f(x) has the smallest minimum. The minimum value of f(x) is -3

The largest sin(x) can get is 1.
This applies to sin(2x-pi) as well. So f(x) is as small as -5*(1)+2 = -5+2 = -3.
You can see this each time the red curve bottoms out at y = -3.

The smallest that g(x) can get is y = -2 as shown at the vertex (3,-2)

The smallest that h(x) can get is y = 3 as shown by the point (1,3)

See the attachment for a visual comparison of the three functions.

Answer:

A traditional economy is a system that relies on customs, history, and time-honored beliefs. Tradition guides economic decisions such as production and distribution. Societies with traditional economies depend on agriculture, fishing, hunting, gathering, or some combination of them. They use barter instead of money.

Write the following equation in the general form

shtirl [24]

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As I understand, the given equation is:

$5 y = x-1$

So we need to write this into general form. The general form of the equation of a line is given by:

$Ax + By + C = 0$

Where A and B can't be zero at the same time. So subtracting 5y from both sides:

$5y-5y = x-1-5y \\ \\ 0=x-1-5y \\ \\ \\ Arranging: \\ \\ \boxed{x-5y-1=0} \\ \\ \\ So: \\ \\ A=1 \\ \\ B=-5 \\ \\ C=-1$

In a multiple choice quiz there are 5 questions and 4 choices for each question (a, b, c, d). Robin has not studied for the quiz

Ahat [919]

Answer:

a) There is a 18.75% probability that the first question that she gets right is the second question.

b) There is a 65.92% probability that she gets exactly 1 or exactly 2 questions right.

c) There is a 10.35% probability that she gets the majority of the questions right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each question can have two outcomes. Either it is right, or it is wrong. So, for b) and c), we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And $\pi$ is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

Each question has 4 choices. So for each question, Robin has a $\frac{1}{4} = 0.25$ probability of getting ir right. So $\pi = 0.25$ . There are five questions, so $n = 5$ .

(a) What is the probability that the first question she gets right is the second question?

There is a 75% probability of getting the first question wrong and there is a 25% probability of getting the second question right. These probabilities are independent.

$P = 0.75(0.25) = 0.1875$
