Estimate how many 12 inch rulers will be about the same length as a the object flag

Which function has the following characteristics?

iren [92.7K]

Using the asymptote concept, the function with a vertical asymptote at x = 3 and an horizontal asymptote at $y = -\frac{1}{2}$ is given by:

$f(x) = -\frac{x}{2(x - 3)}$

<h3>What are the asymptotes of a function f(x)?</h3>

The vertical asymptotes are the values of x which are outside the domain, which in a fraction are the zeroes of the denominator.

The horizontal asymptote is the value of f(x) as x goes to infinity, as long as this value is different of infinity.

The vertical asymptote at x = 3 means that x = 3 is a root of the denominator, hence:

$f(x) = \frac{g(x)}{x - 3}$

The horizontal asymptote at y = -1/2 means that:

$\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x) = -\frac{1}{2}$

Which happens if $g(x) = -\frac{x}{2}$ , hence the function is:

$f(x) = -\frac{x}{2(x - 3)}$

At an ocean-side nuclear power plant, seawater is used as part of the cooling system. This raises the temperature of the water t

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

(a1) The probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C is 0.667.

(a2) The probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C is 0.133.

(b) The probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous is 0.467.

(c) The expected value of the temperature increase is 17.5°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = temperature increase.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a continuous Uniform distribution, distributed over the range [10°C, 25°C].

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

$f(X)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{25-10}=\frac{1}{15};\ x\in [10, 25]} \atop {0;\ otherwise}} \right.$

(a1)

Compute the probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C as follows:

$P(X$

Thus, the probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C is 0.667.

(a2)

Compute the probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C as follows:

$P(20$

Thus, the probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C is 0.133.

(b)

Compute the probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous as follows:

$P(X>18)=\int\limits^{25}_{18}{\frac{1}{15}}\, dx\\=\frac{1}{15}\int\limits^{25}_{18}{dx}\,\\=\frac{1}{15}[x]^{25}_{18}=\frac{1}{15}[25-18]=\frac{7}{15}\\=0.467$

Thus, the probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous is 0.467.

(c)

Compute the expected value of the uniform random variable <em>X</em> as follows:

$E(X)=\frac{1}{2}[10+25]=\frac{35}{2}=17.5$

Thus, the expected value of the temperature increase is 17.5°C.

5 quarters weigh approximately 1 ounce. How many ounceswould you expect a collection of quarters worth $15 to weigh?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

5 quarters =1.25$

15$÷1.25$=12

then 15$ in quaters would weigh 12 ounces

A mountain climber is at an elevation of 10,712 feet. After 4 hours, he is at an elevation of 8,884 feet. Find the climber’s ver

Illusion [34]

I am not sure about the formula but if you subtract 8,884 from 10,712 you get 1,828. Then, if you divide that by 4 you get 457. 457 fph(feet per hour) should be the climbers vertical speed.
