For this case we must indicate an expression equivalent to:

$(b ^ 5) ^ 2$

We have that by definition of properties of powers that is fulfilled:

$(a ^ n) ^ m = a ^ {n * m}$

Now, we can rewrite the given expression as:

$(b ^ 5) ^ 2 = b ^ {5 * 2} = b ^ {10}$

ANswer:

$b^{10}$

Option A

b^10 would be the correct answer :)

Use the four-step process to find f'(x) and then find f'(1), f'(2), and f'(3).

Soloha48 [4]

Step 1: evaluate f(x+h) and f(x)

We have

$f(x+h) = -(x+h)^2+6(x+h)-5 = -(x^2+2xh+h^2)+6x+6h-5$

$= -x^2-2xh-h^2+6x+6h-5$

And, of course,

$f(x)=-x^2+6x-5$

Step 2: evaluate f(x+h)-f(x)

$f(x+h)-f(x)=-x^2-2xh-h^2+6x+6h-5-(-x^2+6x-5)=-2xh-h^2+6h$

Step 3: evaluate (f(x+h)-f(x))/h

$\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=-2x-h+6$

Step 4: evaluate the limit of step 3 as h->0

$f'(x) = \displaystyle \lim_{h\to 0} \dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=-2x+6$

So, we have

$f'(1) = -2\cdot 1+6 = 4,\quad f'(2) = -2\cdot 2+6 = 2,\quad f'(3) = -2\cdot 3+6 = 0$

Precalculus VECTORS. Please help me and also explain how to solve . Thank you

Andreyy89

You have two vectors: $\vec{a}=(2,-1)$ and $\vec{b}=(3,3).$

In order to find the sum $\vec{a}+\vec{b}$ of vectors $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ , you should add corresponding coordinates:

$\vec{a}+\vec{b}=(2,-1)+(3,3)=(2+3,-1+3)=(5,2).$

Answer: correct choice is C.

A consumer group selected 100 different airplanes at random from each of two large airlines. The mean seat width for the 100 air

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Decreasing the sample size decreases the width of the confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let s be the sample standard deviation and $\bar X$ be the sample mean.

#We calculate the 95% confidence interval for the sample size 100 as below:

$\bar X\pm z_{0.05/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\\=\bar X\pm 1.960\times\frac{s}{\sqrt{50}}\\\\\\=\bar X\pm 0.1960s$

#we then calculate the confidence interval of sample size =50 and of similar mean and standard deviation:

$\bar X\pm z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\\=\bar X\pm z_{0.05/2}\times\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\\=\bar X\pm1.960\times \frac{s}{\sqrt{50}}\\\\\\\\=\bar X\pm0.2772s$

#Notice that the smaller sample(n=50) has a narrower confidence interval.

Hence, decreasing the sample size decreases the width of the confidence interval.
