Answer:

f(3) = \frac{-26}{9}

f(2 + h) = \frac{- 11 - 12h - 12^2}{4 + 4h + h^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = \frac{1}{x^2} - 3

Required

Find f(3) and f(2 + h)

Solving f(3)

Substitute 3 for x in f(x) = \frac{1}{x^2} - 3

f(3) = \frac{1}{3^2} - 3

f(3) = \frac{1}{9} - 3

Take LCM

f(3) = \frac{1 - 27}{9}

f(3) = \frac{-26}{9}

Solving f(2 + h)

Substitute 2 + h for x in f(x) = \frac{1}{x^2} - 3

f(2 + h) = \frac{1}{(2 + h)^2} - 3

f(2 + h) = \frac{1}{(2 + h)(2 + h)} - 3

f(2 + h) = \frac{1}{4 + 2h + 2h + h^2} - 3

f(2 + h) = \frac{1}{4 + 4h + h^2} - 3

Take LCM

f(2 + h) = \frac{1- 3(4 + 4h + h^2)}{4 + 4h + h^2}

f(2 + h) = \frac{1- 12 - 12h - 12^2}{4 + 4h + h^2}

f(2 + h) = \frac{- 11 - 12h - 12^2}{4 + 4h + h^2}

Write the equation of the line with a slope of 17 and passing through the point (0, 0)
Mkey [24]
The equation for a line is y=mx+b. where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
The slope of 17 is provided. This means m=17. The point (0,0) tells you the y intercept is 0. This means b=0

Plugging these into the equation and simplifying:
y=17x+0

y=17x

Hope this helps :)

-3x^2+6x+1=4 find the discriminant of each quadratic equation then state the number and type solutions
ipn [44]

Answer:

S={( 1 )}

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x²+6x+1=4

-3x²+6x+1-4=0

-3x²+6x-3=0

∆=b²-4.a.c

∆=(6)²-4.(-3).(-3)

∆=36-36

∆=0

x'=x"=-b/2a=-(+6)/2.(-3)=-6/-6=1

Plz help me!!<br><br> Step by step to understand the answer plz
Doss [256]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

so the inverse takes us from the range to the domain... they tell us that  f(4) goes to 5.. so if we were to take the inverse  f\left \[-1} \atop(5)  it takes us back to 4... and the slope at 4 or the derivative was 2/3 so that's what we get for f\left \ {{-1} \atop '(5)  :)

Citrus farmer who grows mandarin oranges finds that the diameters of mandarin oranges harvested on his farm follow a normal dist
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

6.0520

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean = 5.85

Standard deviation = 0.24

Let N denote the 80th percentile.

P(X < N) = 0.8

P(Z < \dfrac{(N - 5.85)}{0.24}) = 0.8

Using the Excel formula: = NORM.INV(0.8,5.85,0.24)

The 80th percentile for the diameters of mandarin oranges:

= 6.0520 (to 4 decimal place)
