Answer:

It should be a graph of two branches, one on the top right, and bottom left, and the center of them should be at (-2, 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=(x^2-16)/(x^2-2x-8)

= (x+4)(x-4)/(x-4)(x+2)

=(x+4)/(x+2)

=((x+2)+2)/(x+2)

=1+2/(x+2)

So the center is at (-2, 1)

Find the equation of the locus of a point that moves so that its distance from the line 12x-5y-1=0 is always 1 unit.

leonid [27]

Answer-

The equations of the locus of a point that moves so that its distance from the line 12x-5y-1=0 is always 1 unit are

$12x-5y+14=0 \\ 12x-5y-14=0$

Solution-

Let a point which is 1 unit away from the line 12x-5y-1=0 is (h, k)

The applying the distance formula,

$\Rightarrow \left | \frac{12h-5k-1}{\sqrt{12^2+5^2}} \right |=1$

$\Rightarrow \left | \frac{12h-5k-1}{\sqrt{169}} \right |=1$

$\Rightarrow \left | \frac{12h-5k-1}{13} \right |=1$

$\Rightarrow 12h-5k-1=\pm 13$

$\Rightarrow 12h-5k=\pm 14$

$\Rightarrow 12h-5k=14,\ 12h-5k=-14$

$\Rightarrow 12h-5k-14=0,\ 12h-5k+14=0$

$\Rightarrow 12x-5y-14=0,\ 12x-5y+14=0$

Two equations are formed because one will be upper from the the given line and other will be below it.

According to the College Board website, the scores on the math part of the SAT (SAT-M) in a recent year had a mean of 507 and st

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

The actual SAT-M score marking the 98th percentile is 735.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 507, \sigma = 111$
