Answer:

(fog)(12)=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the notation: (fog)(12) is the same as: f(g(12)) which means the value of the function f when you give it as input the value obtained by evaluating g(12).

Therefore, we need to start finding what g(12) is using the definition :

g(x)=\sqrt{x-8} and evaluating it as x = 12.

g(x)=\sqrt{x-8}\\g(12)=\sqrt{12-8}\\g(12)=\sqrt{4}\\g(12)=2

So now we use this answer "2" as input for f(x):

f(x)=-4x+2\\f(2)=-4(2)+2\\f(2)=-8+2\\f(2)=-6

Therefore, (fog)(12)=-6

Answer:

= − 7 /1 1  in fraction form

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1: Multiply by 1

1 + 1 0 + 2 5 = 1 8

+ 1 0 + 2 5 = 1 8                                                                                                                               STEP 2: Combine like terms

+ 1 0 + 2 5 = 1 8

1 1 + 2 5 = 1 8                                                                                                                       STEP 3: Subtract  2 5   from both sides of the equation

11x+25=18

1 1 + 2 5 − 2 5 = 1 8 − 2 5

STEP 4: Simplify  by subtracting the numbers

1 1 + 2 5 − 2 5 = 1 8 − 2 5

11x+25−25=18−25                                                                                                   1 1 = 1 8 − 2 5                                                                                                                                   1 1 =  -7

STEP 5: Divide both sides of the equation by the same term                                                     1 1 = − 7                                                                                                                         11x/ 11x = −7/ 1 1 (set up as a fraction)                                                                       STEP 6: Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

=  − 7 /1 1                                                                                                                      SOLUTION

=  − 7 /1 1

A center for medical services reported that there were 295,000 appeals for hospitalization and other services. For this group, 4
pshichka [43]

Answer:

a) 0.0025 = 0.25% probability that none of the appeals will be successful.

b) 0.0207 = 2.07% probability that exactly one of the appeals will be successful.

c) 0.9768 = 97.68% probability that at least two of the appeals will be successful

Step-by-step explanation:

For each appeal, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is succesful, or it is not. The probability of an appeal being succesful is independent of other appeals, so we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

45% of first-round appeals were successful.

This means that p = 0.45

Suppose 10 first-round appeals have just been received by a Medicare appeals office.

This means that n = 10

(a) Compute the probability that none of the appeals will be successful.

This is P(X = 0).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.45)^{0}.(0.55)^{10} = 0.0025

0.0025 = 0.25% probability that none of the appeals will be successful.

(b) Compute the probability that exactly one of the appeals will be successful.

This is P(X = 1).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.45)^{1}.(0.55)^{9} = 0.0207

0.0207 = 2.07% probability that exactly one of the appeals will be successful.

(c) What is the probability that at least two of the appeals will be successful

This is P(X \geq 2)

Either less than two appeals are succesful, or at least two are. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X < 2) + P(X \geq 2) = 1

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0025 + 0.0207 = 0.0232

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.0232 = 0.9768

0.9768 = 97.68% probability that at least two of the appeals will be successful

HELP PLEASE <br> Write the inequality that models the number granola bars (12) you need to buy.
Goshia [24]
The correct question in the attached figure

Let
x-------------> <span>the number of granola bars 
y-------------> the pounds of fruit

we know that

if 12 bars------------> cost $12
 1 bars--------------> X
X=12/12---> x=$1
1 bar---------> cost $1

if 9 pounds of fruit----------> cost $36
 1 pound-------------------> X
X=36/9--------> x=$4
1 pound -------> cost $4

</span><span>expression for the total cost=(1)*x+(4)*y----------> x+4y
</span><span>x=12
y=9
then
</span>the total cost=12+4*9----- $48

<span>an inequality that compares
the total cost with the amount you have to spend is
x+4y<=48
</span>
using a graph tool see the attached figure

<span>the inequality that models the number of granola bars you need to buy is
</span>
x<=12  the solution for the number of granola bars is the interval [0,12]

Please help me!
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

  • x = 12
  • Side = 23 units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>STU is an equilateral triangle. And:</u>

  • ST = 2x - 1
  • SU = 5x - 37
  • TU = x + 11

<u>All sides are equal. Then take one pair and solve for x:</u>

  • 2x - 1 = 5x - 37
  • 3x = 36
  • x = 12

<u>Substitute x to find the side length:</u>

  • 2x - 1 = 5x - 37 = x + 11 = 23
