For what values of b will F(x) = logbx be a decreasing function?
1 answer:
Answer:
It is a decreasing function for 0 < b < 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
Logarithm function:
The logarithm function is given by:
The base b determines if the function increases or decreases.
For 0 < b < 1, the function decreases.
For b > 1, the function increases.
In this question:
By the definition above, it is a decreasing function for 0 < b < 1.

Step-by-step explanation:
Let X denotes steel ball and Y denotes diamond
= 1/9( 50+57+......+51+53)
=530/9
=58.89
= 1/9( 52+ 56+....+ 51+ 56)
=543/9
=60.33
difference = d =(60.33- 58.89)
=1.44
s12 = 1/9( 502+572+......+512+532) -9/8 (58.89)2
=31686/8 - 9/8( 3468.03)
=3960.75 - 3901.53
=59.22
s1 = 7.69
s22 = 1/9( 522+ 562+....+ 512+ 562) -9/8 (60.33)2
=33295/8 - 9/8 (3640.11)
=4161.875 - 4095.12
=66.75
s2 =8.17
sample standard deviation for difference is
s=
=
=
=7.93
sd =
=
=7.93* 0.47
=3.74
For 95% confidence level =1.96
confidence interval is
=(1.44 - 1.96* 3.75 , 1.44+1.96* 3.75)
=(1.44 - 7.35 , 1.44 + 7.35)
=(-2.31, 8.79)
There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the two indenters produce different hardness readings.
