Write the equation of an exponential function that passes through the points (2,48) and (5,750).

1 answer:

7 0

Ok, so the function form is y = a * bx.
Substitute in the values:
750 = a * b5
and
48 = a * b2
Then divide the two equations:
750/ 48 = (a * b5) / (a * b2)
So:
15.625 = b3
Take the cube root of both sides:
2.5 = b
Now, substitue b into one of the equations (the one with 48 has smaller numbers and is easier to work with.)
48 = a * 2.52
Simplify.
48 = a * 6.25
Divide both sides by 6.25
7.68 = a
Now substitute in a and b to write the exponential function:
y = 7.68 * 2.5x

Jose wants to put a fence around his rectangular garden. His garden measures 31 feet by 33 feet. The garden has a path around it

vlabodo [156]

3 feet width is added to both sides .
so the dimensions become 34 feet and 36feet
hence the fencing length required or the perimeter= 2(l+b)
= 2( 34+36)
= 2(70)
= 140feet fence

Which of the following ordered pairs could be the y-intercept of the function?

kolbaska11 [484]

I would probably say (0,0) just because (5,0) falls on the x-axis and not on the y-axis and the other are just regular plotting coordinates. (0,0) is the only one that falls on the y-axis although it still falls on the x-axis as well

Vitamin D, whether ingested as a dietary supplement or produced naturally when sunlight falls on the skin, is essential for stro

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

a) The 98% confidence interval would be given (0.182;0.218).

b) We are 98% confident that the true proportion of of England people who are deficient in Vitamin D is between 0.182 and 0.218.

c) If repeated samples were taken and the 98% confidence interval computed for each sample, 98% of the intervals would contain the population proportion.

d) Yes since the confidence interval not contains the value 0.25, we can refute the claim at 2% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=2700 represent the random sample taken

X represent the people in England who are deficient in Vitamin D

$\hat p=0.2$ estimated proportion of England people who are deficient in Vitamin D

$\alpha=0.02$ represent the significance level

Confidence =0.98 or 98%

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p= population proportion of England people who are deficient in Vitamin D

Part a

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 98% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.98=0.02$ and $\alpha/2=0.01$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=2.33$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.20 - 2.33 \sqrt{\frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{2700}}=0.182$

$0.20 + 2.33 \sqrt{\frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{2700}}=0.218$

And the 98% confidence interval would be given (0.182;0.218).

Part b

We are 98% confident that the true proportion of of England people who are deficient in Vitamin D is between 0.182 and 0.218.

Part c

If repeated samples were taken and the 98% confidence interval computed for each sample, 98% of the intervals would contain the population proportion.

Part d

Yes since the confidence interval not contains the value 0.25, we can refute the claim at 2% of significance.

Amir says the graph of<br> y= x2 + 16 has -4 as a zero. Is Amir correct?<br> Explain.

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Amir is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

The function y = x² + 16 is positive for any value of x, hence the graph has no intersection with the x-axis and therefore has no real zero's.

If no zero's, -4 also can't be its zero.
