Answer:

  a.  -25

  b.  -52

  c.  54

  d.  8/7 = 1 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate each of the functions for each of the variable values and compute the composite as defined.

a. (f+g)(3) = f(3) + g(3) = 3^2 -5·3 + 8 -3^3 = -25

___

b. (g -f)(4) = g(4) -f(4) = 8 -4^3 -(4^2 -5·4) = 8 -64 -16 +20 = -52

___

c. (f*g)(-1) = f(-1) · g(-1) = ((-1)^2 -5(-1)) · (8 -(-1)^3) = 6·9 = 54

___

d. (g/f)(-2) = (8 -(-2)^3)/((-2)^2 -5(-2)) = (8+8)/(4+10) = 16/14 = 8/7

<em>_____</em>

<em>Comment on approach to the problem</em>

When there are a number of evaluations of the same function with different values of the variable, it can be convenient to let a calculator or spreadsheet do those for you.

A candle is 9 inches long. Ronnie lights the candle and records the height of the candle, y inches, for x hours.​
DochEvi [55]

In the future, please post the full problem with all included instructions. After doing a quick internet search, I found your problem listed somewhere else. It mentions two parts (a) and (b)

Part (a) asked for the equation of the line in y = mx+b form

That would be y = -2x+9

This is because each time y goes down by 2, x goes up by 1. We have slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2. This indicates that the height of the candle decreases by 2 inches per hour. The slope represents the rate of change.

The initial height of the candle is the y intercept b value. So we have m = -2 and b = 9 lead us from y = mx+b to y = -2x+9

----------------------------------------------------------------

Part (b) then asks you to graph the equation. Because this is a linear equation, it produces a straight line. We only need 2 points at minimum to graph any line. Let's plot (0,9) and (1,7) on the same xy grid. These two points are the first two rows of the table. Plot those two points and draw a straight line through them. The graph is below

Answer:

Stratified design with color of paper as the blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental design that this question uses is the stratified design with color of paper as the blocks

A stratified design is one where the population has been divided into strata that are homogeneous. A good number of participants would then be picked for each of the stratum. The homogeneous strata are also known as the blocks and here in this question we have color of paper as the block here.

The students are of different school levels, elementary, high school and middle school. Each of these levels have 100 students. The students in each levels are halved and each half is randomly assigned information on either a white paper or a blue paper.
