Why is it not a probability distribution

In probability, the sum of all probabilities must equal 0.

But in this case:

$\sum P(x) \ne 0$

Because:

$0.08 + 0.23 + 0.44 + 0.12 + 0.24 \ne 0$

$1.11 \ne 0$

Hence:

A jet ski depreciates at 11% of its original value each year. If the jet ski was $8,000 at its time of purchase, what is the val

dsp73

Compounded depreciation formula:

A = P(1 - r)ⁿ , where P = original price, r= rate of depreciation, n = number of years and A = actual value (after depreciation):

A= $8000(1 - 11%)⁵ = 8000(0.89)⁵ = 4,467.24 ≈$4,467

Let $f(x) = 2x^2 + 3x - 9,$ $g(x) = 5x + 11,$ and $h(x) = -3x^2 + 1.$ Find $f(x) - g(x) + h(x).$

Viefleur [7K]

QUESTION 1

Given that:

$f(x)=2x^2+3x-9$ ,

$g(x)=5x+11$ ,

and

$h(x)=-3x^2+1$

Then;

$f(x)-g(x)+h(x)=2x^2+3x-9-(5x+11)+(-3x^2+1)$

$f(x)-g(x)+h(x)=2x^2+3x-9-5x-11-3x^2+1$

Group similar terms;

$f(x)-g(x)+h(x)=2x^2-3x^2+3x-5x-11-9+1$

Simplify;

$f(x)-g(x)+h(x)=-x^2-2x-19$

QUESTION 2

Given that;

$f(x)=4x-7$ .

$g(x)=(x+1)^2$

and

$s(x)=f(x)+g(x)$

Substitute the functions;

$s(x)=4x-7+(x+1)^2$

Substitute x=3

$s(3)=4(3)-7+(3+1)^2$

$s(3)=12-7+(4)^2$

$s(3)=5+16$

$s(3)=21$

QUESTION 3

Given:

$f(x)=3x+2$

$g(x)=x^2-5x-1$

$f(g(x))=f(x^2-5x-1)$

This implies that;

$f(g(x))=3(x^2-5x-1)+2$

Expand the parenthesis;

$f(g(x))=3x^2-15x-3+2$

$f(g(x))=3x^2-15x-1$

QUESTION 4

The given function is;

$f(x)=3(x-6)^2+1$

Let

$y=3(x-6)^2+1$

$\Rightarrow y-1=3(x-6)^2$

$\Rightarrow \frac{y-1}{3}=(x-6)^2$

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{\frac{y-1}{3}}=x-6$

$\Rightarrow x=6+\sqrt{\frac{y-1}{3}}$

The range is:

$\frac{y-1}{3}\ge0$

$y-1\ge0$

$y\ge1$

The interval notation is;

$[1,+\infty)$
