How do you explain this function?

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

For  0 <= x < =40 the function is that of the straight line 15x which has slope 15. Note that at x = 40 the value of the function is 15(4) =600

For x > 40 , the function is another straight line but with slope 20. This line is steeper than the 15x line but for x near, but slightly greater than  40, the value is close to 600 + 20 (40-40)  or 600 + 20(40-40) = 600.  This is the same value as the first line, 15x, at x = 40.

In summary, the graph of p(x), from   0 <= x <=40, is a line of slope 15 and for x>40 is a line of slope 20.  p(x) has a removable discontinuity at x = 40 because  p(x) approaches 600 as x approaches 40, regardless of the method of approach (i.e. whether x  approaches 40 from values less than 40 or from values greater than 40)




Thank you,

MrB

If (5,-12) is a point on the terminal side of an angle θ, find the value of sin⁡θ, cos⁡θ, and tan⁡θ.
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Given point (5,-12) falls into IV quadrant

<u>The right triangle with legs of 5 and -12, and hypotenuse is:</u>

  • √5² + (-12)² = √25+144 = √169 = 13

<u>Value of sin⁡θ, cos⁡θ, and tan⁡θ:</u>

  • sin⁡ θ = -12/13
  • cos ⁡θ = 5/13
  • tan⁡ θ = -12/5

4. Geologists estimate the time since the most recent cooling of a mineral by counting the number of uranium fission tracks on t
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

In this case we use the Poisson distribution because we are talking about the occurrence of an event (number of tracks) over a specified interval (in this case an area interval).

The probability of the event occurring x times over an interval is:

P(x) = nˣ × e⁻ⁿ ÷ x!

where n is the mean.

a) P(7) = 6⁷ × e⁻⁶ ÷ 7! = 0.1376

b) P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - P(x < 3) = 1 - P(2) - P(1) - P(0)

P(2) = 6² × e⁻⁶ ÷ 2! = 0.0446

P(1) = 6¹ × e⁻⁶ ÷ 1! = 0.0149

P(0) = 6⁰ × e⁻⁶ ÷ 0! = 0.0025

P(x ≥ 3) = 0.9380

c) P(2 < x < 7) = P(3) + P(4) + P(5) + P(6) = 0.0892 + 0.1339 + 0.1606 + 0.1606 = 0.5443

d) The mean is going to be 6.

e) The standard deviation is √n = √6 = 2.4
