$Hello$ $There!$

The answer is...

$a =-\frac{5}{12}$

HERE'S A EXPLAINANTION!

Add $\frac{1}{5}$ both sides...

$-\frac{1}{5} -\frac{4}{5}a+\frac{1}{5} =\frac{2}{15} +\frac{1}{5}$

Simplify:

$-\frac{4}{5}a=\frac{1}{3}$

Multiply 5 by both sides

$5(-\frac{4}{5}a=\frac{1 . 5}{3} )$

Simplify again:

$-4a=\frac{5}{3}$

Divide -4 by both sides:

$\frac{-4a}{-4}=\frac{5/3}{4}$

Simplify again..:

$a =-\frac{5}{12}$

Hopefully, this helps you!!

The average value of the function y = x² – 1 on [0, 12] is

shusha [124]

Answer:

47.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the rule:

$f_{avr}=\frac{1}{b-a} \int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx ,$

where a;b are 0 and 12, f(x)=x²-1.

2) according to the rule above:

$f_{avr}=\frac{1}{12-0} \int\limits^{12}_0 {(x^2-1)} \, dx=\frac{1}{12}(\frac{x^3}{3}-x)|^{12}_0=48-1=47.$

sasho [114]

Answer:

Note: The full question is attached as picture below

1. The manufacturer is taking a sample of her friends, which is most convenient to sample - Convenience sampling

2. The whole population is divided into different groups (strata) and random samples are drawn from each group - Stratified sampling

3. The population is divided into different clusters (here, communities) and whole clusters are surveyed - Cluster sampling

4. The samples are drawn at a fixed interval from the population list - Systematic sampling

5. The samples are randomly drawn from the population - Simple random sampling

PLEASE HELP!! Which equation matches the table of values?

RoseWind [281]

The equation that represents the table of values is $y=(\frac{1}{4})^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the equation that matches the table of values.

x y

0 | 1

1 | 1/4

2 | 1/16

3 | 1/64

So, when x =0 y=1 and when x=1, y=1/4

if $y=(\frac{1}{4})^x$

then putting x=0 we get y=1

x=1, we get y=1/4

x=2, we get y=1/16

x=3, we get y=1/64

So, the equation that represents the table of values is $y=(\frac{1}{4})^x$

Kindly check your options, as option D should be $y=(\frac{1}{4})^x$
