Answer:

S(t) = 600/(0.9^t)

Step-by-step explanation:

Current mass: 600 grams

If every millennium loss 10% of its mass, it retains 90%, so a millennium ago the mass was: 600/0.9 = 666.67 grams; two millennia it was: 666.67/0.9 = 600/(0.9^2) = 740.74, and so on.

Then, the explicit formula is:

S(t) = 600/(0.9^t)

where t refers to millennia from today.

Which statement is true regarding the graphed functions? A) f(4)=g(4) B) f(4)=g(-2) C) f(2)=g(-2) D) f(-2)=g(-2)
fomenos

Answer:

Option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) are lying of the line.

Slope of the line represented by the function 'f' = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Two points are lying on the line are (-2, 4) and (0, -2).

Slope of the line passing through these points 'm' = \frac{4+2}{-2-0}

m = -3

Y-intercept of the line 'b' = -2 [From the graph]

Therefore, equation of the function will be,

f(x)  = (-3)x - 2

f(x) = -3x - 2

Similarly, for other function represented by the line in red,

Slope of the line passing through (-6, 0) and (0, 6) = \frac{6-0}{0+6}

m' = 1

Y-intercept of g(x) = 5 [From the graph]

Equation that represents the function g(x) = 1.x + 5

g(x) = x + 5

For g(x) = f(x)

-3x - 2 = x + 6

-3x - x = 2 + 6

-4x = 8

x = -2

Therefore, for x = -2 both the functions will have the value.

f(-2) = g(-2)

Option (D) will be the answer.

The amount of calories consumed by customers at the Chinese buffet is normally distributed with mean 2885 and standard deviation
aliina [53]

Answer:

a.  X~N(2,885, 651)

b.  0.086291

c.  0.00058

d.  3213.10 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

a. -A normal distribution is expressed in the form X~N(mean, standard deviation).

-Let X a random variable denoting  the number of calories consumed.

-X is a is a normally distributed random variable with mean 2885 and standard deviation 651.

-This distribution is expressed as X~N(2,885, 651)

b. The probability that less than 2000 calories are consumed is calculated using the formula:

P(X

#substitute the given values in the formula to solve for P:

P(X

Hence, the probability of consuming less than 2000 calories is 0.08691

c. The proportion of customers consuming more than 5000 calories is calculated as:

P(X>x)=P(z>\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma})\\\\=P(Z>\frac{5000-2885}{651})\\\\=P(z>3.2488)\\\\=1-0.99942\\\\=0.00058

Hence, the proportion of customers consuming over  5000 calories is 0.00058

d. The least amount of calories to get the award is calculated as:

1% is equivalent to a z value of 0.50399.

-We equate this to the formula to solve for the mean consumption:

0.01=P(z>\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma})\\\\=P(z>\frac{\bar X-2885}{651})\\\\\1\%=0.50399 \\\\\frac{\bar X-2885}{651}=0.50399 \\\\\bar X=0.50399\times 651+2885\\\\=3213.09

Hence, the least amount of calories consumed to qualify for the award is 3213.10 calories.
