Answer:

Explanation:

in each of the following substitute x with the variables in the bracket.

f(a) = 5x - 6

= 5a - 6

f(a+h) = 5 (a + h) - 6

= 5a + 5h - 6

f(a+h) - f(a) = (5a + 5h - 6) - (5a - 6)

= 5a + 5h - 6 - 5a + 6

= 5h

(as the 5a's and 6's cancel each other out.)

f(a+h) - f(a)/h = 5a + 5h - 6 - ((5a - 6)÷h)

take l.c.m

= (5ah + 5h^2 - 6h - 5a + 6)

Rounding decimals 324,650

Cloud [144]

It depends how many decimal points you are moving. If it's 1 decimal point then the point would move to the right and the answer would be 3246.50if it was two decimal places then it moves two to the right and the answer would 32465.0. But you don't need to put the .0 at the end so it will be 32465

I need help with dividing fractions

iVinArrow [24]

When you divide fractions, you want to use keep change flip.

You keep the 1st fraction, change the division sign into a multiplication sign, then flip the last fraction.

Let’s use 3/4 ÷ 2/3

Keep 3/4 the same, change the division sign into a multiplication sign, and flip 2/3 so that it is 3/2

It’ll look like this

3/4 x 3/2

Now just multiply the numerators, 2 x 3, then multiply the demoninators, 4 x 2.

You get 6/8

Simplify this number and you get 3/4.

If you have any further questions feel free to ask.

Hope this helps.

The mean finish time for a yearly amateur auto race was 186.94 minutes with a standard deviation of 0.372 minute. The winning ca

Fed [463]

Answer:

Sam had a finish time with a z-score of -2.93.

Karen had a finish time with a z-score -1.91.

Sam had the more convincing victory.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Sam:

The mean finish time for a yearly amateur auto race was 186.94 minutes with a standard deviation of 0.372 minute. The winning car, driven by Sam, finished in 185.85 minutes.

So $\mu = 186.94, \mu = 0.372, X = 185.85$

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{185.85 - 186.94}{0.372}$

$Z = -2.93$

Sam finishing time was 2.93 standard deviations below the mean.

Sam had a finish time with a z-score of -2.93.

Karen:

The previous year's race had a mean finishing time of 110.7 with a standard deviation of 0.115 minute. The winning car that year, driven by Karen, finished in 110.48 minutes.

So $\mu = 110.7, \sigma = 0.115, X = 110.48$

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{110.48 - 110.7}{0.115}$

$Z = -1.91$

Karen finishing time was 1.91 standard deviations below the mean.

Karen had a finish time with a z-score -1.91.

Who had the more convincing victory?

Sam finishing time was 2.93 standard deviations below the mean.

Karen finishing time was 1.91 standard deviations below the mean.

Sam finished more standard deviations below the mean than Karen, that is, he was faster relative to his competition than Karen.

So Sam had the more convincing victory.
