$\large\underline{\bf\red{Solution:-}}$

Given that : h(x) = - x - 1 .

And we are required to find the value of h(-2) .

For this just in place of x replace it by -2 .

So ,

=> h(x) = - x - 1.

=> h(x) = - ( x + 1 ) .

=> h(-2) = - ( -2 + 1 )

=> h(-2) = - 1 × -1 .

=> h(-2) = 1

Hence the required answer is 1

Elden [556K]

F(x) = 3x + 1

let f(x) = y

y = 3x + 1

y - 1 = 3x

3x = y - 1

x = (y - 1)/3

From y = f(x), x = f⁻¹(y)

x = (y - 1)/3

f⁻¹(y) = (y - 1)/3

f⁻¹(7) = (7 - 1)/3 = 6/3 = 2

f⁻¹(7) = 2

The weights of certain machine components are normally distributed with a mean of 8.04 g and a standard deviation of 0.08 g. Fin

NISA [10]

Answer:

The bottom 3 is separated by weight 7.8896 g and the top 3 is separated by weight 8.1904 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Mean, $\mu=8.04 g$

Standard deviation, $\sigma=0.08g$

We have to find the two weights that separate the top 3% and the bottom 3%.

Let x be the weight of machine components

$P(Xx_2)=0.03$

$P(X$

=0.03

From z- table we get

$P(Z1.88)=0.03$

Therefore, we get

$\frac{x_1-8.04}{0.08}=-1.88$

$x_1-8.04=-1.88\times 0.08$

$x_1=-1.88\times 0.08+8.04$

$x_1=7.8896$

$\frac{x_2-8.04}{0.08}=1.88$

$x_2=1.88\times 0.08+8.04$

$x_2=8.1904$

Hence, the bottom 3 is separated by weight 7.8896 g and the top 3 is separated by weight 8.1904 g.

What is the volume of corn held in this cone-shaped grain silo? Use 3.14 for π and round to the nearest cubic foot. Enter your a

babymother [125]

Answer:

V = 301 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by

V =1/3 pi r^2 h

We know pi = 3.14 r =6 and

We need to determine h

We can find h from the Pythagorean theorem where 6 is a leg and 10 is the hypotenuse

h^2 +6^2 = 10^2

h^2 +36 = 100

h^2 = 64

Taking the square root of each side

h = 8

V =1/3 pi r^2 h

V = 1/3 (3.14) (6)^2 * 8

V = 301.44 ft^3

Rounding to the nearest cubic foot

V = 301 ft^3

If (x + 2) is a factor of x3 − 6x2 + kx + 10, k =

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The value of k is -11

Step-by-step explanation:

If (x+2) is a factor of x3 − 6x2 + kx + 10:

Then,

f(x)=x3 − 6x2 + kx + 10

f(-2)=0

f(-2)=(-2)³-6(-2)²+k(-2)+10=0

f(-2)= -8-6(4)-2k+10=0

f(-2)= -8-24-2k+10=0

Solve the like terms:

f(-2)=-2k-22=0

f(-2)=-2k=0+22

-2k=22

k=22/-2

k=-11

Hence the value of k is -11....
