X/5120=20/100
x/5120=1/5
5120/5=1024
1024+5120=6144
6144 is the answer.

What is the equation of g(x)?

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

$g(x)=10^{x-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that function $g(x)$ has the exat shape of function $f(x)$ , and it has just be translated to the right by 3 whole units.

Recall that horizontal translations to the right involve subtracting the number of units moved in the translation from the variable "x". therefore, in our case this means:

$f(x)=10^x\\g(x)=10^{x-3}$

Answer:

α=39.80°

Step-by-step explanation:

applying the law of sin and cos, we have:

$sin\alpha =\frac{75}{117}=0.6410\\\alpha =acs(0.64)= 39.79$

and to the nearest tenth of a degree

α=39.80°

Use the fact that the mean of a geometric distribution is μ= 1 p and the variance is σ2= q p2. A daily number lottery chooses th

butalik [34]

Answer:

a). The mean = 1000

The variance = 999,000

The standard deviation = 999.4999

b). 1000 times , loss

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of geometric distribution is given as , $\mu = \frac{1}{p}$

And the variance is given by, $\sigma ^2=\frac{q}{p^2}$

Given : $p=\frac{1}{1000}$

= 0.001

The formulae of mean and variance are :

$\mu = \frac{1}{p}$

$\sigma ^2=\frac{q}{p^2}$

$\sigma ^2=\frac{1-p}{p^2}$

a). Mean = $\mu = \frac{1}{p}$

= $\mu = \frac{1}{0.001}$

= 1000

Variance = $\sigma ^2=\frac{1-p}{p^2}$

= $\sigma ^2=\frac{1-0.001}{0.001^2}$

= 999,000

The standard deviation is determined by the root of the variance.

$\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2}$

= $\sqrt{999,000}$ = 999.4999

b). We expect to have play lottery 1000 times to win, because the mean in part (a) is 1000.

When we win the profit is 500 - 1 = 499

When we lose, the profit is -1

Expected value of the mean μ is the summation of a product of each of the possibility x with the probability P(x).

$\mu=\Sigma\ x\ P(x)= 499 \times 0.001+(-1) \times (1-0.001)$

= $ 0.50

Since the answer is negative, we are expected to make a loss.

Answer:

2 minutes, 40 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a proportion and cross-multiply:

4/3 = x/2

3x = 8

x = 2 2/3 which is 2 minutes, 40 seconds
