A farmer was interested in determining how many grasshoppers were in his field. He knows that the distribution of grasshoppers m

ay not be normally distributed in his field due to growing conditions. As he drives his tractor down each row he counts how many grasshoppers he sees flying away. After several rows he figures the mean number of flights to be 57 with a standard deviation of 12. What is the probability of the farmer will count 52 or fewer flights or 60 or more flights on average in the next 40 rows down which he drives his tractor?

solniwko [45]

The relationship between the percentage of frozen citrus crop, and the cost of box of oranges is an illustration of a linear function.

  • <em>The linear equation of the function is: </em>g(P) = 22.9P+7<em>.</em>
  • <em>The inverse function is: </em>g^{-1}(c) = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)<em> .</em>
  • <em>A practical domain is from 0% to 100%</em>
  • <em>A practical range is from 7 to 29.9 </em>

<u>A. Input quantity</u>

The input quantity is the percentage of frozen citrus crop

<u />

<u>B. Output quantity </u>

The output quantity is the cost of box of oranges

<u>C. The linear function</u>

We have:

(P_1,c_1) = (20\%,11.58)\\(P_2,c_2) = (80\%,25.32)

<em>Calculate the slope of the function</em>

m = \frac{c_2 - c_1}{P_2 - P_1}

m = \frac{25.32 - 11.58}{80\%-20\%}

m = \frac{13.74}{60\%}

m = 22.9

<em>The linear equation is calculated as follows:</em>

c -c_1 = m(P-P_1)

c -11.58= 22.9(P-20\%)

c-11.58 = 22.9P-4.58

<u>D. Rewrite as y = mx + b</u>

We have:

c-11.58 = 22.9P-4.58

Collect like terms

c = 22.9P - 4.58 + 11.58

c = 22.9P+7

<em>The function is:</em>

g(P) = 22.9P+7

<u>E. A practical domain</u>

The domain is the possible values of P.  Because P is a percentage, its possible values are 0% to 100%.

The domain of the function is: [0\%,100\%]

<u>F. A practical range</u>

When P = 0%

c = 22.9 \times 0\% + 7 = 7

When P = 100%

c = 22.9 \times 100\% + 7 = 29.9

Hence, the range of the function is: [7,29.9]

G. The meaning of g^{-1}(12)

The inverse function of g(P) is g^{-1}(P)

So:

g^{-1}(12) is the percentage of frozen citrus crop, when the cost is $12.

<u>H. The inverse formula</u>

We have:

c = 22.9P+7

Subtract 7 from both sides

c - 7 = 22.9P

Make P the subject

P = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)

So, the inverse formula is:

g^{-1}(c) = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)

Substitute 12 for c

g^{-1}(12) = \frac{1}{22.9}(12 - 7)

g^{-1}(12) = \frac{1}{22.9} \times 5

g^{-1}(12) = 22\%

If u(x) = x^5 – x^4 + x^2 and v(x) = –x^2, which expression is equivalent to (u/v)(x)?
Effectus [21]
Hello: 
x^5 – x^4 + x^2 =x^2(x^3 - x^2 +1)
(u/v)(x)= x^2(x^3 - x^2 +1)/(-x^2)
(u/v)(x)= - (x^3 - x^2 +1) = -x^3+x^2-1    (  x :  no zero)

60% of what number is 75
kramer
60\% \ of \ x =75 \\\\ \frac{60}{100}*x=75\\\\ \frac{6}{10}=\frac{75}{x} \\\\ \frac{3}{5}*\frac{75}{x} \\\\ x=\frac{5*75}{3} \\\\ x=5*25 \\\\ \boxed{x=125}
