Hello!

$\large\boxed{\text{Infinite discontinuity at x = 2}}$

$f(x) = \frac{x^{2} - 4x - 12}{x - 2}$

Recall that in a rational function, the denominator contains the vertical asymptote (an infinite discontinuity).

If terms can be canceled from the denominator and the numerator, then the function contains a hole. We can check whether this function contains such by factoring:

$f(x) = \frac{(x - 6)(x + 2)}{x - 2}$

There is no common factor, so the function only contains a discontinuity at its vertical asymptote.

Find the vertical asymptote by setting the denominator equal to 0:

x - 2 = 0

x = 2.

Answer:

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There no sufficient evidence to show that the proportion of salmonella in the region’s water differs from the proportion of salmonella in the region’s wildlife

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first sample size is $n_1 = 252$

The number that tested positive is $k_1 = 18$

The second sample size is $n_2 = 476$

The number that tested positive is $k_2 = 20$

The level of significance is $\alpha = 0.01$

Generally the first sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\^ p _1 = \frac{k_1 }{ n_1 }$

=> $\^ p _1 = \frac{18 }{ 252 }$

=> $\^ p _1 = 0.071$

Generally the second sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\^ p _2 = \frac{k_2 }{ n_2 }$

=> $\^ p _2 = \frac{20 }{ 476}$

=> $\^ p _2 = 0.042$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : p_1 - p_2 = 0$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : p_1 - p_2 \ne 0$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented

$z = \frac{ \^ p_1 - \^ p_2 - ( p_ 1 - p_2 )}{ \sqrt{\frac{\^ p_1 (1-\^ p_1)}{ n_1 } + \frac{\^ p_2 (1-\^ p_2)}{ n_2 } } }$

=> $z = \frac{ 0.071 - 0.042 - 0 }{ \sqrt{\frac{0.071 (1-0.071)}{ 252 } + \frac{0.042 (1-\^ 0.042)}{ 476 } } }$

=> $z = 1.56$

From the z table the area under the normal curve to the right corresponding to 1.56 is

$P(Z > 1.56 ) =0.05938$

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

$p-value = 2 * P(Z > 1.56 )$

=> $p-value = 2 * 0.05938$

=> $p-value = 0.1188$

From the value obtained we see that $p-value > \alpha$ hence

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There no sufficient evidence to show that the proportion of salmonella in the region’s water differs from the proportion of salmonella in the region’s wildlife

State if the two triangles are similar and the rule that applies.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The SAS rule states that two triangles are similar if the ratio of their corresponding two sides is equal and also, the angle formed by the two sides is equal. Side-Side-Side (SSS) rule: Two triangles are similar if all the corresponding three sides of the given triangles are in the same proportion.
