(1) The train travels 4 miles per gallon.
(2) The slope of the graph is 
Explanation:
(1) The miles that train travels per gallon is given by
Dividing, we have,
Thus, the train travels 4 miles per gallon.
(2) To determine the slope, let us consider two points from the graph.
The coordinates are 
and 
Thus, substituting the coordinates in the slope formula, we get,
Simplifying, we have,
Thus, the slope of the graph is
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the values of a piecewise function, we first have to determine which piece we are using.
For 
, x=-3. This means that we need to use 
as 
For 
, x=2. This means that we need to use 
as x is equal to 2.
Given:
h = high quality bean ; costs 6 per pound
c = cheaper bean ; costs 3.25 per pound
160 pounds of blended coffee beans at 4.97 per pound
h + c = 160
6h + 3.25c = 160(4.97)
6h + 3.25c = 795.20
h = 160 - c
6(160-c) + 3.25c = 795.20
960 - 6c + 3.25c = 795.20
- 2.75c = 795.20 - 960
- 2.75c = -164.80
c = - 164.80 / -2.75
c = 59.92 or 60 pounds
h = 160 - c
h = 160 - 60
h = 100 pounds
Sarah must blend 100 pounds of high quality bean and 60 pounds of cheaper bean.
Answer:
f(x) = x² - 2x - 15
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ The function intersect x-axis at -3 and 5
∴ f(x) = 0 at x = -3 , 5
∵ The form of the quadratic equation is ⇒ ax² + -b/a x + c/a = 0
ax² - b/a x + c/a = 0
Where the sum of its roots is b/a and their multiplication is c/a
∵ a = 1
∵ -3 , 5 are the roots of the quadratic equation
∴ b = -3 + 5 = 2
∴ c = -3 × 5 = -15
∴ f(x) = x² - 2x - 15
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
X: Cholesterol level of a woman aged 30-39. (mg/dl)
This variable has an approximately normal distribution with mean μ= 190.14 mg/dl
1. You need to find the corresponding Z-value that corresponds to the top 9.3% of the distribution, i.e. is the value of the standard normal distribution that has above it 0.093 of the distribution and below it is 0.907, symbolically:
P(Z≥z₀)= 0.093
-*or*-
P(Z≤z₀)= 0.907
Since the Z-table shows accumulative probabilities P(Z<Z₁₋α) I'll work with the second expression:
P(Z≤z₀)= 0.907
Now all you have to do is look for the given probability in the body of the table and reach the margins to obtain the corresponding Z value. The first column gives you the integer and first decimal value and the first row gives you the second decimal value:
z₀= 1.323
2.
Using the Z value from 1., the mean Cholesterol level (μ= 190.14 mg/dl) and the Medical guideline that indicates that 9.3% of the women have levels above 240 mg/dl you can clear the standard deviation of the distribution from the Z-formula:
Z= (X- μ)/δ ~N(0;1)
Z= (X- μ)/δ
Z*δ= X- μ
δ=(X- μ)/Z
δ=(240-190.14)/1.323
δ= 37.687 ≅ 37.7 mg/dl
I hope it helps!
