Goryan [66]2 years ago

Answer:

  • 8/3
  • -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The integral from a to 4 is ...

\int\limits^4_a {(3x-1)} \, dx =\dfrac{3}{2} (4^2-a^2)-(4-a) = 20+a-\dfrac{3}{2}a^2

We want the value of this to be 12, so we can write ...

  -3/2a^2 +a +20 = 12

  3a^2 -2a -16 = 0 . . . . . subtract the left side and multiply by 2

  (3a -8)(a +2) = 0 . . . . . factor

  a = 8/3 or -2  . . . . . . . .values of a that make the factors zero

The only possible values of a are 8/3 and -2.

Answer:

Looking for four values or answers

(A) 5.05

(B) 13

(C) $254,140.33

(D) $254,145.38

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) The value of the margin of error.

Using a 90% confidence level or 0.10 alpha level,

1 - alpha = 1 - 0.10 = 0.90

The degrees of freedom = n - 1 = 14 - 1 = 13

Using the t table, 0.90 under 13 is 1.350

Sample size divided by √n is equal to

14/√14 = 3.742

1.35 × 3.742 = 5.05

(B) 13 degrees of freedom

(C) To find the lower and upper limits, you find the mean value first and then subtract / add to half of the margin of error which is 5.05÷2 = 2.525

Adding the 14 values together, you have $3,558,000

Dividing by 14 to get the mean;

Mean = $254,142.8571

Lower Limit: $254,140.33

Upper Limit: $254,145.38

A coordinate plane with a line passing through (negative 4, 3), (0, 1), and (4, negative 1). Which linear function is represente
9966 [12]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If these 3 points are collinear, then we can find the slope of the linear function using any 2 of those points.  Suppose we use (-4, 3) and (0, 1):  

As we move from (-4, 3) to (0, 1), x increases by 4 and y decreases by 2.  Hence, the slope of this lilne is m  = rise/run = -2/4, or m = -1/2.

Using the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b and replacing y with 1, x with 0 and m with -1/2, we get:

1 = (-1/2)(0) + b, or b = 1.  Then the desired equation is y = f(x) = (-1/2)x + 1

Suppose the number of gallons of gasoline per day used by a car is normally distributed with a mean of 2.2 gallons and a standar
const2013 [10]
The difference in gallons per day used is 3.6.

The formula to calculate a z-score is:
z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma},

where X is the value used to calculate the score, μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.  We have the z-scores so we must work backward:

3=\frac{X-2.2}{1.2}\text{ and }0=\frac{X-2.2}{1.2}

For both equations, we will cancel the 1.2 by multiplying both sides:
3\times1.2=(\frac{X-2.2}{1.2})\times1.2\text{ and }0\times1.2=(\frac{X-2.2}{1.2})\times1.2&#10;\\&#10;\\3.6=X-2.2\text{ and }0=X-2.2

Now we will cancel 2.2 from both equations by adding it to both sides:

3.6+2.2=X-2.2+2.2     and       0+2.2=X-2.2+2.2
5.8=X     and       2.2=X

The difference in gas used per day would be given by
5.8-2.2 = 3.6.
