A: 40

Let’s do this problem backwards.


TOTAL BOOKS RN: 36

1)
“Jill... then bought 16 more...”

36 - 16 = 20

After subtracting that amount, we would end up with half of the books Jill DID NOT sell.

2)
2 • 20 = 40

At this point, we multiplied amount of books she had after she sold half of her comic books by the reciprocal of 1/2

And now you have your answer!

Select the correct answer. Function f is an exponential function that has an initial value of 64 and decreases by 50% as x incre
lozanna [386]

Answer:

  D. Both functions are decreasing at the same average rate on that interval

Step-by-step explanation:

The dashed lines on the attached graph of the two functions (f in red, g in purple) represent the average rate of change of each function on the interval. The lines are parallel, because the average rate of change is the same for each of the functions on that interval.

__

Function f decreases by 60 units from f(0) = 64 to f(4) = 4 on the interval x = [0, 4]. Function g decreases by 60 units from g(0) = 75 to g(4) = 15 on the same interval. The average rate of change is the amount of decrease divided by the interval width. Those values are the same for both functions.

Consider the following.f(x)=74 – x2Find the x-values at which f is not continuous. Which of the discontinuities are removable?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer

given,

f(x) = 74 - x²

A function is continuous when it is differential at all the points.

f'(x) =\dfrac{d}{dx}(74-x^2)

f'(x) =- 2 x

so, the given function is continuous for all the value of x.

We should know that if a function is quadratic then it is differential at all the point.  And if it is differential then it is definitely continuous.

Hence, there is no discontinuous point present in the equation.

Here are some (simulated) data on the maximum age distribution in rabbits:
bogdanovich [222]

Let Y denote the maximum age of rabbit.

To calculate probability for Y=a from given table, we need to divide frequency corresponding to y=a with sum of frequencies.

For example P(Y=0) = \frac{37}{37+232+429+388+225+99+58+10+6+0} =\frac{37}{1484} = 0.02493

Like that P(y=1) = 0.1563, P(Y=2) = 0.2891, P(y=3) = 0.2615, P(Y=4) = 0.1516,

P(Y=5) = 0.0667, P(Y=6) = 0.0391,P(Y=7) = 0.0067, P(Y=8)=0.004 and P(Y=9) =0.

a) P(Y>5) = P(Y=6)+P(Y=7)+P(Y=8)+P(Y=9)

              = 0.0391+0.0067+0.004+0 = 0.0498

b) P(2<Y<6) = 0.2615+0.1516+0.0667 = 0.4798

c) P(Y≥3) = 0.2615+0.1516+0.0667+0.0391+0.0067+0.004+0= 0.5296

d)P(Y<6) = 0.02493+0.1563+0.2891+0.2615+0.1516+0.0667 =0.95013

e)If we add (a) and (d), we will get 0.0498+0.95013 = 0.99993≈1

Not surprised,since this is nothing but addition of probabilities for all Y values.

That's we got 1 since numerator and denominator are same.
