In 1993, the sports league introduced a salary cap that limits the amount of money spent on players' salaries. The quadratic mod

el y =0.2313x2 +2.600x + 35.17
approximates this cap in millions of dollars for the years 1993-2013, where x = 0 represents 1993, X = 1 represents 1994, and so on. Complete parts a and b.

Answer:

a. The approximated salary cap in 2009 is $136.0 millions

b. The salary cap reached 65 million dollars in 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The quadratic model of the salary cap in million is

y = 0.2313 x² + 2.600 x + 35.17

- The approximation of this cap in millions of dollars for the years

1993-2013 where x = 0 represents 1993, x = 1 represents 1994,

and so on

a. Lets calculate the approximated sports league salary cap in 2009

∵ x at 2009 = 2009 - 1993 = 16

∵ y = 0.2313 x² + 2.600 x + 35.17

∴ y = 0.2313 (16)² + 2.600 (16) + 35.17

∴ y = 135.98 ≅ 136.0 millions

* The approximated salary cap in 2009 is $136.0 millions

b. Lets calculate in what year did the salary cap reach 65 million dollars

∵ y = 65

∵ y = 0.2313 x² + 2.600 x + 35.17

∴ 65 = 0.2313 x² + 2.600 x + 35.17

- Subtract 65 from both sides

∴ 0.2313 x² + 2.600 x - 29.83 = 0

- Use the calculator to find the value of x by solving the quadratic

equation

∴ x = 7.05 and x = -18.29 (we will reject this value)

∴ x ≅ 7 years

∴ The salary cap reached 65 million dollars in (1993 + 7) = 2000

* The salary cap reached 65 million dollars in 2000

A programmer plans to develop a new software system. In planning for the operating system that he will use, he needs to estimat

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Using the z-distribution, we have that:

a) A sample of 601 is needed.

b) A sample of 93 is needed.

c) A. Yes, using the additional survey information from part (b) dramatically reduces the sample size.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which z is the z-score that has a p-value of $\frac{1+\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

95% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.95$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975$ , so $z = 1.96$ .

For this problem, we consider that we want it to be within 4%.

Item a:

The sample size is <u>n for which M = 0.04.</u>

There is no estimate, hence $\pi = 0.5$

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}$

$0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.04}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.04}\right)^2$

$n = 600.25$

Rounding up:

A sample of 601 is needed.

Item b:

The estimate is $\pi = 0.96$ , hence:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.96(0.04)}{n}}$

$0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}}{0.04}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}}{0.04}\right)^2$

$n = 92.2$

Rounding up:

A sample of 93 is needed.

Item c:

The closer the estimate is to $\pi = 0.5$ , the larger the sample size needed, hence, the correct option is A.

Find(f+g)(x) for the following functions. f(x) = 12x2 + 7x + 2 g(x) = 9x + 7

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

(f + g)(x) = 12x² + 16x + 9 ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- We can add and subtract two function by adding and subtracting their

like terms

Ex: If f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = 5 - 7x, then

(f + g)(x) = 2x + 3 + 5 - 7x = 8 - 5x

(f - g)(x) = 2x + 3 - (5 - 7x) = 2x + 3 - 5 + 7x = 9x - 2

* Lets solve the problem

∵ f(x) = 12x² + 7x + 2

∵ g(x) = 9x + 7

- To find (f + g)(x) add their like terms

∴ (f + g)(x) = (12x² + 7x + 2) + (9x + 7)

∵ 7x and 9x are like terms

∵ 2 and 7 are like terms

∴ (f + g)(x) = 12x² + (7x + 9x) + (2 + 7)

∴ (f + g)(x) = 12x² + 16x + 9

* (f + g)(x) = 12x² + 16x + 9
