<span>x 2 3 4
f(x) 5.5 7 8.5 </span>
The first function is linear. When you subtract 5.5 from 7, you get 1.5 and when you subtract 7 from 8.5 you also get 1.5. That's how we know it's a linear function because there's clearly pattern. HOWEVER, if you had 5.5, 7, and 9 that would not be a linear function. Why? Because when you take away 7 from 9 you get 2. In order for it to be a linear function you have to get the same exact number when you subtract.
<span>x 0 3 6
f(x) 1 8 64</span>
The second function is exponential because when you divide you get the exact same number. 8/1 = 8 and 64/8 = 8. So this is exponential. But if you had 72 instead of 64 it would not be an exponential function because there has to be a pattern.
I hope this makes sense. Btw I had this question on my test too and this is correct.
Answer:
2.083 < µ1 - µ2 < 5.917
Step-by-step explanation:
We will need to construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference of 2 means where the populations are normally distributed, and their variances are equal.
The calculations of the sample means and standard deviations are done for us.
Sample 1: Catalyst 1
n = 12, x = 85, s = 4
Sample 2: Catalyst 2
n = 10, x = 81, s = 5
See attached photo for the construction of the confidence interval...
Ok so we know that y=1 so we can simply sub in the value of y into the equation :
y = -5x +3
1 = -5x +3
Move the -5x to the LHS ( Left-hand-side ) therefore it changes sign as well move 1 to the RHS ( Right-hand-side ) it also changes sign.
5x = 3 - 1
5x = 2
x = 2/5
x = 0.4
Hope this helps :).
