For the function f(x) = x + 5, what is the ordered pair for the point on the graph when x = 4w? (1 point)
Dominik [7]
We are given the function f(x) = x + 5 in which the abscissa chosen is at x = 4w. To find the ordinate or the y-component, we replace x with 4w in the equation given. In this case, y = 4w + 5. Hence the answer to this problem is B. (4w, 4w + 5)

Determine the holes, vertical asymptotes, and horizontal asymptotes of the rational function y=3x^2+10x-8/x^2+7x+12
kompoz [17]
There would be a hole when x = -4.

If you factor both the top and the bottom, you will see that the factor (x + 4) is in both the numerator and denominator. Therefore, the would be a hole when x = -4 because that would also make the denominator 0.

Of the population of all fruit flies we wish to give a 90% confidence interval for the fraction which possess a gene which gives
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The margin of error for the 90% confidence interval is of 0.038.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

To this end we have obtained a random sample of 400 fruit flies. We find that 280 of the flies in the sample possess the gene.

This means that n = 400, \pi = \frac{280}{400} = 0.7

90% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

Give the margin of error for the 90% confidence interval.

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

M = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.7*0.3}{400}}

M = 0.038

The margin of error for the 90% confidence interval is of 0.038.
