Answer:

The common difference would be -6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence,

9, 2.5, -4, -10.5, -17, ...

Since,

2.5 - 9 = -4 - 2.5 = -10.5 + 4 = -17+10.5 ... = -6.5

Thus, 9, 2.5, -4, -10.5, -17, ... is an AP,

In an AP the difference between any two consecutive terms is called the common difference.

Hence, the common difference would be -6.5

T what point does the curve have maximum curvature? Y = 7ex (x, y) = what happens to the curvature as x → ∞? Κ(x) approaches as

Nookie1986 [14]

Formula for curvature for a well behaved curve y=f(x) is

K(x)= $\frac{|{y}''|}{[1+{y}'^2]^\frac{3}{2}}$

The given curve is y=7 $e^{x}$

${y}''=7e^{x}\\ {y}'=7e^{x}$

k(x)= $\frac{7e^{x}}{[{1+(7e^{x})^2}]^\frac{3}{2}}$

${k(x)}'=\frac{7(e^x)(1+49e^{2x})(49e^{2x}-\frac{1}{2})}{[1+49e^{2x}]^{3}}$

For Maxima or Minima

${k(x)}'=0$

$7(e^x)(1+49e^{2x})(98e^{2x}-1)=0$

→ $e^{x}=0∨ 1+49e^{2x}=0∨98e^{2x}-1=0$

$e^{x}=0 , ∧ 1+49e^{2x}=0$ [not possible ∵there exists no value of x satisfying these equation]

→ $98e^{2x}-1=0$

Solving this we get

x= $-\frac{1}{2}\ln{98}$

As you will evaluate ${k(x})}''$ <0 at x= $-\frac{1}{2}\ln98$

So this is the point of Maxima. we get y=7×1/√98=1/√2

(x,y)=[ $-\frac{1}{2}\ln98$ ,1/√2]

k(x)= $\lim_{x\to\infty } \frac{7e^{x}}{[{1+(7e^{x})^2}]^\frac{3}{2}}$

k(x)= $\frac{7}{\infty}$

k(x)=0

Select all of the following statements that are true:

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

B. You shouldnt take a random sample of more than 5% of the population size.

Step-by-step explanation:

B. You shouldnt take a random sample of more than 5% of the population size. This is True, so as to avoid the research analysis to be more complex to interpret and analyzed

However, the following are not true statements:

A. Random samples only generate unbiased estimates of long-run proportions, not long-run means. This is False, as there may be sampling error, when picking the sample, which will lead to bias estimates in the long run proportions

C. There is no way that a random sample of 100 people can be representative of all adults living in the United States. This is False, as using the right factors such as gender, age, income, etc, in selecting the sample, 100 people is enough to use as sample of adults living in the United States

D. If this question is voted out, the alternate option is "larger samples are always better than smaller samples, regardless of how the sample was collected." This is False, larger samples are not always better than smaller samples. In fact, they are often difficult to analyze and interpret.

E. Nonrandom samples are always poor representations of the population: This is False, depending on the expected outcome of the research study. Some research studies required the research to use Nonrandom samples to reach verifiable conclusion.

Question 12 Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)(07.05 MC)1086Which of the following functions best represents the graph?fix)=(x-2)(x

vlada-n [284]

The graph of a function is given. It is required to find the function that represents the graph.

Notice from the graph that the function has roots or zeros at -3,-2, and 2.

Hence, the function takes the form:

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=a(x-(-3))(x-(-2))(x-2) \\ \Rightarrow f(x)=a(x+3)(x+2)(x-2) \end{gathered}$

Where a is a constant to be determined.

Notice that the given graph passes through the point (0,-12).

Substitute x=0 and f(x)=-12 into the equation of the function to find a:

$\begin{gathered} -12=a(0+3)(0+2)(0-2) \\ \Rightarrow-12=a(3)(2)(-2) \\ \Rightarrow-12=-12a \\ \text{ Swap the sides of the equation:} \\ \Rightarrow-12a=-12 \\ \text{ Divide both sides by }-12: \\ \Rightarrow\frac{-12a}{-12}=\frac{-12}{-12} \\ \Rightarrow a=1 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the function is:

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=1(x+3)(x+2)(x-2) \\ \Rightarrow f(x)=(x+2)(x+3)(x-2) \end{gathered}$ <h2>The third option is the answer: f(x)=(x+2)(x+3)(x-2).</h2>
