If f(x)=(1/8)(8^x) what is f(3)? A. 1/512 B. 1/64 C. 512 D. 64

Hi there!

Let's solve this problem step by step!
$f(x) = \frac{1}{8} (8 {}^{x})$

To find f(3) we must substitute x = 3 into the formula.
$f(3) = \frac{1}{8} (8 {}^{3} )$

Now we use PEMDAS (Parenthesis, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract) to find our answer.

Work out the exponents inside the parenthesis first.
$f(3) = \frac{1}{8} \times 512$

And finally multiply.
$f(3) = \frac{1}{8} \times \frac{512}{1} = \frac{512}{8} = 64$

Hence, the answer is D. 64.
~ Hope this helps you!

A student takes an exam containing 1414 multiple choice questions. The probability of choosing a correct answer by knowledgeable

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

0.0082 = 0.82% probability that he will pass

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the students guesses the correct answer, or he guesses the wrong answer. The probability of guessing the correct answer for a question is independent of other questions. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

$n = 14, p = 0.3$ .

If the student makes knowledgeable guesses, what is the probability that he will pass?

He needs to guess at least 9 answers correctly. So

$P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 9) = C_{14,9}.(0.3)^{9}.(0.7)^{5} = 0.0066$

$P(X = 10) = C_{14,10}.(0.3)^{10}.(0.7)^{4} = 0.0014$

$P(X = 11) = C_{14,11}.(0.3)^{11}.(0.7)^{3} = 0.0002$

$P(X = 12) = C_{14,12}.(0.3)^{12}.(0.7)^{2} = 0.000024$

$P(X = 13) = C_{14,13}.(0.3)^{13}.(0.7)^{1} = 0.000002$

$P(X = 14) = C_{14,14}.(0.3)^{14}.(0.7)^{0} \cong 0$

$P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) = 0.0066 + 0.0014 + 0.0002 + 0.000024 + 0.000002 = 0.0082$

0.0082 = 0.82% probability that he will pass

In the function f (x) = = (x²-1) / (x-1), what happens if x takes the value of 1? Explain your answer.

zhenek [66]

Answer:

If x=1, then f(x)= undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

1*1=1

1-1=0

0/0

You can't divide by 0, so anything that is divided by 0 is undefined.

((1*1)-1)/(1-1)

(1-1)/(1-1)

0/0

0/0=Undefined

f(x)= undefined

Solve this equation! Please Help! √3 x 66.15/4.41 (SHOW YOUR WORK)

finlep [7]

Hi Jessica,
Remember PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication & Division, Addition & Subtraction).

√3 x 66.15/4.41 {Exponents/Cube & Square Roots First}

1.73 x 66.15 ÷ 4.41 {Multiplication}

114.4395 ÷ 4.41 {Division}

25.95 {Final Answer}

Cheers,
Izzy
