Find the value of w (u(2))

Mathematics
1 answer:
katrin [286]2 years ago

<h3>Answer:  17</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

We'll start things off by computing the inner function u(2)

Plug x = 2 into the u(x) function

u(x) = -x-1

u(2) = -2-1

u(2) = -3

This tells us that w(u(2)) is the same as w(-3). I replaced u(2) with -3.

We'll plug x = -3 into the w(x) function

w(x) = 2x^2-1

w(-3) = 2(-3)^2 - 1

w(-3) = 2(9) - 1

w(-3) = 18-1

w(-3) = 17

Therefore, w(u(2)) = 17

------------------------

Here's a slightly different approach:

Let's find what w(u(x)) is in general

w(x) = 2x^2 - 1

w(u(x)) = 2(u(x))^2 - 1

w(u(x)) = 2(-x-1)^2 - 1

Then we can plug in x = 2

w(u(x)) = 2(-x-1)^2 - 1

w(u(2)) = 2(-2-1)^2 - 1

w(u(2)) = 2(-3)^2 - 1

w(u(2)) = 2(9) - 1

w(u(2)) = 18 - 1

w(u(2)) = 17

How does a large outlier affect the data set?
tresset_1 [31]
A large outlier could affect the data set because it could make the mean larger, which just means that the average number of the set would be a lot bigger than it already is.

An example would be: 1, 3, 5, 19

19 is obviously the large outlier, so to find the mean, we would add everything together then divide by 4.

The mean would be 28/4=7 So 7 is our mean, but if the large outlier were, let's say 50, then the mean would be way larger than it already is.

~Hope this helped!~

Exponential model is y=Ae^(kt)
Assume initial start is 2005, time = 0, so y = 18000e^(kt)
45000 = 18000*e^(k5)
solve for k, approx 0.1832
y = 18000*e^(1.832) = 112,435, approximately
