Given h of x equals negative 2 times the square root of x minus 3 end root, which of the following statements describes h(x)?

MrMuchimi

Answer:

The function h(x) is decreasing on the interval (3, ∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

Please take a look at the attached image.

You will see a graph of the given function h(x) = -2 $\sqrt{x-3}$ . The function is decreasing.

The function starts at 3 and starts to go towards negative infinity on the x-axis. Therefore the function is decreasing on the interval (3, ∞).

Find a linear equation to model this real-world application:

SSSSS [86.1K]

The linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses is y = 2.5x + 3650

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the units produced in a month

It costs ABC electronics company $2.50 per unit to produce a part used in a popular brand of desktop computers.

Cost per unit = $ 2.50

The company has monthly operating expenses of $350 for utilities and $3300 for salaries

We have to write the linear equation

The linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses in the form of:

y = mx + b

Cost per unit = $ 2.50

Monthly Expenses = $ 350 for utilities and $ 3300 for salaries

Let "y" be the total monthly expenses per month

Then,

Total expenses = Cost per unit(number of units) + Monthly Expenses

$y = 2.50(x) + 350 + 3300\\\\y = 2.5x + 3650$

Thus the linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses is y = 2.5x + 3650

A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 618 grams and a standard deviation of 24 grams. If you pic

Lorico [155]

Answer: The probability is 0.5136.

To find this probability we have to find the range of the values on the normal distribution table.

First, we need to find the percent for each making z-score.

Lower end: 50/24 = 2.08 = 0.0183

Upper end: 2/24 = 0.08 = 0.5319

Now, that we have the upper and lower ends, we can subtract them to find the difference or the range.

0.5319 - 0.0183 = 0.5136

There is a 51.36% chance they are in the given range.

The port of South Louisiana, located along 54 miles of the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, is the largest

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

a) 0.7287

b) 0.9663

c) 0.237

d) 3.65 tons of cargo per week or more that will require the port to extend its operating hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 4.5 million tons of cargo per week

Standard Deviation, σ = 0 .82 million tons

We are given that the distribution of number of tons of cargo handled per week is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

a) P( port handles less than 5 million tons of cargo per week)

P(x < 5)

$P( x < 5) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{5 - 4.5}{0.82}) = P(z < 0.609)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x < 5) =0.7287= 72.87\%$

b) P( port handles 3 or more million tons of cargo per week)

$P(x \geq 3) = P(z \geq \displaystyle\frac{3-4.5}{0.82}) = P(z \geq −1.82926)\\\\P( z \geq −1.82926) = 1 - P(z < -1.829)$

Calculating the value from the standard normal table we have,

$1 - 0.0337 = 0.9663 = 96.63\%\\P( x \geq 3) = 96.63\%$

c)P( port handles between 3 million and 4 million tons of cargo per week)

$P(3 \leq x \leq 4) = P(\displaystyle\frac{3 - 4.5}{0.82} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{4-4.5}{0.82}) = P(-1.829 \leq z \leq -0.609)\\\\= P(z \leq -0.609) - P(z < -1.829)\\= 0.271-0.034 = 0.237= 23.7\%$
