The function f(x) =logb(x+2) passed through point (14,2)

The sales tax for an item was $8.80 and it cost $440 before tax.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In non-mathematical form, the question is asking $8.80 is what percent of $440. N will equal the percent. So, you would set up the equation like this: 20 = N · 440

You need to solve the equation.

20/440 = N · 440/440

0.045 repeating = N

Rounded, the sales tax rate would be 4.5%

Suppose the sediment density (g/cm) of a randomly selected specimen from a certain region is normally distributed with mean 2.65

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Probability that the sample average is at most 3.00 = 0.98030

Probability that the sample average is between 2.65 and 3.00 = 0.4803

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the sediment density (g/cm) of a randomly selected specimen from a certain region is normally distributed with mean 2.65 and standard deviation 0.85.

Also, a random sample of 25 specimens is selected.

Let X bar = Sample average sediment density

The z score probability distribution for sample average is given by;

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

where, $\mu$ = population mean = 2.65

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 0.85

n = sample size = 25

(a) Probability that the sample average sediment density is at most 3.00 is given by = P( X bar <= 3.00)

P(X bar <= 3) = P( $\frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ <= $\frac{3-2.65}{\frac{0.85}{\sqrt{25} } }$ ) = P(Z <= 2.06) = 0.98030

(b) Probability that sample average sediment density is between 2.65 and 3.00 is given by = P(2.65 < X bar < 3.00) = P(X bar < 3) - P(X bar <= 2.65)

P(X bar < 3) = P( $\frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{3-2.65}{\frac{0.85}{\sqrt{25} } }$ ) = P(Z < 2.06) = 0.98030

P(X bar <= 2.65) = P( $\frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ <= $\frac{2.65-2.65}{\frac{0.85}{\sqrt{25} } }$ ) = P(Z <= 0) = 0.5

Therefore, P(2.65 < X bar < 3) = 0.98030 - 0.5 = 0.4803 .

1. what is the simplified form of -(x - 4)?

pav-90 [236]

1. To simplify -(x-4) change the sign on each term inside parenthesis:

-(x-4) would become -x+4

The answer is B.

2. -4xy / 3x

Cancwl the common factor out

-4xy / 3x (cross out the x's)

-4y /3

The answer is C.

Write the equation of the line passing through the points (-4,-1) and (2,8)

klio [65]

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Calculate the slope with two given coordinate points by using rise over run.

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Let these points

$\begin{cases}(x_1, y_1) = ( - 4, - 1) \\ (x_2, y_2) = ( 2, 8) \end{cases}$

$m = \frac{8 - ( - 1)}{2 - ( - 4)} \\ m = \frac{8 + 1}{2 + 4} \Longrightarrow \frac{9}{6} \Longrightarrow \frac{3}{2} \\ m = \frac{3}{2}$

Slope-Intercept

$y = mx + b \\ m = slope \\ b = y - intercept$

Substitute the value of m in the equation.

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + b$

Substitute any coordinate points that are given or part of the graph in the equation.

$(x_, y) = ( - 4, - 1)$

$- 1 = \frac{3}{2} ( - 4) + b$

Solve the equation for b-term.

$- 1 = \frac{3}{ \cancel{2}} ( \cancel{ - 4}) + b\\ - 1 = 3( - 2) + b \\ - 1 = - 6 + b \\ - 1 + 6 = b \\ 5 = b$

Rewrite the equation by substituting the value of b in the equation.

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + 5$

<h3>Answer</h3>

$\large \boxed{y = \frac{3}{2} x + 5}$

If you have any questions related to the answer, feel free to ask via comment.

What is the constant rate???

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The constant rate is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

40 ÷ 10 = 4

80 ÷ 20 = 4

120 ÷ 30 = 4

160 ÷ 40 = 4

They all equal 4 so that is the constant rate.
