Answer:

18 and 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the age of Claire and y the age of her mother

Claire's mother is 4 years more than twice Claire's age

  • y = 2x+4

The sum of their ages are is 58

  • x+y = 58

the system is:

\left \{ {{y=2x-4} \atop {y+x=58}} \right.  

Multiply (y+x = 58) by -1 and then add it to (y = 2x+4) to eliminate y

  • -y-x = -58
  • -y-x+y = 2x+4-58
  • -x -2x = -54
  • -3x = -54
  • x = 54/3
  • x = 18

y= 58-18 = 40

so claire's mother is 40 years old and claire is 18

For f(x) = 0.02(2)^x find the average rate of change from x= 3 to x= 8
Fudgin [204]

None of the offered choices is correct.

f(3) = 0.02·2³ = 0.02·8 = 0.16

f(8) = 0.02·2⁸ = 0.02·256 = 5.12

Then the average rate of change is

... (f(8) - f(3))/(8 - 3) = (5.12 -0.16)/5 = 4.96/5 = 0.992

A survey of
Zina [86]

Answer:

0.0208<p<0.0592

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given the sample size is 400 and the desired proportion is 16.

-The confidence interval can be determined as follows:

CI=\hat p\pm z\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p}{n}}\\\\\hat p=x/n=16/400=0.04

#We the use this proportion to find the CI at 95%:

CI=0.04\pm 1.96\times \sqrt{\frac{0.04(1-0.04)}{400}}\\\\=0.04\pm 0.0192\\\\=[0.0208,0.0592]

Hence, the 95% confidence interval is 0.0208<p<0.0592
