Which of the following accurately shows the range of the function defined below?

Answer:

[2, positive infinity)

Step-by-step explanation:

the range is the interval of possible y-values or f(x) values.

for x<0 y is always and only 3.

for x between 0 and 2, y = x² + 2.

it clearly increases with increasing x. so, what is y for the smallest x ? the smallest x here is 0.

y = 0² + 2 = 2

for x larger or equal to 2, y = (1/2)×x + 5.

it again increases with increasing x. the smallest x here is 2.

y = (1/2)×2 + 5 = 1 + 5 = 6.

so, the smallest possible value for y is 2. and then it will approach positive infinity, when x approaches positive infinity. but it can never reach that (only after infinite time and at infinite x, so it is officially undefined), so that the interval is open on that end.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that three airlines serve a small town in Ohio. Airline A has 52% of all scheduled flights, airline B has 27% and airline C has the remaining 21%.

Their on-time rates are 83%, 66%, and 36%, respectively.

Airlines A B C

Flights 52% 27% 21% 100%

On time rates 83% 66% 36%

Flight*online rates 43.1600% 17.8200% 7.5600% 68.5400%

Thus the above table shows the product of no of flights and on time rates.

Prob it was airline A given it left on time

= $\frac{43.16}{68.54} \\=0.6297$

QUESTION A

The given inequality is

$x-1\:>\:5$

Add 1 to both sides of the inequality to obtain;

$x\:>\:5+1$

$x\:>\:6$

Answer: 2. $x\:>\:6$ , open dot at 6 and shaded to the right.(A)

QUESTION B.

The given inequality is $2x \le 6$ .

Divide both sides by 2;

$x \le \frac{6}{2}$ .

$x \le 3$ .

Answer: 5. $x \le 3$ , closed dot at 3 and shaded to the left(B).

QUESTION C

The given inequality is $x-7\:>\:-4$

Add 7 to both sides to get;

$x\:>\:-4+7$

$\Rightarrow x\:>\:3$

Answer: 7. $x\:>\:3$ , open dot at 3 and shaded to the right.(C)

QUESTION D

We want to solve;

$-2x \:$

Divide through by -2 and reverse the inequality sign;

$x \:>\:\frac{6}{-2}$

$x \:>\:-3$

Answer; 3. $x \:>\:-3$ Open dot at -3 and shaded to the right. (D)

QUESTION E

We have

$4\:$

Divide through by -4 and reverse the sign.

$\frac{4}{-4}\:>\:x$

$-1\:>\:x$

or

$x\:$

Answer: 6. $x\:$ open dot at -1, and shaded to the left(E)

QUESTION F

The given inequality is $-2x+3\:$

Add -3 to both sides to get;

$-2x\:$

$-2x\:$

Divide both sides of the inequality by -2 and reverse the sign;

$x\:>\:5$

Answer:9. $x\:>\:5$ , open dot at 5 and shaded to the right(F)

QUESTION G

The given inequality is

$5x+1\ge11$

$5x\ge11-1$

$5x\ge10$

Divide by 5

$x\ge2$

Answer ; 10. $x\ge2$ , closed dot at 2 and shaded to the right(G)

QUESTION H

We have $3(x+4)\:>\:8x-6$

Expand the bracket to get;

$3x+12\:>\:8x-6$

Group similar terms to get;

$3x-8x\:>\:-6-12$

Simplify

$-5x\:>\:-18$

Divide through by -5 and reverse the sign;

$x\:$

Answer: 1. $x\:$ Open dot at 18/5 and shaded to the left(H)

QUESTION I

We have $-3x+4\:$ .

$-3x+x\:$

$-2x\:$
