In 1970 the male incarceration rate in the U.S. was approximately 190 inmates per 100,000 population. In 2008 the rate was 960 i

nmates per 100,000 population. What is the percent increase in the male incarceration rate during this period?

Answer:

40.53%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage Increase = \frac{New Value - Old Value}{Old Value}\times100

Here, New Value = 960÷100,000

Old Value = 190÷ 100,000

∴ Percentage Increase = \dfrac{\frac{960}{100,000} - \frac{190}{100 ,000} }{\frac{190}{100,000}}\times100

⇒ Percentage Increase = 40.53%

Thus, percent increase in the male incarceration rate during given period is 40.53%.

2x-1, x < 2 12. Show that f(x) = { 3x 2 x ≥ 2 is continuous.​
choli [55]

Using the continuity concept, since the lateral limits and the numeric value of the function are equal at the point in which the definition changes, the function is continuous.

<h3>What is the continuity concept?</h3>

A function f(x) is continuous at x = a if it is defined at x = a, and:

\lim_{x \rightarrow a^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow a^+} f(x) = f(a)

The definition of the piecewise function is given by:

  • f(x) = 2x - 1, x < 2.
  • f(x) = 3x/2, x >= 2.

Since the definition of the function changes at x = 2, and the domain of the function has no restrictions, this is the only point in which there may be a discontinuity.

The lateral limits are:

  • \lim_{x \rightarrow 2^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 2} 2x - 1 = 2(2) - 1 = 3.
  • \lim_{x \rightarrow 2^+} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 2} 1.5x = 1.5(2) = 3.

The numeric value is:

f(2) = 1.5 x 2 = 3.

Since the lateral limits and the numeric value of the function are equal at the point in which the definition changes, the function is continuous.

Which graph represents exponential decay?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

  (d) -- see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph that shows exponential decay is one that tends toward a horizontal asymptote as x gets large.

__

A basic (parent) exponential decay curve is concave upward and tends toward zero as x gets large. The fractional change in any interval is the same as for any other interval of equal size. The curve attached decreases by a factor of 2 when x increases by 1.
