Answer:

a = 0.3 and b = - 1.1

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 2)² = x² -4x + 4

Hence, x² - 4x + 4 = 3x - 6

x² - 7x + 10 = 0

(x - 5)(x - 2) = 0

∴ x = 5 or 2

f(5) = 25a + 5b = 2  ----- (i)

f(2) = 4a +  2b = -1  ------ (ii)

(i) X 2: 50a + 10b = 4 ----- (iii)

(ii) X 5: 20a + 10a = -5  ---- (iv)

Subtract (iv) from (iii): 30a = 9

a = 0.3

Substitute a into (ii) to obtain b

4(0.3) + 2b = -1

2b = -1 - 1.2 = -2.2

∴ b = -1.1

<h3>Answer: B) 31.348</h3>

======================================

Work Shown:

We will never use the alpha = 0.05 value when computing the test statistic. So we can ignore alpha for this particular problem.

-------

n = 40 is the sample size.

s = 2.6 is the sample standard deviation

\sigma = sigma = 2.9 is the population standard deviation (ie the claimed standard deviation for all the pay phones)

Test Statistic for chi-square

\chi^2 = \frac{(n-1)*s^2}{\sigma^2}\\\\\chi^2 = \frac{(40-1)*(2.6)^2}{(2.9)^2}\\\\\chi^2 = \frac{39*6.76}{8.41}\\\\\chi^2 = \frac{263.64}{8.41}\\\\\chi^2 \approx 31.3483947681332\\\\\chi^2 \approx 31.348\\\\

If the graph of the function moves to the right two units what is the new vertex of the function
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Let's talk through this a one step at a time.

*Since f(x) is concave-up with its vertex on the x-axis, we know f(x) ≥ 0.

*We also know that when we shift a function's domain by a positive number, we shift the function left and when we shift a function's domain by a negative number, we shift the function right. So f(x-5) is f(x) shifted to the right by 5.

*At this point, f(x-5) has its vertex at (5,0).

*When we negate f(x-5), the parabola becomes concave down yet the vertex remains at (5,0). Now we're at -f(x-5). At this point we have -f(x-5)≤0 with a range (-∞,0]

*If we add 2 to create g(x)=2-f(x-5), then we have a concave down parabola with its vertex shifted up by 2, at (5,2). So, g(x) is concave down with its vertex at (5,2). Hence
