A. x(20)x(20)
B. x(20)20x(20)20
C. x(21)−x(19)x(21)−x(19)

Answer:

No options

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing that V=in/min = x(t)/t and according to the graph,

V=20in/20min=in/min, so

No options since speed is not inches per minute, spedd (V) = inches over minutes

Answer:

The slope of the graph of y=x(t)

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed's equation is the derivative of the position.

Position

y = x(t)

Linear function.

So

y = ax(t)

In which a is the slope

The derivative of y is:

y = a

Which is the slope

This means that the speed of the particle is constant.

So the answer is:

The slope of the graph of y=x(t)

Write the equation for the parabola that has x− intercepts (−2,0) and (1.2,0) and y− intercept (0,−4).
schepotkina [342]

Answer: The answer is 15y+4=25(x-1.6)^2.


Step-by-step explanation:  We are to find the equation of the parabola with x-intercepts (-2,0), (1.2,0) and y-intercept (0,-4).

Therefore, axis of symmetry is

x=\dfrac{1.2+2}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=1.6.

Let the equation of the parabola be y=a(x-1.6)^2+k.

Substituting the points (x,y)=(0,-4) and (1.2,0) in the above equation, we find that

-4=a(0-1.6)^2+k\\\\\Rightarrow k=-2.56a-4

and

0=a(1.2-1.6)^2+k\\\\\Rightarrow k=-0.16a.

Solving the above two equations, we get

a=-\dfrac{5}{3}~~\textup{and}~~k=-\dfrac{4}{15}.

So, putting the values of 'a' and 'k' in the equation of the parabola, we get

y=-\dfrac{5}{3}(x-1.6)^2-\dfrac{4}{15}\\\\\Rightarrow 15y+4=-25(x-1.6)^2.

Thus, the equation of the parabola is  15y+4=25(x-1.6)^2.

Suppose that a random sample of 50 bottles of a particular brand of cough syrup is selected and the alcohol content of each bott
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

95% confidence interval will be narrower.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 50

95% confidence interval for average alcohol content:

(7.8, 9.4)

a) 90% confidence interval

  • If we calculate a 90% confidence interval, then the confidence interval become narrower because we decreased the confidence percentage.
  • This would decrease the margin of error.
  • Hence, the confidence interval become narrower.
