$f'(x_0)=\lim\limits_{x\to x_0}\dfrac{f(x)-f(x_0)}{x-x_0}\\\\f(x)=6x+2;\ x_0=1\\\\f'(1)=\lim\limits_{x\to x_0}\dfrac{(6x+2)-(6\cdot1+2)}{x-1}=\lim\limits_{x\to x_0}\dfrac{6x+2-8}{x-1}\\\\=\lim\limits_{x\to x_0}\dfrac{6x-6}{x-1}=\lim\limits_{x\to x_0}\dfrac{6(x-1)}{x-1}=\lim\limits_{x\to x_0}6=6\\\\\\Answer:\boxed{f'(1)=6}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking for the derivative of a function is similar to differentiating the function.

Given the function f(x) = 6x+2

The derivative of the function

f'(x) = 6

The derivative of the function at x= 1 will still be equivalent to 6 since 6 is just a constant.

Answer:

At a significance level of 0.05, there is enough evidence to claim that there is a significant relationship between x and y.

P-value = 0.003.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we perform a regression analysis relating x and y, we get the best fitting line with equation:

$y=15.82x+92.9$

and a correlation coefficient r:

$r=0.693$

We have to test the hypothesis, where the alternative hypothesis claims that there is a relationship between these two variables, and the null hypothesis claiming there is no relationship (meaning that the correlation is not significantly different from 0).

This can be written as:

$H_0: \rho=0\\\\H_a:\rho\neq0$

where ρ is the population correlation coefficient for x and y.

The significance level is assumed to be 0.05.

The sample size is n=16.

The degrees of freedom are df=14.

$df=n-2=16-2=14$

The test statistic can be calculated as:

$t=\dfrac{r\sqrt{n-2}}{\sqrt{1-r^2}}=\dfrac{0.693\sqrt{14}}{\sqrt{1-(0.693)^2}}=\dfrac{2.593}{0.721}=3.597$

For a test statistic t=2.05 and 14 degrees of freedom, the P-value is calculated as:

$\text{P-value}=2\cdot P(t>3.597)=0.003$

The P-value (0.003) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), so the effect is significant enough.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

At a significance level of 0.05, there is enough evidence to claim that there is a significant relationship between x and y.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Suppose the mean percentage in Algebra 2B is 70% and the standard deviation is 8%.

This means that $\mu = 70, \sigma = 8$
