 500 after 10.22 hours.

A car uses 8 gallons of gasoline to travel 192 miles. How many gallons are used to go 144 miles? *

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

6 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find this using the ration method.

If, 8 gallons : 192 miles

x gallons : 144 miles

We must find the value of x, which is the number of gallons used to travel 144 miles.

Cross multiply the ratios.

192 x = 8 × 144

192 x = 1152

x = 1152 ÷ 192

x = 6

∴ It takes 6 gallons to travel 144 miles.

identify an equation in the point-slope form for the line parallel to y=1/2 x -7 that passes through (-3,-2)

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

note :

Use the point-slope formula.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) when : x_1= -3 y_1= -2 m= 1/2(parallel means same slope)

an equation in the point-slope form is : y +2 = 1/2(x+3)

Twice the difference of x and 5 is -33

Elden [556K]

2*(x-5) = -33, so x-5 = -16.5, so x = -11.5

This is assuming that "the difference between a and b" is a-b, which seems to be the accepted interpretation.

Use the given information to find the p-value. Also, use a 0.05 significance level and state the conclusion about the null hyp

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

We can assume that the statistic is $z_{calc}=0.78$

$p_v = 2* P(z>0.78) = 0.435$

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion of interest is not different from 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is equal to 3/5 or not.:

Null hypothesis: $p=3/5$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq 3/5$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

Calculate the statistic

We can assume that the statistic is $z_{calc}=0.78$

Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level provided $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:

$p_v = 2* P(z>0.78) = 0.435$

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion of interest is not different from 3/5
