Okay, let's first establish some ground rules.

1) Whenever something is subtracted or added to x directly, it is a horizontal transformation. In other words, the function is shifted either left or right. Subtraction is right, addition is left.

EX: In y = (x - 4)^2, the function x^2 is moved 4 units to the right.

2) Whenever something is subtracted or added to the whole function, it is a vertical transformation. In other words, the function is shifted either up or down. Subtraction is down, addition is up.

EX: In y = x^2 + 4, the function x^2 is moved 4 units up.

Here, the function |x| is moved 4 units to the right and 3 units down. So, the vertex will be at point (4, -3). Being more technical:

m = -1 if -∞ < x ≤ 4 and m = 1 if 4 < x < ∞

Hope this helps, let me know if I messed up!

posledela

Let's call x1: The rate per hour of the number one mechanic. X2: The rate per hour of mechanic number two. The first thing you should do is identify the system of equations that best describes the problem. In this case it is a system of 2 equations with two unknowns which when solved gives a total of x1 = 85 $ / h and x2 = 50 $ / h. Attached solution.

The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is always 180 degrees. True or False

False. it said ,"The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is always 360 degrees. ... By an inductive proof, this is true for all polygons." that is what i think.

1. 130°

I don't remember too many specifics from my past math classes, but I always remembered this because that is an upside-down mirror of the 130° angle.

2. 50°

A straight line is 180°, and 180 - 130 = 50.

The owner of a small pet supply store wants to open a second store in another city, but he only wants to do so if more than one-

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The answer is "The null hypothesis was rejected".

Step-by-step explanation:

Following are the right-tailed test:

Calculating the null and alternative hypothesis:

$H_0 : p = 0.3333\\\\H_a : p > 0.3333\\\\n = 150\\\\x = 64\\\\\hat{p} = \frac{x}{n} = \frac{64}{150} = 0.4267\\\\P_0 = 0.3333\\\\1 - P_0 = 1 - 0.3333 = 0.6667\\\\$

$z = \frac{\hat{p} - P_0}{[\sqrt{\frac{P_0 \times (1 - P_0 )}{n}}]}$

$= \frac{0.4267 - 0.3333}{[\sqrt{\frac{(0.3333 \times 0.6667)}{150}}]}\\\\= 2.426$

Calculating the right-tailed test:

$P(z > 2.426) = 1 - P(z < 2.426) = 1 - 0.9924 = 0.0076\\\\P-value = 0.0076\\\\\alpha = 0.05\\\\P-value < \alpha$

Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis.

This example shows that more than a third of the families own pets in this town.
