PART A:
Finding the slope of the function f(x)
Choose any two pairs of coordinate from the table; (-1, -15) and (0, -10)
Let (-1, -15) be (x₁, y₁) and (0, -10) be (x₂, y₂)
Slope =
Slope of f(x) = 5
The function g(x) is given in the straight line equation form
Where, is the slope and is the y-intercept
Slope of g(x) = 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
g(x) = 2x + 8
Where, the slope (m) = 2 and the y-intercept (c) = 8
The y-intercept of g(x) is 8
for f(x), we can read the y-intercept when x = 0.
From the table, when x = 0, y = -10
The y-intercept of f(x) is -10
Function g(x) has higher y-intercept
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Option c
or
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value is a function that transforms any value x into a positive number.
Therefore, for the function x> 0 for all real numbers.
Then the inequation:
has two cases
if (i)
if (ii)
We solve the case (i)
We solve the case (ii)
Then the solution is:
or
Answer:
The degrees of freedom are given by:
And the p value would be:
Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for this case for the growth rate is less than 2cm per week
Step-by-step explanation:
Information given
represent the sample mean for the growth
represent the sample standard deviation
sample size
represent the value that we want to compare
represent the significance level
t would represent the statistic
represent the p value
System of hypothesis
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is less than 2cm per week, the system of hypothesis are :
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
Since we don't know the population deviation the statistic is given by:
(1)
Replacing the info given we got:
The degrees of freedom are given by:
And the p value would be:
Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for this case for the growth rate is less than 2cm per week
