F is a twice differentiable function that is defined for all reals. The value of f "(x) is given for several values of x in the
nadezda [96]

The correct answer is actually the last one.

The second derivative f''(x) gives us information about the concavity of a function: if f''(x) then the function is concave downwards in that point, whereas if f''(x)>0 then the function is concave upwards in that point.

This already shows why the first option is wrong - if the function was concave downwards for all x, then the second derivate would have been negative for all x, which isn't the case, because we have, for example, f''(8)=5

Also, the second derivative gives no information about specific points of the function. Suppose, in fact, that f(x) passes through the origin, so f(0)=0. Now translate the function upwards, for example. we have that f(x)+k doesn't pass through the origin, but the second derivative is always f''(x). So, the second option is wrong as well.

Now, about the last two. The answer you chose would be correct if the exercise was about the first derivative f'(x). In fact, the first derivative gives information about the increasing or decreasing behaviour of the function - positive and negative derivative, respectively. So, if the first derivative is negative before a certain point and positive after that point. It means that the function is decreasing before that point, and increasing after. So, that point is a relative minimum.

But in this exercise we're dealing with second derivative, so we don't have information about the increasing/decreasing behaviour. Instead, we know that the second derivative is negative before zero - which means that the function is concave downwards before zero - and positive after zero - which means that the function is concave upwards after zero.

A point where the function changes its concavity is called a point of inflection, which is the correct answer.

What is the range of possible sides for side x? The other two sides are 3.2 and 5.5
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

2.3 < x < 8.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 sides of a triangle then the 3rd side x is in the range

difference of 2 sides < x < sum of 2 sides , that is

5.5 - 3.2 < x < 5.5 + 3.2

2.3 < x < 8.7

In one region, the September energy consumption levels for single-family homes are found to be normally distributed with a mean
Otrada [13]

Answer:

a=1050 -0.126*218=1022.532

So the value of height that separates the bottom 45% of data from the top 55% is 1022.532.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

2) Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the consumption levels of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(1050,218)  

Where \mu=1050 kWh and \sigma=218kWh

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.55   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.45 of the area on the left and 0.55 of the area on the right it's z=-0.26. On this case P(Z<-0.126)=0.45 and P(z>-0.126)=0.55

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-0.126=\frac{a-1050}{218}

And if we solve for a we got

a=1050 -0.126*218=1022.532

So the value of height that separates the bottom 45% of data from the top 55% is 1022.532.

ABC is translated 4 unite to the loft and 8 unito up, thon roflooted
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

(-3, 13)

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinate of A is (7,5)

4 units to the left means (7-4, 5) --> (3,5)

8 units up means (3, 5+8) --> (3,13)

Reflected across the y-axis means that the sign of whatever x coordinate you have now will be reversed.

So (-3,13)
