<em><u>x = 10.4 (1dp)</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' theorem, a^2 = b^2 + c^2 where a is the hypotinues; b and c is the two sides

a^2 = b^2 + c^2

12^2 = 6^2 + x^2

144 = 36 + x^2

x^2 = 144 - 36

x^2 = 108

x = _/108

x = 10.4 (1dp)

Find the value of x for the following equivalent functions: f(x)=2x^2−3x+4 and f(x)=2x^2−1

masha68 [24]

A) y = 2x – 7 and f(x) = 7 – 2xIncorrect. These equations look similar but are not the same. The first has a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of −7. The second function has a slope of −2 and a y-intercept of 7. It slopes in the opposite direction. They do not produce the same graph, so they are not the same function. The correct answer is f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5. B) 3x = y – 2 and f(x) = 3x – 2Incorrect. These equations represent two different functions. If you rewrite the first equation in terms of y, you’ll find the equation of the function is y = 3x + 2. The correct answer is f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5. C) f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5Correct. The expressions that follow f(x) = and y = are the same, so these are two different ways to write the same function: f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5. D) None of the aboveIncorrect. Look at the expressions that follow f(x) = and y =. If the expressions are the same, then the equations represent the same exact function. The correct answer is f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5.

The body temperatures of adults are normally distributed with a mean of 98.6degrees° F and a standard deviation of 0.60degrees°

Schach [20]

Answer:

97.72% probability that their mean body temperature is greater than 98.4degrees° F.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$
