Answer:
, see the graph attached for a visual reference.
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertical asymptotes are only present in rational functions where the parent function
has a vertical asymptote at the line
and a horizontal asymptote at the line
. Because the vertical asymptote has to be
, the denominator must be x-7 in order for the denominator to equal 0. For the horizontal asymptote to be
, then 3 must be subtracted from the rational function. Therefore, the function that has these asymptotes is
.
Answer:
John lost $6841.42.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's find out how much John paid for the stock he bought. Each share cost $58.02. He bought 120 shares. Multiply the price by the number of shares.
58.02 x 120 = 6962.40
He sold the stock for $120.98 -- a huge loss! (We are not told that the $120.98 is the selling price of one share, so I'm assuming that's what John sold all his shares for.)
Find the difference to see what his loss was.
$6962.40 - $120.98 = $6841.42 LOST!
So our two equations are y=-8x-4 and y=-16, and since in both equations, something equals the same y, those two are the same. So we can combine the two into -16=-8x-4. In the question, they are asking to solve for x. So to do that, you need to isolate your variable. Now for solving algebraic equations, you use reverse PEMDAS (SADMEP), meaning you add 4 to both sides to clear the -4 one the rights side to get -12=-8x. Then you divide both sides by -8 to get 12/8, which simplifies to 3/2.
A. The point estimate would be the average of the interval boundaries, which is the average of 48.2 and 56.4. This gives a point estimate of 52.3%.
b. The margin of error is the distance from either interval boundary to the point estimate. 56.4 - 52.3 = 4.1%.
c. Assuming this is solely going to be based on the class' decision, their grades should be scored on a curve. Although the margin of error is high and this seems to not have a significant distance from 50%, there is no "middle ground" in this option. We must either grade on a curve or not, and if we must choose one, we have to use to point estimate that is just slightly above 50%.
