-5(1) (-9) = -5(-9) = when the numbers are both negative it becomes positive so you multiply your numbers and the answer is 45

Because the time right at launch equals 0 (0 seconds have passed since the launch) solve the equation for 0.
-5(0 + 1)(0 - 9)
-5(1)(-9)
-5(-9)
45
The object was 45 metres above the ground at the time of the launch.

The auto parts department of an automotive dealership sends out a mean of 4.34.3 special orders daily. What is the probability t

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

$P(X = 5) = 0.166$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Mean = 4.3$

$x = 5$

Required

Determine the probability that the order is 5

This question can be answered using Poisson distribution.

$P(X = x) = \frac{\alpha ^x e^{-\alpha}}{x!}$

Where

$\alpha$ is used to represent the mean

and

$\alpha = 4.3$

$x = 5$

$e = 2.71828$ ---- Euler's constant

So, we have:

$P(X = x) = \frac{\alpha ^x e^{-\alpha}}{x!}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{4.3^5 * 2.71828^{-4.3}}{5!}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{4.3^5 * 2.71828^{-4.3}}{5* 4 * 3 * 2 *1}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{4.3^5 * 2.71828^{-4.3}}{120}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{1470.08443 * 0.01356859825}{120}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{19.9469850243}{120}$

$P(X = 5) = 0.1662248752$

$P(X = 5) = 0.166$ Approximated

Determine whether each mapping represents a function. Explain your reasoning.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

The first picture is a function and the second picture is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reason - In the first picture, there is no repeating value of x. In other words, every x value has a y value. However, in the second picture, the x value, 2 goes to 2 and -3.
