Answer:
y
=
4
(
1
2
)
x
Explanation:
An exponential function is in the general form
y
=
a
(
b
)
x
We know the points
(
−
1
,
8
)
and
(
1
,
2
)
, so the following are true:
8
=
a
(
b
−
1
)
=
a
b
2
=
a
(
b
1
)
=
a
b
Multiply both sides of the first equation by
b
to find that
8
b
=
a
Plug this into the second equation and solve for
b
:
2
=
(
8
b
)
b
2
=
8
b
2
b
2
=
1
4
b
=
±
1
2
Two equations seem to be possible here. Plug both values of
b
into the either equation to find
a
. I'll use the second equation for simpler algebra.
If
b
=
1
2
:
2
=
a
(
1
2
)
a
=
4
Giving us the equation:
y
=
4
(
1
2
)
x
If
b
=
−
1
2
:
2
=
a
(
−
1
2
)
a
=
−
4
Giving us the equation:
y
=
−
4
(
−
1
2
)
x
However! In an exponential function,
b
>
0
, otherwise many issues arise when trying to graph the function.
The only valid function is
y
=
4
(
1
2
)
x
Answer:
A, C are true . B is not true.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean of a discrete random variable can be interpreted as the average outcome if the experiment is repeated many times. Expected value or average of the distribution is analogous to mean of the distribution.
The mean can be found using summation from nothing to nothing x times Upper P (x) , i.e ∑x•P(x).
Example : If two outcomes 100 & 50 occur with probabilities 0.5 each. Expected value (Average) (Mean) : ∑x•P(x) = (0.5)(100) + (0.5)(50) = 50 + 25 = 75
The mean may not be a possible value of the random variable.
Example : Mean of possible no.s on a die = ( 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 ) / 6 = 21/6 = 3.5, which is not a possible value of the random variable 'no. on a die'
The answer is 3 3x3x3=9
Hope this helped:)
Im pretty sure the quotient is 92
