Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function which crosses through (1,3) and (2,9) will have a base of 3 since the y values are multiples of 3.

3^1 = 3

3^2 = 9

This means that the function is y = 3^x.

y = 3x

Substitute the two points into the equation y = abx, giving 3 = ab1 and 9 = ab2.

Since a = a, then

, rearranged yields 3b2 = 9b1 → 3b2 − 9b = 0 → b(3b − 9) = 0

Thus, b = 0 or b = 3.

A curve of exponential function never drop below the x-axis, ignore any values of b that are less than or equal to zero.

Therefore, insert b = 3 into

= a and

= a → a = 1 for both equations.

y = abx

y = (1)(3x)

y = 3x

Suppose that y varies inversely with x.Write an equation for the inverse variation Y=4 when x=7

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

If y varies inversely as x, then we write it as:

y = k/x

where k is some constant.

If we multiply both sides of this equation by x we get an equation for k:

k = x*y

We are given that y=4 when x=7, therefore:

k = 7*4 = 28

Put this back into our original equation to get:

y = 28/x

Let D be the event that a randomly chosen person has seen a dermatologist. Let S be the event that a randomly chosen person has

SSSSS [86.1K]

Given:

D be the event that a randomly chosen person has seen a dermatologist.

S be the event that a randomly chosen person has had surgery for skin cancer.

To find:

The correct notation for the probability that a randomly chosen person has had surgery for skin cancer, given that the person has seen a dermatologist.

Solution:

Conditional probability: Probability of A given B is:

$P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}$

Let D be the event that a randomly chosen person has seen a dermatologist.

Let S be the event that a randomly chosen person has had surgery for skin cancer.

Using the conditional probability, the correct notation for the probability that a randomly chosen person has had surgery for skin cancer, given that the person has seen a dermatologist is P(S|D).

Therefore, the correct option is D.
