7.13 In the original study of regression toward the mean, Sir Francis Galton noted a tendency for offspring of both tall and sho

rt parents to drift toward the mean height for offspring and referred to this tendency as "regression toward mediocrity." What is wrong with the conclusion that eventually all heights will be close to their mean?

Evaluate the equation 4K-10/k=8
solong [7]

Answer:

k = 1 + sqrt(7/2) or k = 1 - sqrt(7/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for k over the real numbers:

4 k - 10/k = 8

Bring 4 k - 10/k together using the common denominator k:

(2 (2 k^2 - 5))/k = 8

Multiply both sides by k:

2 (2 k^2 - 5) = 8 k

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

4 k^2 - 10 = 8 k

Subtract 8 k from both sides:

4 k^2 - 8 k - 10 = 0

Divide both sides by 4:

k^2 - 2 k - 5/2 = 0

Add 5/2 to both sides:

k^2 - 2 k = 5/2

Add 1 to both sides:

k^2 - 2 k + 1 = 7/2

Write the left hand side as a square:

(k - 1)^2 = 7/2

Take the square root of both sides:

k - 1 = sqrt(7/2) or k - 1 = -sqrt(7/2)

Add 1 to both sides:

k = 1 + sqrt(7/2) or k - 1 = -sqrt(7/2)

Add 1 to both sides:

Answer: k = 1 + sqrt(7/2) or k = 1 - sqrt(7/2)

What type of exponential function is f(x)=0.6(2.4)^x ?
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

<em>The function is of an exponential growth type</em>

<em>Rate of change is 240%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Function</u>

The expression of an exponential function is

f(x)=c.a^{bx}

For a,b,c constants.

1.

The function will be of an exponential growth type if, when x increases, f increases. That behavior comes from the combination of the three constants a,b,c. The best approach to find that out is by taking the first derivative

f'(x)=b.c.lna.a^{bx}

Since a^{bx} is always positive, the product of b.c.lna must be positive to make f increasing. For example, if a>1 and both b and c are of the same sign, f increases for all x. If 0<a<1, then, since lna<0, the product b.c must be negative, i.e. both should have different signs

The function is expressed as

f(x)=0.6\ 2.4^x

we can see a>1, b and c are positive, so the function is of an exponential growth type.

2.

Talking about rates change of real functions takes us to the derivative function. We have already seen the derivative is dependent on all three constants and also of the value of x, so it cannot be predicted as a fixed percentage.

Now, if we picture the function as the general term of a sequence, where x can only take natural values, we can say

\displaystyle \frac{0.6(2.4)^{x+1}}{0.6(2.4)^{x}}=2.4

Each term is obtained as the previous term by 2.4. It's accurate to say the rate of change is 240%

Which are true about the pyramid? Check all that apply.
Travka [436]

The statements that are true about the pyramid are

  • The base of the pyramid is a square with four sides, each measuring 756 feet.
  • The slant height of the pyramid is 612 feet.
  • All four triangular faces are congruent.
  • The pyramid has four lateral faces.

<h3>Properties of a Square pyramid </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the statements that are true about the pyramid

The diagram shows a square pyramid,

The length of a side of its base is 756 ft

and

The height / altitude of a triangular face is 612 ft

Since the pyramid is a square pyramid,

Then, the base must be a square with each side measuring 756 feet

∴ The first statement is true

Since the height of a triangular face is 612 ft,

Then,

∴ The slant height of the pyramid is 612 feet

NOTE: Slant height of a pyramid is the altitude of the triangle comprising a lateral face

Thus, the second statement is true

Since the triangular faces each have a base of 756ft and a height of 612 ft,

Then,

All four triangular faces are congruent

∴ The fourth statement is true

NOTE: Lateral sides of a solid are the faces on the <u>sides</u> of the shape

The pyramid has four lateral faces which are each a triangle

∴ The last statement is true

Hence, the statements that are true about the pyramid are

  • The base of the pyramid is a square with four sides, each measuring 756 feet.
  • The slant height of the pyramid is 612 feet.
  • All four triangular faces are congruent.
  • The pyramid has four lateral faces.

Simplify: -2/5 + 4/3
hoa [83]

Answer:

14/15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert the fractions to have the same denominator

Remember that you can only add fractions with the same denominator

To find the common denominator, find the LCM of 5 and 3 which is 15.

-2/5 * 3/3 = -6/15 and 4/3 * 5/5 = 20/15

-6/15 + 20/15 = 14/15

hope this helps! <3
