Alright, here's your answer.

y-intercept is computed (not found) by assigning x = 0 and computing y: here that is f(0) = Log(2*0 + 1) – 1 = Log(1) – 1 = 0 – 1 = -1
y-intercept is (0, -1)

x-intercept is computed by solving f(x) = 0 for x: here that is
0 = Log(2x + 1) – 1 → 1 = Log(2x + 1)

Assuming the Log cited is base 10, then 10^1 = 10^Log(2x + 1) = 2x + 1

That’s 10 = 2x + 1

Therefore 9 = 2x
x = 9/2 = 4.5
Check this result in the original equation, I did!

Your answer is - x-intercept is (4.5, 0)

I hope I helped! :)

How to find slope intercept form with one point and the slope?

andre [41]

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b...ur slope will be in the m position and ur y int will be in the b position

examples : slope = 2 , (1,3)....x = 1 and y = 3

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 2
(1,3)...x = 1 and y = 3
now we sub and find b, the y int
3 = 2(1) + b
3 = 2 + b
3 - 2 = b
1 = b

so in slope intercept form, ur equation is : y = 2x + 1
================
another example : slope = 3 , (-2,-4)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3
(-2,-4)...x = -2 and y = -4
now sub and find b, the y int
-4 = 3(-2) + b
-4 = - 6 + b
-4 + 6 = b
2 = b
so ur equation is : y = 3x + 2

After a game, Coach Jones wants to serve punch to the players on her soccer team. She will mix 2 quarts of ginger ale and 1 gall

Zinaida [17]

The answer would be 24 8-ounce cups.

First you would find how many quarts over all she has which is 6, then multiply that by 32(which is the amount of ounces are in a quart), then you would get 192 which you divide by 8 to find the total amount of cups you would have which is 24.

Big babies: The National Health Statistics Reports described a study in which a sample of 354 one-year-old baby boys were weighe

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Yes. The data provide enough evidence to support the claim that the mean weight of one-year-old boys is greater than 25 pounds.

P-value=P(t>2.84)=0.0024

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypothesis test on the population mean.

The claim is that the mean weight of one-year-old boys is greater than 25 pounds.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \mu=25\\\\H_a:\mu>25$

The significance level is α=0.05.

The sample size is n=354. The sample mean is 25.8 pounds and the sample standard deviation is 5.3 pounds. As the population standard deviation is estimated from the sample standard deviation, we will use a t-statistic.

The degrees of freedom are:

$df=n-1=354-1=353$

The t-statistic is:

$t=\dfrac{\bar x-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{25.8-25}{5.3/\sqrt{354}}=\dfrac{0.8}{0.2817}=2.84$

For a right tailed test and 353 degrees of freedom, the P-value is:

$P-value=P(t>2.84)=0.0024$

As the P-value is smaller than the significance level, the effect is significant and the null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the mean weight of one-year-old boys is greater than 25 pounds.

How to work vector algebra

erica [24]

Vectors and vector addition:

A scalar is a quantity like mass or temperature that only has a magnitude. On the other had, a vector is a mathematical object that has magnitude and direction. A line of given length and pointing along a given direction, such as an arrow, is the typical representation of a vector. Typical notation to designate a vector is a boldfaced character, a character with and arrow on it, or a character with a line under it (i.e., ). The magnitude of a vector is its length and is normally denoted by or A. Addition of two vectors is accomplished by laying the vectors head to tail in sequence to create a triangle such as is shown in the figure. The following rules apply in vector algebra.where P and Q are vectors and a is a scalar.

Unit vectors:

A unit vector is a vector of unit length. A unit vector is sometimes denoted by replacing the arrow on a vector with a "^" or just adding a "^" on a boldfaced character (i.e., ). Therefore, Any vector can be made into a unit vector by dividing it by its length. Any vector can be fully represented by providing its magnitude and a unit vector along its direction.

Base vectors and vector components:

Base vectors are a set of vectors selected as a base to represent all other vectors. The idea is to construct each vector from the addition of vectors along the base directions. For example, the vector in the figure can be written as the sum of the three vectors u1, u2, and u3, each along the direction of one of the base vectors e1, e2, and e3, so that Each one of the vectors u1, u2, and u3 is parallel to one of the base vectors and can be written as scalar multiple of that base. Let u1, u2, and u3 denote these scalar multipliers such that one has The original vector u can now be written as The scalar multipliers u1, u2, and u3 are known as the components of u in the base described by the base vectors e1, e2, and e3. If the base vectors are unit vectors, then the components represent the lengths, respectively, of the three vectors u1, u2, and u3. If the base vectors are unit vectors and are mutually orthogonal, then the base is known as an orthonormal, Euclidean, or Cartesian base.

A vector can be resolved along any two directions in a plane containing it. The figure shows how the parallelogram rule is used to construct vectors a and b that add up to c. In three dimensions, a vector can be resolved along any three non-coplanar lines. The figure shows how a vector can be resolved along the three directions by first finding a vector in the plane of two of the directions and then resolving this new vector along the two directions in the plane. When vectors are represented in terms of base vectors and components, addition of two vectors results in the addition of the components of the vectors.
