Answer:

y = 1/e

y = 0.37

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (ln x)/x; (e, 1/e)

Step 1

Find the point of tangency.

It's given as (e,1/e) or (2.72,0.37)

Step 2

Find the first derivative, and evaluate it at x=e

Using product rule.

d(uv) = udv + vdu

Where u = lnx and v = 1/x

du = 1/x , dv = -1/x^2

f'(x) = -lnx/x^2 +1/x^2

f'(x) = (1-lnx)/x^2

At x = e

f'(e) = (1-lne)/e^2

f'(e) = 0

The slope of the tangent line at this point is m= 0

Step 3

Find the equation of the tangent line at (e,1/e) with a slope of m=0

y−y1 = m(x - x1)

y-(1/e) = 0(x-1)

y = 1/e

y = 0.37

You wish to prove that three propositions p1, p2, and p3 are equivalent. will it suffice to show that p1 --> p2, p2 --> p3
kompoz [17]

Answer:

It is sufficient to prove that  p_1\implies p_2, p_2\implies p_3, p_3\implies p_1

Step-by-step explanation:

The propositions p_1,p_2,p_3 being equivalent means they should always have the same truth value. If one of them is true, then all of them must be true. And if one of them is false, then all of them must be false.

Suppose we've proven that p_1\implies p_2, p_2\implies p_3, p_3\implies p_1 (call these first, second and third implications).

If p_1 was true, then by the first implication that we proved, it would follow that p_2 is also true. And then by the second implication that we prove it would follow then that p_3 is also true. Therefore the three of them would be true. Notice the reasoning would have been the same if we had started assuming that the one that was true was either p_2~or~p_3. So one of them being true makes all of them be true.

On the other hand, if p_1 was false, then by the third implication that we proved, it would follow that p_3 has to be false (otherwise p_1 would have to be true, which would be a contradiction). And then, since p_3 is false, by the second implication that we proved it would follow that p_2 is false (otherwise p_3 would have to be true, which would be a contradiction). Therefore the three of them would be false. Notice the reasoning would have been the same if we had started assuming that the one that was false was either p_2~or~p_3. So one of them being false makes all of them be false.

So, the three propositions always have the same truth value, and so they're all equivalent.

Which associations best describe the scatter plot?
LenKa [72]

Answer: Here you go hope this helps

If a line is drawn through (twenty, seventy) and (twenty-five, sixty), then you can use the points in getting the equation.

Slope is = (60-70)/(25-20) = -2

Using the two-point slope form, y – y1 = m(x – x1)

               y – 70 = -2(x – 20)

               y – 70 = -2x + 40

               y = -2x + 110

The purpose of statistical inference is to make estimates or draw conclusions about a.

The purpose of statistical inference population based upon information obtained from the sample.

<h3>What is statistical inference?</h3>

statistical inference uses sample data to make estimates of or draw conclusions about one or more characteristics of a population.

The purpose of statistical inference is to estimate this sample to sample variation or uncertainty. Understanding how much our results may differ if we did the study again, or how uncertain our findings are, allows us to take this uncertainty into account when drawing conclusions. It allows us to provide a plausible range of values for the true value of something in the population, such as the mean, or size of an effect, and it allows us to make statements about whether our study provides evidence to reject a hypothesis.

We have four ideas for using the statistical inference.

1. Estimating uncertainty.

2. Confidence intervals.

3. Hypothesis tests.

4. Connections with other material.
