The Curve has negative rate of change for negative values of x

I.e in the interval - infinity to 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The change in the rate for the given function is obtained calculating the first derivative.

So dy/dx = dH(x)/dx = 2*x

Step 2:

This rate of change will be negative when the dy/ dx is less than 0

So dy/dx = 2x < 0 => x< 0

So for values of x less than 0 the function has negative values for the rate of change.

Which equation can pair with 3x + 4y = 8 to create a consistent and independent system? 6x + 8y = 16 –3x – 4y = –6 6x – 3y = 2 –

pogonyaev

The right answer is C)

Consistent and independent system of two linear equations is a system such that there is only one solution for the system, that is, the two straight lines cross at a point. So we can analyze each case and I have attached some graphs to provided you with examples. Those graphs aren't about the equations but it's about general cases:

A) Consistent and dependent. If we divide this given equation by 2 we get the same line. (See Figure 1)

B) Inconsistent. No solutions. (See Figure 2)

C) Consistent and Independent. (See Figure 3)

D) Consistent and dependent.

a certain triangle has a perimeter of 3067 mi. the shortest side measures 71 mi less than the middle side and the longest side m

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The measure of the shortest side is 851 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the measure of the shortest side

y ---> the measure of the middle side

z ---> the measure of the longest side

we know that

The perimeter of triangle is equal to

$P=x+y+z$

$P=3,067\ mi$

$3,067=x+y+z$ ----> equation A

the shortest side measures 71 mi less than the middle side

$x=y-71$ ----> equation B

the longest side measures 372 mi more the the middle side

$z=y+372$ ----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A

$3,067=(y-71)+y+(y+372)$

solve for y

$3,067=3y+301\\3y=2,766\\y=922$

Find the value of x

$x=y-71\\x=922-71\\x=851$

therefore

The measure of the shortest side is 851 miles

An automobile company wants to determine the average amount of time it takes a machine to assemble a car. A sample of 40 times y

aksik [14]

Answer:

A 98% confidence interval for the mean assembly time is [21.34, 26.49] .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a sample of 40 times yielded an average time of 23.92 minutes, with a sample standard deviation of 6.72 minutes.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample average time = 23.92 minutes

s = sample standard deviation = 6.72 minutes

n = sample of times = 40

$\mu$ = population mean assembly time

Here for constructing a 98% confidence interval we have used a One-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation.

So, a 98% confidence interval for the population mean, $\mu$ is;

P(-2.426 < $t_3_9$ < 2.426) = 0.98 {As the critical value of z at 1% level

of significance are -2.426 & 2.426}

P(-2.426 < $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 2.426) = 0.98

P( $-2.426 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < ${\bar X-\mu}$ < $2.426 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.98

P( $\bar X-2.426 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X+2.426 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.98

98% confidence interval for $\mu$ = [ $\bar X-2.426 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ , $\bar X+2.426 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ]

= [ $23.92-2.426 \times {\frac{6.72}{\sqrt{40} } }$ , $23.92+2.426 \times {\frac{6.72}{\sqrt{40} } }$ ]

= [21.34, 26.49]

Therefore, a 98% confidence interval for the mean assembly time is [21.34, 26.49] .
