Answer:

a. f(t) = (0.99)^{t} 100%\\

b. The x - intercept represents the time at which the battery life drops to 0 %.

c. The y - intercept represents the initial battery life.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Construct an equation using f(t) and t that represents the relationship between

"f(t)" the battery capacity of a typical smartphone after "t" months and "L" the

number of months the smartphone has been in normal use.

Let the initial battery life be I.

After one month, it decreases by 1%. So, our new value, I' = initial value - decrease = I - 1%I = 99%I.

After two months, it decreases by 1% to our new value I". So, our new value, I" = initial value - decrease = I' - 1%I' = 99%I' = 99%(99%)I = (99%)²I

After three months, it decreases by 1% to our new value I'". So, our new value, I"' = initial value - decrease = I" - 1%I" = 99%I" = 99%(99%)²I = (99%)³I

We see a pattern here.

After t months, f(t)

f(t) = (0.99)^{t} 100%\\

b. What does the horizontal intercept represent in context? (The x-intercept)

The x - intercept represents the time at which the battery life drops to 0 %.

c. What does the vertical intercept represent in context? (The y-intercept)

The y - intercept represents the initial battery life.

Sloan [31]
Total number of bulbs = 64
Number of defective bulbs = 10
Number of good bulbs = 64 - 10 = 54

P(5 good bulbs) = (54/64)⁵ = (27/32)⁵ = 0.428

Answer please! I have been "getting" the correct answer, as far as I know. The answer which I got was 10x^2 - 4x. But I don't se
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The answer is 10x² - 4x.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to apply Distributive Law,

a(m + n) = am + an

So for this question :

2x(5x - 2)

= 2x(5x) + 2x( - 2)

= 10 {x}^{2}  - 4x

Brian was asked to write x72 as a product of 2 powers with the same base in 4 different ways, using only positive exponents.
Oksana_A [137]

The equivalent expression to the value given using the laws of indices is  {x}^{4(18)}

Evaluating the options given based on the laws of indices :

  • {x}^{8}. {x}^{9}  =  {x}^{8 + 9}  =  {x}^{17}
  • {x}^{35}. {x}^{47}  =  {x}^{35 + 47}  =  {x}^{82}
  • {x}^{4(18)}  =  {x}^{4 \times 18}  =  {x}^{72}
  • {x}^{24}. {x}^{3}  =  {x}^{24 + 3}  =  {x}^{27}

Therefore, the only expression which would give a correct way of representing {x}^{72} \: is \: {x}^{4(18)}

Your firm has a contract to make staff uniforms for a fast-food retailer. The heights of the staff are normally distributed with
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

a) 16%

b) 2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The mean is 70 with standard deviation(SD) of 3 and you are asked to find out the percentage of staff that have <67(70-3 inch= mean - 1 SD) inch size, which means 1 SD below the mean (<-1 SD). Using 68-95-99.7 rule, you can know that 68% of the population is inside 1 SD range from the mean ( -1 SD to + 1 SD).

To put it on another perspective, there are 32% of the population that have < -1 SD and > +1 SD value. Assuming the distribution is symmetrical, then the value of < - 1 SD alone is 32%/2= 16%

b)

The question asks how many populations have size >76 inches, or mean + 2 SD (70+3*2 inch).

You can also solve this using 68-95-99.7 rule, but you take 95% value as the question asking for 2 SD instead.  Since 95% of population is inside 2 SD range from the mean ( -2 SD to + 2 SD), so there are 5% of population that have < -2 SD and > +2 SD value. Assuming the distribution is symmetrical, then the value of > +2 SD alone is 5%/2= 2.5%
