You are trying to find an x-value for which f(x) = g(x).  At first your choice of x is arbitrary.  In the given table, the first x-value tried was 0 (zero).  For this value of x, f(x) does NOT equal g(x).

Next x was 1.  f(x) and g(x) are even further apart here.  So reject 1 and try 2 instead.  Notice how f(x) and g(x) are closer together now than they were for x=1.

Note that for x=2.5, f(x) and g(x) are even closer together; ony 0.75 separates them.   

Your turn.  Try x=2.4, x=2.3, and so on.  You may have to go in the other direction:  Try x=2.6, x=2.7, and so on.  If f(x) and g(x) are getting closer to one another, you're going in the right direction; if further apart, you're going in the wrong direction.  

Have fun.  This really is an interesting problem.

Which combination of integers can be used to generate the Pythagorean triple (5,12,13)
Kitty [74]

Answer:

x=3 and y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean triples are generated by two integrers x and y that can be found by solving the following system of equations:

\left \{ {{x^{2}-y^{2}=5}\atop {2xy=12}} \atop {x^{2}+y^{2}=13}}\right.

Solve the system of equations, and we get that the solution is x=3 and y=2.

Therefore, the combination of integrers that ca be used to generate the pythagorea triple are: x=3 and y=2

A machine that cuts corks for wine bottles operates in such a way that the distribution of the diameter of the corks produced is
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

A. P(x<3.85 or x>4.15)= P(x<3.85)+P(x>4.15) = 0.1336

Step-by-step explanation:

Working with an ordinary Normal Distribution of probability and trying to find the probabilities asked in it could be difficult, because there´s no easy method to find probabilities in a generic Normal Distribution (with mean μ=4 and STD σ=0.1). The recommended approach to this question is to use a process called "Normalize", this process let us translate the problem of any Normal Distribution to a Standard Normal Distribution (μ=0 and σ=1) where there´s easier ways to find probabilities in there. The "Normalization" goes as follows:

Suppose you want to know P(x<a) of the Normal Distribution you are working with:

P(x<a)=P( (x-μ)/σ < (a-μ)/σ )=P(z<b)   ( b=(a-μ)/σ )

Where μ is the mean and σ is the STD of your Normal Distribution. Notice P(z<b) now it´s a probability in a Standard Normal Distribution, now we can find it using the available method to do so. My favorite is a chart (It´s attached to this answer) that contains a lot of probabilities in a Standard Normal Distribution. Let´s solve this as an example

A. We want to find the probability of the cork being defective (P(x<3.85) + P(x>4.15)). Now we find those separated and, then, add them for our answer.

Let´s begin with P(x<3.85), we start by normalizing that probability:

P(x<3.85)= P( (x-μ)/σ < (3.85-4)/0.1 )= P(z<-1.5)

And now it´s time to use the chart, it works like this: If you want P(z<c) and the decimal expansion of c=a.bd... , then:

P(z<c)=(a.b , d)

Where (a.b , d) are the coordinates of the probability in the chart. Keep in mind that will only work with "<" (It won´t work directly with P(z>c)) and we will do some extra work in those cases.

P(z<-1.5) is in the coordinates (-1.5 , 0)

P(z<-1.5)= 0.0668

P(x<3.85)= 0.0668

Now we are looking for P(x>4.15), let´s Normalize it too:

P(x>4.15)=P( (x-μ)/σ < (4.15-4)/0.1 )=P(z>1.5)

But remember the chart only work with "<", so we need to use a property of probability:

P(z>1.5)= 1 - P(z<1.5)

Using the chart:

P(z<1.5)=0.9332                             (1.5 , 0)

P(z>1.5)= 1 - 0.9332

P(z>1.5)= 0.0668

P(x>4.15)= 0.0668

And our final answer will be:

P(x<3.85 or x>4.15)= P(x<3.85)+P(x>4.15) = 0.1336

The graph shows the functions f(x), p(x), and g(x): Graph of function g of x is y is equal to 1 plus the quantity 1.5 raised to
satela [25.4K]
Part A:

Given that the <span>straight line p(x) joins the ordered pairs (0, 2) and (1, -5), thus the equation of the line joining ordered pairs (0, 2) and (1, -5) is given by

\frac{y-2}{x} = \frac{-5-2}{1} =-7 \\  \\ \Rightarrow y-2=-7x \\  \\ \Rightarrow y=-7x+2

Thus, p(x) = -7x + 2

</span>Given that the <span>straight line f(x) joins the ordered pairs (4, 1) and (2, -3), thus the equation of the line joining ordered pairs (4, 1) and (2, -3) is given by

\frac{y-1}{x-4} = \frac{-3-1}{2-4} =\frac{-4}{-2}=2 \\  \\ \Rightarrow y-1=2(x-4)=2x-8 \\  \\ \Rightarrow y=2x-7

Thus, f(x) = 2x - 7
</span>
The solution to the pair of equations represented by p(x) and f(x) is given by

p(x) = f(x)
⇒ -7x + 2 = 2x - 7
⇒ -7x - 2x = -7 - 2
⇒ -9x = -9
⇒ x = -9 / -9 = 1

Substituting for x into p(x), we have

p(1) = -7(1) + 2 = -7 + 2 = -5

Therefore, the solution to the pair of equations represented by p(x) and f(x) is  (1, -5)



Part B:

From part A, we have that f(x) = 2x - 7

when x = -8

f(-8) = 2(-8) - 7 = -23

Thus, (-8, -23) is a solution to f(x).

When x = -10

f(-10) = 2(-10) - 7 = -27

Thus, (-10, -27) is a solution to f(x).

Therefore, two solutions of f(x) are (-8, -23) and (-10, -27).



Part C:

From part A, we have that p(x) = -7x + 2, given that g(x) = 1 + 1.5^x

From the graphs of p(x) and g(x), we can see that the two graphs intersected at the point (0, 2).

Therefore, the solution to the equation p(x) = g(x) is (0, 2).

1. Draw an appropriate Venn diagram to depict each of the following sets. U = The set of integers. A = The set of even integers.
CaHeK987 [17]

The attached diagram represents the Venn diagram of the sets

<h3>How to draw the Venn diagram?</h3>

The sets are given as:

  • The universal set, U = The set of integers.
  • A = The set of even integers.
  • B = The set of odd integers.
  • C = The set of multiples of 3.
  • D= The set of prime numbers

From the above representation, we have the following highlights:

  • Set A and set B will not intersect, because no number can be even and odd
  • Set C and set D will intersect set A because they have common elements 6 and 2, respectively
  • Set C and set D will intersect set B because they have common elements 3 and 3, respectively

Using the above highlights, we can now draw the Venn diagram

See attachment for the Venn diagram
