Does a vending machine represent a function and why?

Mathematics
1 answer:
OLEGan [10]3 years ago

Sure, depending on how the machine is constructed or programmed.

A function can represent any process that takes some input and assigns exactly one output to it. In the case of a simple vending machine, there could one button or sequence of button presses that correspond to the delivery of a certain drink or snack (provided that enough money is fed into the machine first).

A machine that wouldn't qualify as representing a function would be one that consistently offers two or more different drinks.

A population has a mean of 300 and a standard deviation of 70. Suppose a sample of size 125 is selected and is used to estimate
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

a:  0.8884

b: 0.9934

Step-by-step explanation:

We have µ = 300 and σ = 70.  The sample size, n = 125.  

For the sample to be within 8 units of the population mean, we would have sample values of 292 and 308, so we want to find:

P(292 < x < 308).

We need to find the z-scores that correspond to these values using the given data.  See attached photo 1 for the calculation of these scores.

We have P(292 < x < 308) = 0.8884

Next we want the probability of the sample mean to be within 17 units of the population mean, so we want the values from 283 to 317.  We want to find

P(283 < x < 317)

We need to find the z-scores that correspond to these values.  See photo 2 for the calculation of these scores.

We have P(283 < x < 317) = 0.9934

What is the value of x in the equation -2/3 x +9= 4/3x -3?
HACTEHA [7]

-2/3x+9=4/3x-3 original problem add 2/3x to both sides

9=6/3x-3 simplify 6/3 to 2 and add 3 to both sides

12=2x  divide both sides by 2

x=6

hope that helps

ASAP! GIVING BRAINLIEST! Please read the question THEN answer CORRECTLY! NO guessing. I say no guessing because people usually g
daser333 [38]

Answer:

C. F(x) = 4x² + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

→The function F(x) shifted 1 unit upwards, meaning there needs to be a 1 being added to the function.

→In addition, the function F(x) has grown narrower, compared to the function G(x). This is from the absolute value of a number being greater than 1, which is being multiplied.

<u>This means the correct answer should be "C. F(x) = 4x² + 1."</u>

What is the value of the numerical expression 5/8-5/12(3-1/4)+2/3
vlabodo [156]
Make bottom numbers same
find least common multipules of 8,12,4 and 3
8=2 times  2 times 2
12=2 times 2 times 3
4=2 times 2
3=3
lcm=2 times 2 times 2 times 3=24

5/8 times 3/3=15/24
5/12 times 2/2=10/24
3/1 times 24/24=72/24
1/4 times 6/6=6/24
2/3 times 8/8=16/24
we now have
15/24-10/24(72/24-6/24)+16/24
pemdas
simplify parenthasees first
72/24-6/24=66/24

now we have
15/24-10/24(66/24)+16/24
multiply
15/24-660/576+16/24
make same bottom number
15/24 times 24/24=360/576
16/24 times 24/24=384/576
360/576-660/576+384/576
84/576
7/48

answer is 7/48
