Answer: f(x) = -0.016x² + 1.6x

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lenght of the road over the arch is 100m, we can consider a coordinate plane and say that the road starts at point (0,0) and finishes at (100,0). The vertice of the parabola is at point (50,40), because the maximum height is 40 and it is always in the middle point of the roots.

So, we have

(0,0) (50,40) (100,0)

A quadratic function is always on the form: f(x) = ax² + bx + c

0 = a0² + b0 + c

40 = a50² + b50 + c

0 = a100² + b100 + c

0 = a0² + b0 + c → c = 0 ∴

40 = a50² + b50

0 = a100² + b100

_________________________

2500a + 50b = 40 (*2)

10000a + 100b = 0

_________________________

5000a + 100b = 80

10000a + 100b = 0 (-)

__________________________

-5000a = 80

-a=80/5000

a=-0.016

∴

2500a + 50b = 40

2500.(-0.016) + 50b = 40

-40 + 50b = 40

50b = 80

b = 80/50

b = 1.6

This way f(x) = -0.016x² + 1.6x

You invest $40,000 in two funds paying 4% and 52% simple interest. The total annual interest is $2080. How much do you invest in
natali 33 [55]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 4% fund: $39,000
  • 52% fund: $1000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested at 52%. Then (40000-x) is the amount invested at 4%. The total annual interest is ...

  0.52x +0.04(40000-x) = 2080

  0.48x = 480 . . . . . . . . . subtract 1600, simplify

  x = 1000 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.48

Then the amounts invested in each fund are ...

  4% fund: $39,000

  52% fund: $1000

Of 136 randomly selected adults, 33 were found to have high blood pressure. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true of
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval of the proportion of all adults that have high blood pressure is 0.17059 < \hat{p} < 0.314695

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for a proportion is given by the following formula;

CI=\hat{p}\pm z\times \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

Where:

x = 33

n = 136

\hat{p} = x/n = 33/136 = 0.243

z value for 95% confidence is 1.96

Plugging in the values, we have;

CI=0.243\pm 1.96\times \sqrt{\frac{0.243(1-0.243)}{136}}

Which gives;

0.17059 < \hat{p} < 0.314695

Hence the 95% confidence interval of the proportion of all adults that have high blood pressure = 0.17059 < \hat{p} < 0.314695

From the above we have;

23.2 < x < 42.798

Since we are dealing with people, we round down as follows;

23 < x < 42.

Which of the following is an even function? A.f(x) =(x-1)^2 b. F(x)=8x c.f(x) =x^2-x d.f(x)=7
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A.f(x) =(x-1)^2  is even because of that even exponent, 2.

b. F(x)=8x  is odd because x has the exponent 1.

c.f(x) =x^2-x   is neither even nor odd

d.f(x)=7    is even because the exponent is even:  7^0
