Answer:

(A) Always true

(B) Seldom true

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) Both sides of an equation can be multiplied by the same number without this action changing the solution of the equation.

Keyword here is "number".

Multiplying both sides of an equation by an equal quantity (same number) will result in same solution after solving for the unknown in the equation. This is because that numeric quantity can always be removed by dividing both sides of the equation by it or by a factor (or multiple) of it.

EXAMPLE:

For a linear equation, 4x - 6 = 15x

let's find the solution, in other words solve for the unknown value X.

4x - 15x = 6

-11x = 6

x = -6/11

Now multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

3(4x - 6) = 3(15x)

12x - 18 = 45x ___new equation

Solve for X

12x - 45x = 18

-33x = 18

x = -18/33

Reduce the fraction to its simplest form by looking for a number that can divide both numerator and denominator without remainder. In other words, think of a number that is a factor of 18 and a factor of 33.

That common factor or highest common factor (HCF) is 3.

Go ahead and reduce the fraction.

x will be reduced to -6/11

(B) Both sides of an inequality can seldom be multiplied by the same number, without such action changing the solution set of the equation.

Inequalities are more complex. Operational signs even change sometimes, in the course of finding the solution set of the inequality.

Sometimes, multiplying both sides of an inequality by a given numeric quantity will change its solution set and sometimes, it won't.

In a sample of 679 new websites registered on the Internet, 42 were anonymous (i.e., they shielded their name and contact inform

Semmy [17]

Answer:

95% Confidence interval: (0.0429,0.0791)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 679

Number of anonymous websites, x = 42

$\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{42}{679} = 0.0618$

95% Confidence interval:

$\hat{p}\pm z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

$z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 1.96$

Putting the values, we get:

$0.0618\pm 1.96(\sqrt{\dfrac{0.0618(1-0.0618)}{679}}) = 0.0618\pm 0.0181\\\\=(0.0429,0.0791)$

is the required confidence interval for proportion of all new websites that were anonymous.

If k(x) = x^2 and p(x) = k(x) + n, what is the value of n?

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The value of n is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

If the function f(x) is translated k units up, then its image is g(x) = f(x) + k

If the function f(x) is translated k units down, then its image is g(x) = f(x) - k

The vertex form of the quadratic function is f(x) = a(x - h)² + k, where a is the coefficient of x² and (h, k) is the vertex

∵ k(x) = x²

→ Its graph is a parabola with vertex (0, 0)

∴ The vertex of the prabola which represents it is (0, 0)

∵ The given graph is the graph of p(x)

∵ Its vertex is (0, -6)

∴ h = 0 and k = -6

∵ a = 1

→ Substitute them in the form above

∴ p(x) = 1(x - 0)² + -6

∴ p(x) = x² - 6

→ Substitute x² by k(x)

∴ p(x) = k(x) - 6

∵ p(x) = k(x) + n

→ By comparing the two right sides

∴ n = -6

∴ The value of n is -6

Look at the attached figure for more understanding

The red parabola represents k(x)

The blue parabola represents p(x)

I can't fail and no one has answered my previous questions so please help.

Afina-wow [57]

When you know your equation f(x) and they want you to find f(-4), it means that they want to know what f(x) is worth when x=-4 Therefore, you only need to plug in you x in the equation f(x)=5x-2 f(-4)=5(-4)-2 =-20-2 =-22 (B)
