Which function below is the inverse of f(x) = x2 − 16?

1 answer:

4 0

$f(x) = x^{2} - 16$
$y = x^{2} - 16$
$x = y^{2} - 16$
$x + 16 = y^{2}$
$\±\sqrt{x + 16} = \sqrt{y^{2}}$
$\±\sqrt{x + 16} = y$
$\±\sqrt{x + 16} = f^{-1}(x)$

Complete Question

The mean finish time for a yearly amateur auto race was 186.94 minutes with a standard deviation of 0.305 minute. The winning car, driven by Roger, finished in 185.85 minutes. The previous year's race had a mean finishing time of 110.7 with a standard deviation of 0.115 minute. The winning car that year, driven by Karen, finished in 110.48 minutes.

Find their respective z-scores.

Who had the more convincing victory?

A. Roger had a more convincing victory because of a higher z-score.

B. Karen a more convincing victory because of a higher z-score.

C. Roger had a more convincing victory, because of a lower z-score.

D. Karen a more convincing victory because of a lower z-score.

Answer:

The correct option is D

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mean of the current year is $\mu_c = 186.32 \ minutes$

The standard deviation is $\sigma_c = 0.305 \ minutes$

The time taken by the winning car for the current year is $x = 185.85 \ minutes$

The mean of the previous year is $\mu_p = 110.7 \ minutes$

The standard deviation the previous year is $\sigma_p = 0.115 \ minutes$

The time taken by the winning car for the previous year is $y = 110.48 \ minutes$

Generally the z-score for current year is mathematically evaluated as

$z_c = \frac{x- \mu_c}{\sigma_c }$

=> $z_c = \frac{ 185.85- 186.32}{0.305 }$

=> $z_c = -1.536$

Generally the z-score for previous year is mathematically evaluated as

$z_p = \frac{y- \mu_p}{\sigma_p }$

=> $z_p = \frac{ 110.48-110.7}{0.115 }$

=> $z_p = -1.913$

From the value obtained we see that $z_p < z_c$ , Hence Karen had a more convincing victory because of the lower z -score.

1/3× 21/4-11/2÷22/5?? .btw they are improper fractions

<h3>Solution:</h3>

$\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{21}{4} - \frac{11}{2} \div \frac{22}{5} \\ = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{21}{4} - \frac{11}{2} \times \frac{5}{22} \\ = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{21}{4} - \frac{5}{4} \\ = \frac{7}{4} - \frac{5}{4} \\ = \frac{2}{4} \\ = \frac{1}{2}$
