Which table represents a nonlinear function?
2 answers:
Answer:
A two column table with five rows. The first column, x, has the entries, 0, 1, 2, 3. The second column, y, has the entries, negative 1.5, 1.5, 3, 4.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the x-values are evenly spaced, a linear function will have evenly-space y-values.
In the first table, the y-differences are all +8.
In the second table, the y-differences are 0, 1.5, 1.5, so are not all the same.
In the third table, the y-differences are all -3.
The second table represents a non-linear function.

34.0 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The total angle sum in a triangle should be 180° hence the missing angle will be given by
180°-145°-28°=7°
Using sine rule
By substituting 160 for m, 145° for M and 7° for L then
Making l the subject then
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the random variable representing the scores in the exam. Given that the scores are normally distributed with a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 5, the diagram representing the curve and the position of the mean, the mean plus or minus one standard deviation, the mean plus or minus two standard deviations, and the mean plus or minus three standard deviations is shown in the attached photo
1 standard deviation = 5
2 standard deviations = 2 × 5 = 10
3 standard deviations = 3 × 5 = 15
1 standard deviation from the mean lies between (40 - 5) and (40 + 5)
2 standard deviations from the mean lies between (40 - 10) and (40 + 10)
3 standard deviations from the mean lies between (40 - 15) and (40 + 15)
b) We would apply the probability for normal distribution which is expressed as
z = (x - µ)/σ
Where
x = sample mean
µ = population mean
σ = standard deviation
From the information given,
µ = 40
σ = 5
the probability that a randomly selected score will be greater than 50 is expressed as
P(x > 50) = 1 - P( ≤ x 50)
For x = 50,
z = (50 - 40)/5 = 2
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.98
P(x > 50) = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02
