For this case we have a function of the form:

$y = f (x),$ where:

$f (x) = - 8-5x$

We want to know the value of the function when $x = -4,$ that is, $f (-4).$

Substituting we have:

$f (-4) = - 8-5 (-4)$

We have by law of multilplication of signs that:

$- * - = +\\f (-4) = - 8 + 20$

Different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed.

$f (-4) = 12$

Answer:

Option A

Answer:

f (-4) = 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

If f(x) = –8 – 5x, what is f(–4)?

substitute -4 to ur value of x

that is f(-4)= -8 -5(-4)

f(-4) = -8+20

f(-4) =12.

There are three executives in an office, ages 56, 57, and 58. If a 57-year-old executive enters the room, the

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

option (c) The mean age will stay the same but the variance will decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Case I: For 3 executives of ages 56, 57 and 58

Number of executives, n = 3

Mean = $\frac{\textup{56 + 57 + 58 }}{\textup{3}}$

Mean = 57

Variance = $\frac{\sum{(Data - Mean)^2}}{\textup{n-1}}$

Variance = $\frac{(56 - 57)^2+(57-57)^2+(58-57)^2}{\textup{3-1}}$

Variance = $\frac{1+0+1}{\textup{2}}$

Variance = 1

For Case II: For 4 executives of ages 56, 57, 58 and 57

Number of executives, n = 4

Mean = $\frac{\textup{56 + 57 + 58 + 57 }}{\textup{4}}$

Mean = 57

Variance = $\frac{\sum{(Data - Mean)^2}}{\textup{n-1}}$

Variance = $\frac{(56 - 57)^2+(57-57)^2+(58-57)^2+(57-57)^2}{\textup{4-1}}$

Variance = $\frac{1+0+1+0}{\textup{3}}$

Variance = 0.67

Hence,

Mean will remain the same and the variance will decrease

Hence,

The correct answer is option (c) The mean age will stay the same but the variance will decrease

You are planning to put a new digital flat t.v on a wall that is 12ft long and 9ft high. the digital t.v has a diagonal of 72 in

Pie

Area of wall = 9 * 12 = 108 ft^2
Width of TV = x
Lenght = 2x
Diagonal of TV = 72 " = 6 ft

x^2+(2x)^2=6^2
x^2+4x^2=36
5x^2=35
x^2=36/5
x=sqrt(36/5)
Width = 2.68 ft.
Length = 2.68 * 5.36 = 14.36 ft^2
Area of wall - area of tv = 108 - 14.36 = 93.64 ft

The Super Lotto Plus game consists of a player selecting five different numbers from 1 to 47 and a mega number from 1 to 27 (the

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

1/41416353 probability of all five numbers and the mega number matching the winning numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question, the order of the numbers is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

Probability of the five numbers matching:

Desired outcomes: 1 -> the matching numbers

Total outcomes: 5 from a set of 47. So

$T = C_{47,5} = \frac{47!}{5!(47-5)!} = 1533939$

Probability:

$p_{S} = \frac{1}{1533939}$

Probability of the mega number matching:

1 from a set of 27. So

$p_M = \frac{1}{27}$

Probability of both matching:

Independent events, so we multiply the probabilities:

$p = p_S*p_M = \frac{1}{1533939}*\frac{1}{27} = \frac{1}{41416353}$

1/41416353 probability of all five numbers and the mega number matching the winning numbers
