Answer:
a) see the plots below
b) f(x) is exponential; g(x) is linear (see below for explanation)
c) the function values are never equal
Step-by-step explanation:
a) a graph of the two function values is attached
__
b) Adjacent values of f(x) have a common ratio of 3, so f(x) is exponential (with a base of 3). Adjacent values of g(x) have a common difference of 2, so g(x) is linear (with a slope of 2).
__
c) At x ≥ 1, the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x), and the value of f(x) is greater than the value of g(x), so the curves can never cross for x > 1. Similarly, for x ≤ 0, the slope of f(x) is less than the slope of g(x). Once again, f(0) is greater than g(0), so the curves can never cross.
In the region between x=0 and x=1, f(x) remains greater than g(x). The smallest difference is about 0.73, near x = 0.545, where the slopes of the two functions are equal.
Expressions cannot <u>be solved.
</u>Although they are similar to equations, you can solve an equation, but you cannot solve an expression. You can evaluate it, simplify it, and it can have many variables, however, an expression just exists, it is not a problem that has to be solved.<u>

Answer:
3. f(12) = -10; f(37) = -60
4. f(12) = -102; f(37) = -352
Step-by-step explanation:
3. Put the numbers in the formula and do the arithmetic:
f(12) = 12 -2(12-1) = 12 -22 = -10
f(37) = 12 -2(37-1) = 12 -72 = -60
__
4. The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence with first term a1 and common difference d is ...
an = a1 +d(n -1)
Your sequence has a first term a1=8 and a common difference d=-10.
As above, fill in the numbers and do the arithmetic.
f(12) = 8 -10(12 -1) = -102
f(37) = 8 -10(37-1) = -352
Answer:
We conclude that there has been a significant reduction in the proportion of females.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Sample size, n = 400
p = 50% = 0.5
Alpha, α = 0.05
Number of women, x = 118
First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis
This is a one-tailed test.
Formula:
Putting the values, we get,
Now, we calculate the critical value.
Now, 
Since the calculated z-statistic is less than the critical value, we fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis.
Thus, there has been a significant reduction in the proportion of females.
For proportionality constant problems, set up the equation as,
,
Where x and y are the two variables you are comparing and <em>K </em>is the proportionality constant. If we take <em>Caramel Corn </em>values as x and <em>Cheddar Corn </em>values as y, and then solve for <em>K </em>for each ratio lines, we will get the same answer. Let's check.
,
, and
.
Hence, the proportionality constant, in this case <em>K,</em> is equal to 
or 1.5. First answer choice is correct.
ANSWER: 1.5
