Bananas are .95/1 pound, what is the constant of proportionality?

Sidana [21]

Since y is .95 and x is 1 it is a unit rate which is the constant of proportionality.

Correct me if I am wrong.

For a normal distribution with μ=500 and σ=100, what is the minimum score necessary to be in the top 60% of the distribution?

STatiana [176]

Answer:

475.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that for a normal distribution with μ=500 and σ=100. We are asked to find the minimum score that is necessary to be in the top 60% of the distribution.

We will use z-score formula and normal distribution table to solve our given problem.

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

Top 60% means greater than 40%.

Let us find z-score corresponding to normal score to 40% or 0.40.

Using normal distribution table, we got a z-score of $-0.25$ .

Upon substituting our given values in z-score formula, we will get:

$-0.25=\frac{x-500}{100}$

$-0.25*100=\frac{x-500}{100}*100$

$-25=x-500$

$-25+500=x-500+500$

$x=475$

Therefore, the minimum score necessary to be in the top 60% of the distribution is 475.

Calculus piecewise function.

Kipish [7]

Part A

The notation $\lim_{x \to 2^{+}}f(x)$ means that we're approaching x = 2 from the right hand side (aka positive side). This is known as a right hand limit.

So we could start at say x = 2.5 and get closer to 2 by getting to x = 2.4 then to x = 2.3 then 2.2, 2.1, 2.01, 2.001, etc

We don't actually arrive at x = 2 itself. We simply move closer and closer.

Since we're on the positive or right hand side of 2, this means we go with the rule involving x > 2

Therefore f(x) = (x/2) + 1

Plug in x = 2 to find that...

f(x) = (x/2) + 1

f(2) = (2/2) + 1

f(2) = 2

This shows $\lim_{x \to 2^{+}}f(x) = 2$

Then for the left hand limit $\lim_{x \to 2^{-}}f(x)$ , we'll involve x < 2 and we go for the first piece. So,

f(x) = 3-x

f(2) = 3-2

f(2) = 1

Therefore, $\lim_{x \to 2^{-}}f(x) = 1$

===============================================================

Part B

Because $\lim_{x \to 2^{+}}f(x) \ne \lim_{x \to 2^{-}}f(x)$ this means that the limit $\lim_{x \to 2}f(x)$ does not exist.

If you are a visual learner, check out the graph below of the piecewise function. Notice the gap or disconnect at x = 2. This can be thought of as two roads that are disconnected. There's no way for a car to go from one road to the other. Because of this disconnect, the limit doesn't exist at x = 2.

===============================================================

Part C

You'll follow the same type of steps shown in part A.

However, keep in mind that x = 4 is above x = 2, so we'll deal with x > 2 only.

So you'd only involve the second piece f(x) = (x/2) + 1

You should find that f(4) = 3, and that both left and right hand limits equal this value. The left and right hand limits approach the same y value. The limit does exist here. There are no gaps to worry about when x = 4.

===============================================================

Part D

As mentioned earlier, since $\lim_{x \to 4^{+}}f(x) = \lim_{x \to 4^{-}}f(x) = 3$ , this means the limit $\lim_{x \to 4}f(x)$ does exist and it's equal to 3.

As x gets closer and closer to 4, the y values are approaching 3. This applies to both directions.
