Answer:

A function is an equation that has only one answer for y for every x. A function assigns exactly one output to each input of a speceified type. It is common to name a function either f(x) or g(x) instead of y. f(2) means that we should find the value of our function when x equals 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

here is a step by step equation:

f(x) = x + 7

if:

x=2

then:

f(2) = 2 + 7 = 9

A function is linear if it can be defined by

f(x) = mx + b

Makes sense? Hope I helped

plus I'm in middle school learning this also.

Porphyrin is a pigment in blood protoplasm and other body fluids that is significant in body energy and storage. Let x be a rand

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Question 1:

(a) P(x<60) = 0.9236

(b) P(x>16) = 0.9564

(c) P(16<x<60) = 0.88

(d) P (x>60) = 0.0764

Question 2:

(a) P(x<3) = 0.0668

(b) P(x>7) = 0.0062

(c) P(3<x<7) = 0.927

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

x = no. of mg of porphyrin per deciliter of blood.

μ = 40

σ = 14

(a) We need to compute P(x<60). We need to find the z-score using the normal distribution formula:

z = (x - μ)/σ

P(x<60) = P((x - μ)/σ < (60 - 40)/14)

= P(z < 20/14)

= P(z<1.43)

Using the normal distribution probability table we can find the value of p at z=1.43.

P(z<1.43) = 0.9236

so, P(x<60) = 0.9236

(b) P(x>16) = P(z>(16-40)/14)

= P(z>-1.71)

= 1 - P(z<-1.71)

= 1 - 0.0436

P(x>16) = 0.9564

(c) P(16<x<60) = P((16-40)/14) < x < (60-40)/14)

= P(-1.71 < z < 1.43)

This probability can be calculated as: P(z<1.43) - P(z<-1.71)

P(16<x<60) = 0.9236 - 0.0436

P(16<x<60) = 0.88

(d) P(x>60) = 1 - P(x<60)

we have calculated P(x<60) in part (a) so,

P(x>60) = 1 - 0.9236

P (x>60) = 0.0764

Question 2:

μ = 4.5 mm

σ = 1.0 mm

In this question, we will again compute the z-scores and then find the probability from the normal distribution table.

(a) P(x<3) = P(z<(3-4.5)/1)

= P(z<-1.5)

P(x<3) = 0.0668

(b) P(x>7) = 1 - P(x<7)

= 1 - P(z<(7-4.5)/1)

= 1 - P(z<2.5)

= 1 - 0.9938

P(x>7) = 0.0062

(c) P(3<x<7) = P(x<7) - P(x<3)

we have computed both of these probabilities in parts (a) and (b) so,

P(3<x<7) = 0.9938 - 0.0668

P(3<x<7) = 0.927

3)A ball is kicked from a height of 2 feet off the ground, after 1 second the ball rea

MArishka [77]

Answer:

y = - 2x + (1/2 38) + 2 = y = -2x + 19x + 2 at any second and y = -2x^2 / 2 + 19/2 + 2/2 = - x^2 + 19/2 + 2 = - x (4) + 19/2(4) + 1 = -4+ 38 + 1 = 35 seconds

Step-by-step explanation: We see that 38-2ft = 36ft and y intercept = 2 and then -2x allows us to represent the starting point 2 as -2 (1) to allow a descend to our back to 0 for y one we find y intercept we know - x^2 is our simplified equation and an input into this to find the static and slowed descend back to 0 if you keep inputting at 5 and 6 you see the equation speed up Anyway at (4) substitute = 4 seconds we divide our simplified equation a = -x2 into a b c and divide each by 2 before working out the decline of the equation (as equation still represents all ascending and descending) for the 4th second as the height was already said to be at its max at 38 feet see equation in answer to find 4 as substitute for x

Which function is being graphed below?

Keith_Richards [23]

The absolute function will be f(x) = | x - 5 | - 4.

<h3 /><h3>What is an absolute function?</h3>

The absolute function is also known as the mode function. The value of the absolute function is always positive.

The absolute function is given as

f(x) = | x - h | + k

Where h,k is the vertex of the absolute function.

f(x) = | x - 5 | - 4

Therefore the absolute function will be f(x) = | x - 5 | - 4.

More about the absolute function link is given below.

State the excluded values for each? 70v^2/100v

sleet_krkn [62]

Ok so any number tat makes the denomenator 0 or makes the inside of a square root negative is restricted
we only have a denomenaor so
100v=0
v=0
therefor 0 is the excluded value since 0/0 doesn't make sense

You and your friend drive toward each other. The equation 50h=190−45h represents the number h of hours until you and your friend

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The answer is 2 hours later.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find how many hours you and your friend meet, you have to solve the equation to find h :

$50h = 190 - 45h$
