Answer:

Domain: set of all real numbers

Range: $y \geq -5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the domain and range of the function:

$f(x) =5x^2+10x$

This is a quadratic function, shape of a "U", that's called a parabola.

The domain is the set of x values for which the function is defined.

The range is the set of y values for which the function is defined.

Normally, any parabola in the form $ax^2+bx+c$ has domain as "all real numbers". This is the case for this problem as well, thus,

Domain = set of all real numbers

Now, for the range, we have to look at the minimum value of the function. So, the range would be y values greater than or equal to the minimum number. Lets find the minimum value of this function.

We have to find the value of x for which the minimum occurs by using the formula:

$x=\frac{-b}{2a} =\frac{-10}{2(5)} =-1$

<em><u>Note: value of a is "5" and b is "10"</u></em>

Now, we plug this into the function to find the minimum value:

$f(x)=5x^2+10x\\f(-1)=5(-1)^2 +10(-1)\\f(-1)=-5$

So, the range is set of all real numbers greater than or equal to -5.

This is a map of three towns. It shows the train line and the highway that connects the towns. The north direction is shown. The

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

about 106 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the two towns can be estimated several ways. In the attachment, we chose to measure the angles on the map. Using the law of sines, we can estimate the unknown distance.

The distance can also be estimated using the Tounouse-Avaria distance as a ruler. For best results, that ruler would need to be subdivided to an appropriate level.

<h3>angle measures</h3>

The angles in the triangle can be measured using a protractor or some other tool. The attachment shows the results from a geometry program:

∠TMA ≈ 107°
∠TAM ≈ 24°

<h3>law of sines</h3>

The law of sines tells us the distances are proportional to the sines of the opposite angles:

TM/sin(TAM) = TA/sin(TMA)

TM = sin(24°)×(250 km)/sin(107°) ≈ 106.3 km

The distance from Tounouse to Mt. Monotti is estimated to be about 106 km.

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Using a compass or dividers to project the TM distance onto TA, we find it is between 0.4 and 0.5 of the TA distance. The difference between 2×TM and TA can be estimated to be about 0.4×TM. That is, ...

TM ≈ TA/2.4 ≈ (250 km)/2.4 ≈ 104.2 km

This estimate is consistent with the one found using angle measures.

2. The mean birth weight of a full term boy born in the US is 7.7 lbs, with standard deviation of 1.1 lbs. A. Find the probabili

Fed [463]

Answer:

The value is $P( X < 7 ) =0.26226$

The value is $P( X < 7 ) = 0.00073$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population mean is $\mu = 7.7 lbs$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 1.1 \ lbs$

The sample size is n = 25

Generally the probability that a boy born full term in the US weighs less than 7 lbs is mathematically represented as

$P( X < 7 ) = P( \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma} < \frac{7 - 7.7 }{1.1 } )$

$\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma } = Z (The \ standardized \ value\ of \ X )$

=> $P( X < 7 ) = P(Z$

From the z table the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to -0.6364 is

$P(Z$

=> $P( X < 7 ) =0.26226$

Generally the standard error of mean is mathematically represented as

$\sigma_{x} = \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }$

=> $\sigma_{x} = \frac{ 1.1 }{\sqrt{25} }$

=> $\sigma_{x} = 0.22$

Generally the probability that the average weight of 25 baby boys born in a particular hospital have an average weight less than 7 lbs is mathematically represented as

$P( \= X < 7 ) = P( \frac{\= X - \mu }{\sigma_{x}} < \frac{7 - 7.7 }{ 0.22 } )$
