easiest thing to do is combine like terms. There are 9 2's, which means 9(2) which equals 18. Now for the X's. There are 9 X's meaning (9)x which is 9x. This all makes up

18+9x

A botanist wishes to estimate the typical number of seeds for a certain fruit. She samples 41 specimens and counts the number of

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

(53.3; 56.1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sample size, n = 41

Mean, xbar = 54.7

Standard deviation, s = 5.3

Confidence level, Zcritical at 90% = 1.645

Confidence interval :

Xbar ± Margin of error

Margin of Error = Zcritical * s/sqrt(n)

Margin of Error = 1.645 * 5.3/sqrt(41)

Margin of Error = 1.362

Lower boundary = 54.7 - 1.362 = 53.338

Upper boundary = 54.7 + 1.362 = 56.062

(53.3 ; 56.1)

The Identity function i behaves just like the number 1. That is (F o i)=f and (i o g)= g

andrezito [222]

I'll denote the identity function by $\mathrm{Id}$ . Then for any functions $f$ with inverse $f^{-1}$ ,

$\begin{cases}f\circ\mathrm{Id}=f\\\mathrm{Id}\circ f=f\\f\circ f^{-1}=\mathrm{Id}\end{cases}$

One important fact is that composition is associative, meaning for functions $f,g,h$ , we have

$(f\circ g)\circ h=f\circ(g\circ h)$

So given

$h=f\circ g$

we can compose the functions on either side with $g^{-1}$ :

$h\circ g^{-1}=(f\circ g)\circ g^{-1}=f\circ(g\circ g^{-1})$

then apply the rules listed above:

$h\circ g^{-1}=f\circ\mathrm{Id}=f$
