A proportional relationship is also a direct variation.
The general equation of direct cvariation is

y = kx,

where k is a number.

In your case, if k = -1, then y = kx becomes y = (-1)x which is the same as

y = -x

krok68 [10]

Answer:

The probability that at least 5 people attend the meeting given that at least 2 attend is 12.50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

A meeting on an unpopular topic has been announced. The number of attendees may be modeled by X where:

P(X = x) = 1 / 2^(x+1), for x = 0,1,2,...

What is the probability that at least 5 people attend the meeting given that at least 2 attend?

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

Given:

P(X = x) = 1 / 2^(x+1), for x = 0,1,2,...                    (1)

Since it is given that at least 2 attend, it implies that we need to calculate P(x) at x = 2.

Substituting x = 2 into equation (1), we have:

P(X = 2) = 1 / 2^(2 + 1)

P(X = 2) = 1 / 2^3

P(X = 2) = 1 / 8

P(X = 2) = 0.1250, or 12.50%

Therefore, is the probability that at least 5 people attend the meeting given that at least 2 attend is 12.50%.

Find the intervals on which​ f(x) is​ increasing, the intervals on which​ f(x) is​ decreasing, and the local extrema. f (x )equa
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

f(x) is increasing in the intervals (-∞,-4) and (9,∞)

f(x) is decreasing in the ingercal (-4,9)

The local extrema is:

local max at (-4,496)

and local min at (9,-1701)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must start by finding the derivative of the provided function, which we can find by using the power rule.

if f(x)=ax^{n} then f'(x)=anx^{n-1}

so we get:

f(x)=2x^{3}-15x^{2}-216x

f'(x)=6x^{2}-30x-216

in order to find the critical points we mus set the derivative equal to zero, since the local max an min will happen when the slope of the tangent line to the given point is zero, so we get:

6x^{2}-30x-216=0

we can solve this by factoring, so let's factor that equation:

6(x+4)(x-9)=0

we can now set each of the factors equal to zero so we get:

x+4=0 and x-9=0

when solving each for x we get that:

x=-4 and x=9

These are our critical points, now we can build the possible intervals we are going to use to determine where the function will be increasing and where it will be decreasing:

(-∞,-4), (-4,9) and (9,∞)

so now we need to test these intervals in the derivative to see if the graph will be increasing or decreasing in the given intervals. So let's pick x=-5 for the first one, x=0 for the second one and x=10 for the third one.

When evaluating them into the first derivative we get that:

f'(-5)=84, this is a positive answer so it means that the function is increasing in the interval (-∞,--4)

f'(0)=-216, this is a negative anser so it means that the function is decreasing in the interval (-4,9)

f'(10)=84, this is a positive answer so it means that the function is increasing in the interval (9,∞)

Now, for the local extrema, we can see that at x=-4, the function it's increasing on the left of this point while it's decreasing to the right, which means that there will be a local maximum at x=-4, so the local max is the point (-4,496)

We can see that at x=9, the function it's decreasing on the left of this point while it's increasing to the right, which means that there will be a local minimum at x=-9, so the local min is the point (9,-1701)

Line segment CD is shown on a coordinate grid:
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

im pretty sure the answer would be C'D' and CD would be equal in length!

Step-by-step explanation:

because you are only reflecting it across the y-axis, no changes will be made to the line itself, only the location of the line :)

How do you do this and what ya the correct answer? Simple and concise explanation please!
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

You are right as rain. You go to the x axis.

Find x = 3.5

f(3.5) is the y value of x = 3.5

f(3.5) = 2

It might help you a bit if you wrote it as a point (3.5,2)
