Answer:

B. a base that is equal than 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If f(x) = ax, then we call a the base of the exponential function. The base must always be positive. In fact, for any real number x, 1x = 1, so f(x)=1x is the same function as the constant function f(x) = 1.

A certain test preparation course is designed to help students improve their scores on the LSAT exam. A mock exam is given at th

Valentin [98]

Answer:

$\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$ (2)

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}$ (3)

The mean calculated for this case is $\bar X=12.8$

The sample deviation calculated $s=4.324 \approx 4.3$

$12.8-4.604\frac{4.324}{\sqrt{5}}=3.896$

$12.8+ 4.604\frac{4.324}{\sqrt{5}}=21.704$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (3.896;21.704)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data: 10,9,20,13,12

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:

$\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$ (2)

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}$ (3)

The mean calculated for this case is $\bar X=12.8$

The sample deviation calculated $s=4.324$

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=5-1=4$

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of $\alpha=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,4)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=4.604$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$12.8-4.604\frac{4.324}{\sqrt{5}}=3.896$

$12.8+ 4.604\frac{4.324}{\sqrt{5}}=21.704$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (3.896;21.704)

Forces with magnitudes of 2000 newtons and 900 newtons act on a machine part at angles of +30degrees and -45degrees respectively

mote1985 [20]

To get the resultant magnitude and direction of the forces we need to separate the force into its x and y components. For the x components it is the sum of 2000cos(30) and 900cos(45), which is 2368.4469 N. For the y components it will be the sum of 2000sin(30) and -900sin(45), the value for the second force is negative because it is pointing downwards, their sum would be 363.6038 N. The magnitude for the resultant force can be determined using the pythagorean theorem R=sqrt(2368.4469^2 + 363.6038^2) while its direction is found using tan^-1(363.6038/2368.4469). The final answer would be 2396.1946 N with an angle of 8.7279 degrees from the right side of x axis.

Answer:

C. (f - g)(x) = 3ˣ - 2x + 14

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Distributive Property

Algebra I

Function Notation
Combining Like Terms

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

f(x) = 3ˣ + 10

g(x) = 2x - 4

(f - g)(x) is f(x) - g(x)

Step 2: Find (f - g)(x)

Substitute: (f - g)(x) = 3ˣ + 10 - (2x - 4)
Distribute -1: (f - g)(x) = 3ˣ + 10 - 2x + 4
Combine like terms: (f - g)(x) = 3ˣ - 2x + 14
