F(x) = x^2 - 8x + 5

f(-1) = -1^2 - 8(-1) + 5
f(-1) = 1 + 8 + 5
f(-1) = 14 <==

A survey of 280 homeless persons showed that 63 were veterans. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of homeles

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

[0.184, 0.266]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of survey n =280

Number of veterans = 63

Confidence interval = 90%

Computation:

Probability of veterans = 63/280

Probability of veterans =0.225

a=0.1

Z(0.05) = 1.645 (from distribution table)

Confidence interval = 90%

So,

p ± Z*√[p(1-p)/n]

0.225 ± 1.645√(0.225(1-0.225)/280)

[0.184, 0.266]

If f(x) = 4(3x - 5), find f^-1(x)

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call f(x)=y, so y= 4*(3*x-5), we want to find 'x', using 'y' as a the variable.

$y=12x-20\\ y+20=12x\\ x=\frac{y+20}{12}$

Now lets change the name of 'y' to 'x', and 'x' to f^-1(x).

f-1(x) = (x+20)/12

A ball is thrown into the air by a baby alien on a planet in the system of Alpha Centauri with a velocity of 30 ft/s. Its height

Crank

Answer:

a) h = 0.1: $\bar v = -11\,\frac{ft}{s}$ , h = 0.01: $\bar v = -10.1\,\frac{ft}{s}$ , h = 0.001: $\bar v = -10\,\frac{ft}{s}$ , b) The instantaneous velocity of the ball when $t = 2\,s$ is $-10$ feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We know that $y = 30\cdot t -10\cdot t^{2}$ describes the position of the ball, measured in feet, in time, measured in seconds, and the average velocity ( $\bar v$ ), measured in feet per second, can be done by means of the following definition:
