Answer: x < 10

Step-by-step explanation: Just like any of your two-step equations, in this inequality, start by isolating the x term which in this case is 6x by adding 5 to both sides.

That leaves you with 6x < 60 and now just divide both sides by 2 and x < 10.

Notice that because we divide both sides of the inequality

by a positive number, not a negative, we did not change the

direction of the inequality sign.

Finally, put your answer in set notation, {x: x < 10}.

Unlike an equation which normally has one solution, the answer to an inequality must be stated as a solution set because an entire set of answers will work. In this problem, it's any number less than 10.

The distribution of the number of viewers for the American Idol television show follows a normal distribution with a mean of 26

hjlf

Answer:

Probability that next week's show will have between 30 and 37 million viewers is 0.2248.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the distribution of the number of viewers for the American Idol television show follows a normal distribution with a mean of 26 million with a standard deviation of 8 million.

Let X = number of viewers for the American Idol television show

So, X ~ N( $\mu=26,\sigma^{2}=8^{2}$ )

Now, the z score probability distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean = 26 million

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 8 million

So, probability that next week's show will have between 30 and 37 million viewers is given by = P(30 < X < 37) = P(X < 37) - P(X $\leq$ 30)

P(X < 37) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{37-26}{8}$ ) = P(Z < 1.38) = 0.91621

P(X $\leq$ 30) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{30-26}{8}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ 0.50) = 0.69146

Therefore, P(30 < X < 37) = 0.91621 - 0.69146 = 0.2248

Hence, probability that next week's show will have between 30 and 37 million viewers is 0.2248.

Answer:

a) the common difference is 20

b) $x_8=115 , x_{12}=195$

c) the common difference is -13

d) $a_{12}=52, a_{15}=13$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) what is the common difference of the sequence xn

Looking at the table, we get x_3=16, x_4=36 and x_5= 56

Deterring the common difference by subtracting x_4 from x_3 we get

36-16 =20

So, the common difference is 20

b) what is x_8? what is x_12

The formula used is: $x_n=x_1+(n-1)d$

We know common difference d= 20, we need to find $x_1$

Using $x_3=16$ we can find $x_1$

$x_n=x_1+(n-1)d\\x_3=x_1+(3-1)d\\15=x_1+2(20)\\15=x_1+40\\x_1=15-40\\x_1=-25$

So, We have $x_1 = -25$

Now finding $x_8$

$x_n=x_1+(n-1)d\\x_8=x_1+(8-1)d\\x_8=-25+7(20)\\x_8=-25+140\\x_8=115$

So, $\mathbf{x_8=115}$

Now finding $x_{12}$

$x_n=x_1+(n-1)d\\x_{12}=x_1+(12-1)d\\x_{12}=-25+11(20)\\x_{12}=-25+220\\x_{12}=195$

So, $\mathbf{x_{12}=195}$

c) what is the common difference of the sequence $a_m$

Looking at the table, we get a_7=104, a_8=91 and a_9= 78

Deterring the common difference by subtracting a_7 from a_8 we get

91-104 =-13

So, the common difference is -13

d) what is a_12? what is a_15?

The formula used is: $a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

We know common difference d= -13, we need to find $a_1$

Using $a_7=104$ we can find $x_1$

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\a_7=a_1+(7-1)d\\104=a_1+7(-13)\\104=a_1-91\\a_1=104+91\\a_1=195$

So, We have $a_1 = 195$

Now finding $a_{12}$ , put n=12

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\a_{12}=a_1+(12-1)d\\a_{12}=195+11(-13)\\a_{12}=195-143\\a_{12}=52$

So, $\mathbf{a_{12}=52}$

Now finding $a_{15}$ , put n=15

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\a_{15}=a_1+(15-1)d\\a_{15}=195+14(-13)\\a_{15}=195-182\\a_{15}=13$

So, $\mathbf{a_{15}=13}$

For the composite function, identify an inside function and an outside function and write the derivative with respect to x of th

alexira [117]

Answer:

The inner function is $h(x)=4x^2 + 8$ and the outer function is $g(x)=3x^5$ .

The derivative of the function is $\frac{d}{dx}\left(3\left(4x^2+8\right)^5\right)=120x\left(4x^2+8\right)^4$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A composite function can be written as $g(h(x))$ , where $h$ and $g$ are basic functions.

For the function $f(x)=3(4x^2+8)^5$ .

The inner function is the part we evaluate first. Frequently, we can identify the correct expression because it will appear within a grouping symbol one or more times in our composed function.

Here, we have $4x^2+8$ inside parentheses. So $h(x)=4x^2 + 8$ is the inner function and the outer function is $g(x)=3x^5$ .

The chain rule says:

$\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))]=f'(g(x))g'(x)$

It tells us how to differentiate composite functions.

The function $f(x)=3(4x^2+8)^5$ is the composition, $g(h(x))$ , of

outside function: $g(x)=3x^5$

inside function: $h(x)=4x^2 + 8$

The derivative of this is computed as

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(3\left(4x^2+8\right)^5\right)=3\frac{d}{dx}\left(\left(4x^2+8\right)^5\right)\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:chain\:rule}:\quad \frac{df\left(u\right)}{dx}=\frac{df}{du}\cdot \frac{du}{dx}\\f=u^5,\:\:u=\left(4x^2+8\right)\\\\3\frac{d}{du}\left(u^5\right)\frac{d}{dx}\left(4x^2+8\right)\\\\3\cdot \:5\left(4x^2+8\right)^4\cdot \:8x\\\\120x\left(4x^2+8\right)^4$

The derivative of the function is $\frac{d}{dx}\left(3\left(4x^2+8\right)^5\right)=120x\left(4x^2+8\right)^4$ .
