<h3>Answer: 10%</h3>

Work Shown:

2/20 = 0.10 = 10%

Note that 10% of 20 = 0.10*20 = 2 dollars is the sales tax to help confirm the answer.

Evaluate each function at each of the four points.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All we have to do is input the given values of x into the functions.

The first function:

f(x) = x^2 - 5x - 6

f(0) = 0^2 - 5(0) - 6 = 0 - 0 - 6 = -6

f(0) = -6

f(2) = 2^2 - 5(2) - 6 = 4 - 10 - 6 = -12

f(2) = -12

f(-1) = -1^2 - 5(-1) - 6 = 1 + 6 - 6 = 1

f(-1) = 1

f(6) = 6^2 -5(6) - 6 = 36 - 30 - 6 = 0

f(6) = 0

The second function:

f(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 12

f(0) = 0^3 - 0^2 - 12 = 0 - 0 - 12 = -12

f(0) = -12

f(2) = 2^3 - 2^2 - 12 = 8 - 4 - 12 = -8

f(2) = -8

f(-1) = -1^3 - (-1)^2 - 12 = -1 - 1 - 12 = -14

f(-1) = -14

f(6) = 6^3 - 6^2 - 12 = 216 - 36 - 12 = 168

f(6) = 168

The third function:

f(x) = 5 * 2^x

f(0) = 5 * 2^0 = 5 * 1 = 5

f(0) = 5

f(2) = 5 * 2^2 = 5 * 4 = 20

f(2) = 20

f(-1) = 5 * 2^-1 = 5 * 0.5 = 2.5

f(-1) = 2.5

f(6) = 5 * 2^6 = 5 * 64 = 320

f(6) = 320

ASAPPP!!!! HELP I WILL GIVE 100POINTS AND BRAINLIST Question 9 (Essay Worth 10 points)

Luda [366]

Answer:

Part A)

The x-intercepts are (-1/4, 0) and (4, 0).

Part B)

The vertex is a maximum because the leading coefficient is negative.

The vertex is (1.875, 72.25).

Part C)

We can plot the zeros and the vertex, and connect them with a curve.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function given is:

$f(x)=-16x^2+60x+16$

Part A)

To find the x-intercepts of the function, set the function equal to 0 and solve for x:

$0=-16x^2+60x+16$

We can divide both sides by negative four:

$0=4x^2-15x-4$

Factor:

$0=(4x+1)(x-4)$

Zero Product Property:

$x-4=0\text{ or } 4x+1=0$

Solve for each case:

$\displaystyle x=-\frac{1}{4}\text{ or }x=4$

Hence, our zeros are:

$\displaystyle \left(-\frac{1}{4}, 0\right)\text{ and } \left(4, 0\right)$

Part B)

Note that the leading coefficient of our function is negative.

So, our function will be concave down.

Hence, our vertex will be the maximum.

The vertex is given by:

$\displaystyle \left(-\frac{b}{2a}, f\left(-\frac{b}{2a}\right)\right)$

In this case, a = -16, b = 60, and c = 16.

Find the x-coordinate of the vertex:

$\displaystyle x=-\frac{(60)}{2(-16)}=\frac{15}{8}=1.875$

Substitute this back into the function to find the y-coordinate:

$f(1.875)=-16(1.875)^2+60(1.875)+16=72.25$

Hence, our vertex is:

$(1.875, 72.25)$

Part C)

Since we already determined the zeros and the vertex, we can plot the two zeros and the vertex and draw a curve between the three points.

The graph is shown below. Again, to do this by hand, simply plot the three points and connect them with a parabola. If necessary, we can also find the y-intercept.

The water works commission needs to know the mean household usage of water by the residents of a small town in gallons per day.

valina [46]

Answer:

A sample of 179 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.85}{2} = 0.075$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.075 = 0.925$ , so Z = 1.44.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

A previous study found that for an average family the variance is 1.69 gallon?

This means that $\sigma = \sqrt{1.69} = 1.3$

If they are using a 85% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of water?

A sample of n is needed, and n is found for M = 0.14. So

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.14 = 1.44\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.14\sqrt{n} = 1.44*1.3$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.44*1.3}{0.14}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.44*1.3}{0.14})^2$

$n = 178.8$

Rounding up

A sample of 179 is needed.
