$f(x)=x^2-8\\\\g(x)=2x-5\\\\f(g(x))\to\text{instead of x write the equation of the function g(x)}\\\\f(g(x))=(2x-5)^2-8=(2x)^2-2(2x)(5)+5^2-8\\\\=4x^2-20x+25-8=4x^2-20x+17\\\\\text{used}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$

$g(f(x))\to\text{instead of x write the equation of the function f(x)}\\\\g(f(x))=2(x^2-8)-5=(2)(x^2)+(2)(-8)-5=2x^2-16-5=2x^2-21$

The distance from Earth to the sun is about 9.3 × 10 7th power miles.

AURORKA [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

The distance from earth to sun is 387.5 times greater than distance from earth to moon.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, the distance from Earth to the sun is about $9.3 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{miles}$

The distance from Earth to the Moon is about $2.4 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{miles}$

We have to find how many times greater is the distance from Earth to the Sun than Earth to the Moon?

For that, we just have to divide the distance between earth and sun with distance between earth to moon.

Let the factor by which distance is greater be d.

$\text { Now, } \mathrm{d}=\frac{\text { distance between sun and earth }}{\text { distance between moon and earth }}=\frac{9.3 \times 10^{7}}{2.4 \times 10^{5}}=\frac{9.3}{2.4} \times 10^{7-5}\\\\=3.875 \times 10^{2}=387.5$

Hence, the distance from earth to sun is 387.5 times greater than distance from earth to moon.

A certain statistic bˆ is being used to estimate a population parameter B. The expected value of bˆ is equal to B. What property

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Unbiased

Step-by-step explanation:

If b^ is equal to B this means that it is an unbiased estimator. When there is an absence of bias, we have an unbiased estimator. As an unbiased estimator it gives accurate information most of the time. The result it gives is not over estimated and also it is not underestimated.

Expected value = true value

Parameter estimates are correct on average

Scientists studying dolphin echolocation simulate the projection of a bottlenose dolphin's clicking sounds using computer

lina2011 [118]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola with focus at (h, k) and the directrix y = p is given by the following formula:

(y - k)^2 = 4 * f * (x - h)

In this case, the focus is at the origin (0, 0) and the directrix is the line y = -1.3, so the equation representing the cross section of the reflector is:

y^2 = 4 * f * x

= 4 * (-1.3) * x

= -5.2x

The depth of the reflector is the distance from the vertex to the directrix. In this case, the vertex is at the origin, so the depth is simply the distance from the origin to the line y = -1.3. Since the directrix is a horizontal line, this distance is simply the absolute value of the y-coordinate of the line, which is 1.3 inches. Therefore, the depth of the reflector is approximately 1.3 inches.
