Answer:

h(x) = (1/4)x - 2 which is choice A

Step-by-step explanation:

Replace f(x) with y. Then swap x and y. Lastly, solve for y to get the inverse.

f(x) = 4x+8

y = 4x+8

x = 4y+8

x-8 = 4y

4y = x-8

y = (x-8)/4

y = x/4 - 8/4

y = (1/4)x - 2

h(x) = (1/4)x - 2

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

1)Area of circle: 64 $\pi$

2)Area of semicircles: 128 $\pi$

3)Area of quarter-circles: 128 $\pi$

4)Total area of pattern: 320 $\pi$

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 8cm

Given: 1 circle, 4 semicircles, and 8 quarter-circles.

Area of a circle: $\pi r^{2}$

1) A = $\pi r^{2}$ where r = 8

A = 64 $\pi$

2) 4 semicircles = 2 circles

so the answer is 2*A = 128 $\pi$

3) 8 quarter-circles = 2 circles

Therefore, the answer here is the same as the answer for #2!

4)There are 5 circles total because:

1 circle = 1 circle

4 semicircles divided by 2 = 2 circles (because $\frac{1}{2}$ times 4)

8 quarter-circles divided by 4 (think about what "quarter" means) = 2 circles

So ... 1 + 2 + 2 = 5 circles

Now we need to find the area of 5 circles which is just 5*A

5*A = 320 $\pi$

How quickly do synthetic fabrics such as polyester decay in landfills? A researcher buried polyester strips in thes oil for diff

ad-work [718]

Answer:

no enough evidence to draw up a conclusion

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

let: $\mu _{1}$ = decay after 2 weeks

$\mu _{2}$ = decay after 16 weeks

Making the hypotheses:

Null hypothesis; $H_{o} = \mu _{1} - \mu _{2} = 0$

the deviation = 0.05

the standard difference = 4

Conditions:

The normal distribution curve can be plotted on a graph and the plot shows that the distribution is a skewed distribution.

Then,

$t = \frac{(123.8-16.4)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{4.6^{2} }{5}+\frac{16.09^{2} }{5} } } \\ = 0.989$

Therefore, it can be concluded that 0.1983 > 0.05. This presents our failure to reject the null hypothesis.

Thus, there is not enough evidence to conclude that polyester decays more in less than 2 weeks.

Find a cartesian equation for the curve and identify it. r = 10 tan(θ) sec(θ)

Vilka [71]

For a cartesian equation
$x=r\cos\theta \ and \ y=r\sin\theta \\ \\ \cos\theta=\frac{x}{r} \ and \ \sin\theta=\frac{y}{r} \\ \\ \tan\theta=\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}=\frac{y}{r}\cdot\frac{r}{x}=\frac{y}{x} \\ \\ \sec\theta=\frac{1}{\cos\theta}=\frac{r}{x}$

Given r = 10 tan(θ) sec(θ)
$r=10\tan\theta\sec\theta=10\cdot\frac{y}{x}\cdot\frac{r}{x} \\ \\ \Rightarrow10y=x^2 \\ \\ \Rightarrow y= \frac{1}{10} x^2$

Therefore,the curve is a parabola opening upward with vertex (0, 0).
