Answer: option a.

f(x)=\frac{1}{3} (3)^x


Explanation:


A <em>shrink</em> of a function is a <em>shrink</em> on the vertical direction. It means that for a certain value of x, the new function will have a lower value, in the intervals where the function is positive, or a higher value, in those intervals where the function is negative. This is, the image of the new function is shortened in the vertical direction.


That is the reason behind the rule:

  • given f(x), the graph of the function a×f(x), when a > 1, represents a vertical stretch of f(x),
  • given f(x), the graph of the function a×f(x), when a < 1, represents a vertical shrink of f(x).

So, we just must apply the rule: to find a shrink of an exponential growth function, multiply the original function by a scale factor less than 1.


Since it <em>is a shrink of</em> <em>an exponential growth function</em>, the base must be greater than 1. Among the options, the functions that meet that conditon are a and b:


a. f(x)=\frac{1}{3} (3)^x \\ \\ b.f(x) = 3(3)^x


Now, following the rule it is the function with the fraction (1/3) in front of the exponential part which represents a <em>shrink of an exponential function</em>.

larisa [96]

Answer:

Answer is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The text implies that the number of traffic accidents determines the number of ambulances required on the road. Hence, 1 traffic accident requires 1 ambulance.

The time slot and time of day remain same in both the text and the question.

The average or mean number of accidents is 1.1

QUESTION: What then is the probability that there is need for exactly 2 ambulances on that road and in that time frame?

In other words, what is the probability that there'll be 2 accidents on that road and in that time frame?

Since the mean number of accidents is 1.1,  2 is above the mean.

Probability of 1.1 accidents is 1, since that's the mean (expected value).

Probability of 2 accidents is 1/2 which is = 0.5

Six sophomores and 14 freshmen are competing for two alternate positions on the debate team. Which expression represents the pro
Elanso [62]

Answer:

<em>Choose the first alternative</em>

\displaystyle P=\frac{_{1}^{6}\textrm{C}\ _{1}^{5}\textrm{C}}{_{2}^{20}\textrm{C}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probabilities</u>

The requested probability can be computed as the ratio between the number of ways to choose two sophomores in alternate positions (N_s) and the total number of possible choices (N_t), i.e.

\displaystyle P=\frac{N_s}{N_t}

There are 6 sophomores and 14 freshmen to choose from each separate set. There are 20 students in total

We'll assume the positions of the selections are NOT significative, i.e. student A/student B is the same as student B/student A.

To choose 2 sophomores out of the 6 available, the first position has 6 elements to choose from, the second has now only 5

_{1}^{6}\textrm{C}\ _{1}^{5}\textrm{C} \text{ ways to do it}

The total number of possible choices is

_{2}^{20}\textrm{C} \text{ ways to do it}

The probability is then

\boxed{\displaystyle P=\frac{_{1}^{6}\textrm{C}\ _{1}^{5}\textrm{C}}{_{2}^{20}\textrm{C}}}

Choose the first alternative
