Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a function f(x)=\frac{-2x}{x+1} and we are asked to find the horizontal asymptote of our given function.

Recalling the rules for a horizontal asymptote:

1. If the numerator and denominator have equal degree, the horizontal asymptote will be the ratio of the leading coefficients.

2. If the polynomial of denominator has larger degree than the numerator, then the horizontal asymptote will be the x-axis or y=0.

3. If the polynomial of numerator has larger degree than denominator, then the function has no horizontal asymptote.

Here, the numerator and denominator are of the same degree. So the horizontal asymptote will be the ratio of the coefficients.

Horizontal asymptote = $-\frac{2}{1}$ = -2

a certain pharmaceutical company know that, on average 4% of a certain type of pill has an ingredient that is below the minimum

FinnZ [79.3K]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0% probability that fewer that 5 in a sample of 20 pills will be acceptable.

For each pill, there are only two possible outcomes, either it is acceptable, or it is not. The probability of a pill being acceptable is independent of any other pill, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

The sample has 20 pills, hence $n = 20$ .

100 - 4 = 96% are acceptable, hence $p = 0.96$

The probability that fewer that 5 in a sample of 20 pills will be acceptable is:

$P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.96)^{0}.(0.04)^{20} = 0$

$P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.96)^{1}.(0.04)^{19} = 0$

$P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.96)^{2}.(0.04)^{18} = 0$

$P(X = 3) = C_{20,3}.(0.96)^{3}.(0.04)^{17} = 0$

$P(X = 4) = C_{20,4}.(0.96)^{4}.(0.04)^{16} = 0$

0% probability that fewer that 5 in a sample of 20 pills will be acceptable.

Answer:

60 slices

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, to start you must figure the amount of slices, to begin with. This is 9 x 8

this is = to 72.

Then you take 5/6 of 72/1 by multiplying across. to get 60

Find the inequality represented in the graph.

Digiron [165]

Answer: y > -1/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation: first, in order to find the inequalities you should find the gradient by choosing two points from the line and you should you the formula m=y2-y1/x2-x1 to find the gradient.

Next, you should find the y-intercept in order to complete the inequality it can be easily found as the y-intercept is the place where the line crosses the y axis

Then you create your equation { y = -1/2x + 2 } and then if above the line is shaded then it is {> greater than} and if below the line is shaded then it should be {< less than}

(so you should replace the equation with the lesser or greater sign according to the way the graph is shaded)
