There are 8 hamsters at Crazy Pete's Pet Shop that are completely brown. The rest of the hamsters at the shop are mixed colors.

The 8 brown hamsters represent 25 of the total number of hamsters at the pet shop. Write and solve an equation, using the variable h, to find the total number of hamsters at the pet shop.

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Domain : 0 ≤ t ≤ 3

Range : -4 ≤ d ≤ 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph attached models the depth of submarine as a function of time.

Points on x-axis represent the time and points on y-axis represent increase in height of the submarine.

Domain of a function is represented by the points on x-axis.

Therefore, Domain : 0 ≤ t ≤ 3

Range of function is represented by te points on y-axis.

Therefore, Range : -4 ≤ d ≤ 0

A new roller coaster at an amusement park requires individuals to be at least 4' 8" (56 inches) tall to ride. It is estimated

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a) 34.46% of 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride this coaster.

b) 78.81% of 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride this coaster

c) 44.35% of 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride the coaster in part b but not tall enough to ride the coaster in part a

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 54, \sigma = 5$

a. What proportion of 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride the coaster?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 56.

So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{56 - 54}{5}$

$Z = 0.4$

$Z = 0.4$ has a pvalue of 0.6554

1 - 0.6554 = 0.3446

34.46% of 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride this coaster.

b. A smaller coaster has a height requirement of 50 inches to ride. What proportion of 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride this coaster?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 50.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{50 - 54}{5}$

$Z = -0.8$

$Z = -0.8$ has a pvalue of 0.2119

1 - 0.2119 = 0.7881

78.81% of 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride this coaster.

c. What proportion of 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride the coaster in part b but not tall enough to ride the coaster in part a?

Between 50 and 56 inches, which is the pvalue of Z when X = 56 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 50.

From a), when X = 56, Z has a pvalue of 0.6554

From b), when X = 50, Z has a pvalue of 0.2119

0.6554 - 0.2119 = 0.4435

44.35% of 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride the coaster in part b but not tall enough to ride the coaster in part a

Write the equation of the quadratic function that passes through the points (-1, 1), (1, 5), and (2,10).

Serjik [45]

Answer:

$\displaystyle f(x)=x^2+2x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System Of Linear Equations </u>

In this problem, we'll need to solve a 3x3 system of linear equations because we have three unknowns and three conditions.

We are required to find the equation of the quadratic function that passes through the points (-1, 1), (1, 5), and (2,10)

The general quadratic function can be written as

$\displaystyle f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$

We need to find the values of a,b, and c. Let's use the first condition, i.e. f(-1)=1

$\displaystyle f(-1)=a(-1)^2+b(-1)+c$

$\displaystyle f(-1)=a-b+c$

$\displaystyle a-b+c=1.....[eq\ 1]$

Now we use the second condition f(1)=5

$\displaystyle f(1)=a(1)^2+b(1)+c$

$\displaystyle f(1)=a+b+c$

$\displaystyle a+b+c=5.......[eq\ 2]$

Finally, we use the third condition f(2)=10

$\displaystyle f(2)=a(2)^2+b(2)+c$

$\displaystyle f(2)=4a+2b+c$

$\displaystyle 4a+2b+c=10....[eq\ 3]$

We put together eq 1, eq 2, and eq 3 to form the system

$\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}a-b+c=1\\ a+b+c=5\\ 4a+2b+c=10\end{matrix}\right.$

Adding the first two equations we have

$\displaystyle 2a+2c=6$

$\displaystyle a+c=3$

And also

$\displaystyle b=2$

Using the above equation and the value of b in the third equation, we have

$\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}a+c=3\\ 4a+c=6\end{matrix}\right.$

Subtracting the first equation from the second

$\displaystyle 3a=3$

$\displaystyle a=1$

And therefore

$\displaystyle c=2$

Now we have all the values, the quadratic function is

$\displaystyle \boxed{f(x)=x^2+2x+2}$
