What is the value of x?

The function f(x)=(x-5)^2 +2 is not one-to-one. Identify a restricted domain that makes the function one-to-one, and find the in

Anon25 [30]

We have been given a quadratic function $f(x)=(x-5)^{2} +2$ and we need to restrict the domain such that it becomes a one to one function.

We know that vertex of this quadratic function occurs at (5,2).

Further, we know that range of this function is $[2,\infty)$ .

If we restrict the domain of this function to either $(-\infty,5]$ or $[5,\infty)$ , it will become one to one function.

Let us know find its inverse.

$y=(x-5)^{2}+2$

Upon interchanging x and y, we get:

$x=(y-5)^{2}+2$

Let us now solve this function for y.

$(y-5)^{2}=x-2\\
y-5=\pm \sqrt{x-2}\\
y=5\pm \sqrt{x-2}\\$

Hence, the inverse function would be $f^{-1}(x)=5+\sqrt{x-2}$ if we restrict the domain of original function to $[5,\infty)$ and the inverse function would be $f^{-1}(x)=5-\sqrt{x-2}$ if we restrict the domain to $(-\infty,5]$ .

A track star runs two races on a certain day. The probability thathe wins the first race is 0.7, the probability that he wins th

NARA [144]

Answer:

a) 80% probability that he wins at least one race.

b) 30% probability that he wins exactly one race.

c) 20% probability that he wins neither race.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this problem building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities.

I am going to say that:

A is the probability that he wins the first race.

B is the probability that he wins the second race.

C is the probability that he does not win any of these races.

We have that:

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

In which a is the probability that he wins the first race but not the second and $A \cap B$ is the probability that he wins both these races.

By the same logic, we have that:

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

The probability that he wins both races is 0.5.

This means that $A \cap B = 0.5$

The probability that he wins the second race is 0.6

This means that $B = 0.6$

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

$0.6 = b + 0.5$

$b = 0.1$

The probability that he wins the first race is 0.7.

This means that $A = 0.6$

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

$0.7 = a + 0.5$

$a = 0.2$

A) he wins at least one race.

This is

$P = a + b + (A \cap B) = 0.2 + 0.1 + 0.5 = 0.8$

There is an 80% probability that he wins at least one race.

B) he wins exactly one race.

This is

$P = a + b = 0.2 + 0.1 = 0.3$

There is a 30% probability that he wins exactly one race.

C) he wins neither race

Either he wins at least one race, or he wins neither. The sum of these probabilities is 100%.

From a), we have that there is an 80% probability that he wins at least one race.

So there is a 100-80 = 20% probability that he wins neither race.

What is the square root of 175

ankoles [38]

the square root of a number is: one number times itself equals that number. Confusing '-' An example is the square of 4 is 2 because 2 times 2 = 4, or the square root of 56 is 8 because 8 times 8 is 64. The square root of 175 is about 13.22875 because 13.22875 times 13.22875 = about 175

Prove that x=2 if 4^x=8x...where ^ stands for "to the power of".

Romashka [77]

In order to prove this, you simply plug in the number 2 everywhere you see X:

4^(2) = 8(2).

Simplify

16 = 16 √

Since this checks out, x is proven to be 2.
