Answer:

The equation is;

f(x) = -2·x² + 5·x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a quadratic equation  or function f(x) is, f(x) = y = a·x² + b·x + c

Given that the points representing the quadratic function are;

(-1, -8), (0, -1), (1, 2) which  are of the form (x, y)

When x = -1, f(x) = y = -8

Plugging in the above values into the general form of a quadratic function, we have;

-8 = a·(-1)² + b·(-1) + c = a - b + c

-8  = a - b + c.........................(1)

When x = 0, y = -1, we have;

-1 = a·(0)² + b·(0) + c = c

c = -1.......................................(2)

When x = 1, y = 2, which gives;

2 = a·(1)² + b·(1) + c = a + b + c

2 = a + b + c........................(3)

Adding equation (1) to equation (3), we have;

-8 + 2 = a - b + c + a + b + c

-8 + 2 = 2·a + 2·c

From equation (2) c = -1, we get;

-8 + 2 = -6 = 2·a + 2·c = 2·a + 2 × (-1)

-6 = 2·a - 2

-4 = 2·a

a = -2

From equation (3), we have

2 = a + b + c

Substituting the values of a, and c gives;

2 = -2 + b - 1

b = 2 + 2 + 1 = 5

b = 5

The equation is therefore;

f(x) = -2·x² + 5·x - 1.

The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the construction of a new community. A political study took a sample of 800 voters i
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

A political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than  30%, so then that represent our claim and needs to be on the alternative hypothesis.

Based on this the correct system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: p \leq 0.3

Alternative hypothesis p >0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following info given from the problem:

n= 800 the random sample of voters selected from the town

\hat p = 0.34 represent the proportion of residents favored construction

p_o = 0.30 represent the value desired to test.

A political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than  30%, so then that represent our claim and needs to be on the alternative hypothesis.

Based on this the correct system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: p \leq 0.3

Alternative hypothesis p >0.3

And in order to test this hypothesis we can use a one sample z test for a population proportion and the statistic would be given by:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

And with the data given we have:

z=\frac{0.34 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.3(1-0.3)}{800}}}=2.469

A Copy of machine produces 80 copies in 5 minutes. How many copies would be produced in 40 minutes?
BlackZzzverrR [31]
The answer would be 640. To find the number of how many copies are produced in 1 minute you have to write 80 divided by 5 which equals 16. Now you multiply 16 and the 40 minutes which gives you 640 copies.
