Answer:

4. 8.8 years

5. 8.6 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

4. The process of solving the equation f(x) = g(x) gives rise to a 4th-degree equation. Those are best solved using some sort of machine solver. A graphing calculator is often a good place to start. If you're going to do that anyway, you may as well start with a graphical solution to the question.

A plot of the two curves finds they intersect at about x = 8.8. (See the first attachment.) This avoids the extraneous solutions introduced by the process of eliminating the radical.

5. Analytical solution is simpler here, but the graphing calculator is faster yet. It shows the two rocks are at the same height at 8.6 meters (if they're launched at the same time).

... f(x) = g(x)

... -4.9x^2 +17 = -4.9x^2 +13x

... 17 = 13x . . . . . add 4.9x^2

... 17/13 = x . . . . time when rocks meet

... f(17/13) = -4.9(17/13)^2 +17 = -1416.1/169 +17 ≈ 8.62071

... f(17/13) ≈ 8.6 . . . . height at which rocks meet

25.What is the average rate of change for the sequence shown?

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Given the following points:

(1, 4): (2, 2.5): (3, 1) and (4, -0.5).

We are asked to find the average rate of change of the sequence.

The average rate of change for the sequence is the slope and it can be solved using the slope formula.

Slope (m) = y2 - y1

x2 - x1

So, lets choose two points on the line and substitute into the formular.

(1, 4) and (2, 2.5)

where:

x1 = 1

x2 = 2

y1 = 4

y2 = 2.5

m = 2.5 - 4

2 - 1

m = -1.5/1

m = -1.5

m = -1 1/2

Therefore, the correct option is the second option.

Suppose that Y varies directly with X, and Y = 4 when X = 16

mylen [45]

Answer:

find k first

y=kx

4=k16

k=0.25

then find y

y=kx

y=0.25x3

y=0.75

The function y=sin^3 x/cos^3 x is (an even, an odd, neither an even nor an odd function) function, and the function y=1/sec^3 x

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sustiute 1 and -1 to x y=tan^3(x) you get postive and negative values , odd function

y=1/sec^3 x is even and same goes on

A major credit card company is investigating whether the distribution of the number of credit cards used by its customers has ch

Mumz [18]

Answer:

C) If the null hypothesis were true, there is a 2 percent chance of obtaining a chi-square value of at least 7.82.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the chi-square test statistic was 7.82 and the p- value is 0.02. This means that if the null hypothesis were true there is a 2 percent chance of obtaining a chi square value of at least 7.82

The p- value is defined as obtaining the test statistic under H0 as extreme as observed.

When the p- value is less than 0.05 in the chi square goodness fit test it means that the null hypothesis is rejected.

There fore option C is the best answer.

A)There is a 2 percent chance that the company's claim is correct.

B) There is a 2 percent chance of obtaining a chi-square value of at least 7.82.

C) If the null hypothesis were true, there is a 2 percent chance of obtaining a chi-square value of at least 7.82.

D) If the null hypothesis were true, there is a 2 percent chance that the company's claim is correct.

E) If the null hypothesis were true, there is a 2 percent chance of obtaining a chi-square value of 7.82.
