Why do whole numbers with an exponent get bigger while fractions with an exponent get smaller.

Mathematics

ohaa [14]3 years ago

Raising a whole number to a power means: 

             Take (a number of things) a number of times, and then possibly
             take that big number of things a number of times again.

Raising a fraction to an exponent means: 

             Take a piece of (a piece of one thing), and then possibly
              take just a piece of that smaller piece.

Ms. Perry bought a plant and is tracking the height of the plant each week. If y represents the height of the plant, in inches,
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

When Ms. Perry bought the plant, its height was 5 inches. The plant grew at the rate of 2.5 inches per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change, or slope, represents the rate at which the height of the plant increased per week.

Use the points (2 , 10) and (4 , 15) from the table to calculate the rate of change, also known as the slope.

y2 - y1 = 15 inches-10 inches

x2 - x1     4 weeks-2 weeks

             2.5 inches/1 week or 2.5 inches per week

So, the rate of change is 2.5 inches per week.

Now, find the y-intercept, b, by using the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line represented by the given table of values and (x , y) is any point on the line.

Substitute m = 2.5 and (x , y) = (2 , 10) in the above equation to find out the initial height of the plant.

y=mx+b

10=2.5 (2) + b

5=b or b=5

So, the initial height of the plant was 5 inches.

Therefore, the situation represented by the table is when Ms. Perry bought the plant, its height was 5 inches. The plant grew at the rate of 2.5 inches per week.

In your own words, explain the Normal Distribution and provide a real world example.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The Normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with possible values all the reals. Some properties of this distribution are:

Is symmetrical and bell shaped no matter the parameters used. Usually if X is a random variable normally distributed we write this like that:

X \sim N(\mu , \sigma)

The two parameters are:

\mu who represent the mean and is on the center of the distribution

\sigma who represent the standard deviation  

One particular case is the normal standard distribution denoted by:

Z \sim N(0,1)

Example: Usually this distribution is used to model almost all the practical things in the life one of the examples is when we can model the scores of a test. Usually the distribution for this variable is normally distributed and we can find quantiles and probabilities associated
