Why is a the y-intercept of the graph of the function y=ab^x

1 answer:

3 0

The y-intercept occurs on a graph when x = 0. Therefore on a graph of y= ab^x when x = 0, y = ab^0 = 1. Therefore the y-intercept is at the point (0,1).
Hope this helps!

Answer:

z = 2.1784 > 1.96,

Reject the null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

For the males:

n1 = 162, x1 = 63

P1 = x 1/ n1 = 0.3889

For the Females:

n2 = 333,

x2 = 97

P 2 = x2/n2

= 0.2913

P 1= P2 Null hypothesis

P 1 is not equal to P 2 alternative hypothesis

Pooled proportion:

P= (x1 + x2) /( n1+ n2)

= (63 + 97) / (162 + 333)= 0.3232

Test statistics :

Z= (p1 - p2) /√p(1-p)× (1/n1 + 1/n2)

0.3889- 0.2913 / √0.3232 × 0.6768 × (1/162 +1/333)

=2.1784

c) Critical value :

Two tailed critical value, z critical = Norm.S .INV (0.05/2) = 1.960

Reject H o if z < -1.96 or if z > 1.96

d) Decision:

z = 2.1784 > 1.96,

Reject the null hypothesis

You go to an arcade and purchase a card with game credits. After playing 5 games you have 33 credits left. You play 4 more games

Answer:

$y=-3x+48$

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use slope-intercept form of equation to write our equation. The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is: $y=mx+b$ , where m= Slope of the line, b= y-intercept.

To write the equation that represents the number of credits y on the cards after x games, we will find slope of our line.

We have been given that after playing 5 games we have 33 credits left. We play 4 more games and we have 21 credits left. So our points will be (5,33) and (9,21).

Let us substitute coordinates of our both given points in slope formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ,
