Ragnar's bathroom has 148 tiles in it. He found that his kitchen has 7 times as many tiles as his bathroom.

Determine the present value P you must invest to have the future value A at simple intrest rate r after time t. A=$14,000, r=9.5

Ivan

Answer:

$10,144.93

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount formula; A = (Principal* rate* time) +Principal

A= (P*r*t) +P

A= 14,000

r= 9.5% OR 0.095 as a decimal

t= 4

Plug the numbers into the formula;

14,000 = (P* 0.095 *4 ) +P

14,000 = 0.38P +P

14,000 = 1.38P

Divide both sides by 1.38 to solve for P;

14,000/1.38 = P

P= 10,144.9275

Therefore, the present value (Principal) = $10,144.93

Write the equation of the line that passes through (-4,3) and is parallel to y = -2x - 8.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

y = -2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation if the line be y = mx + c

since the line is parallel to y = -2x - 8, their gradients/slope must be the same (aka m = -2)

sub (-4, 3):

3 = -2(-4) + c

c = -5

therefore, the equation of the line is y = -2x - 5

This is a question on coordinate geometry. If you wish to venture further into it/understand this topic better, you may want to follow my Instagram account (learntionary), where I post some of my own notes on certain topics and also some tips that may be useful to you :)

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Domain: All the real values except x = 2 and x = 4: R - {2, 4}
Holes: x = 2
VA, vertical asymptores: x = 4
HA: horizontal asymptotes: there are not horizontal asymptotes
OA: oblique asymptotes: x + 6 [note that OH does not stand for any known feature, and so it is understood that it was intended to write OA]
Roots: x = 2
Y-intercept: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Given:

$f(x)=\frac{x^3-8}{x^2-6x+8}$

Note that the number 8 in the numerator is not part of the power.

Type of function: rational function

2. Domain: is the set of x-values for which the function is defined.

The given function is defined for all x except those for which the denominator equals 0.

Denominator: x² -6x + 8 = 0

Solve for x:

Factor. (x - 4 )(x - 2) = 0

Zero product property: (x - 4) = 0 or (x - 2) = 0

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

Domain:

All the real values except x = 2 and x = 4: x ∈ R / x ≠ 2 and x ≠ 4.

3. Holes:

The holes on the graph of a rational function are at those x-values for which both the numerator and denominator are zero.

Find the values for which the numerator is zero:

Numerator: x³ - 8 = 0

Factor using difference of cubes property:

a³ - b³ = (a - b)(a² + ab + b²)

x³ - 8 = (x - 2)(x² + 2x + 4) = 0

Zero product property: (x - 2)(x² + 2x + 4) = 0

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

x² + 2x + 4 = 0 (this has not real solution)

The values for which the denominator is zero were determined above: x = 2 and x = 4.

Conclusion: for x = 2 both numerator and denominator equal 0, so this is a hole.

4. VA: Vertical asymptotes.

The vertical asymptotes on the graph of a rational function are the vertical lines for which only the denominator (and not the numerator) equals zero.

In the previous part it was determined that happens when x = 4.

5. HA: Horizontal asymptotes.

In rational functions, if the numerator is a higher degree polynomial than the denominator, there is no horizontal asymptote.

6. OA: oblique asymptotes

Find the quotient and the remainder.

x + 6

_______________

x² - 6x + 8 ) x³ + 0x² + 0x - 8

- x³ + 6x² - 8x

___________

6 x² - 8x - 8

- 6x² + 36x - 48

_____________

28x - 56

Result: (x + 6) + (28x - 56) / (x² - 6x + 8)

Find limit x → ∞

$\lim_{x \to \infty}(x + 6) + \frac{28x-56}{x^2-6x+8}=x+6$

7. Roots:

Roots are the values for which f(x) = 0.

That happens when the numerator equals 0, and the denominator is not 0.

As determined earlier: x³ - 8 = 0 ⇒ x = 2.

8. Y-Intercept

The y-intercepts of any function are the y-values when x = 0

Substitute x = 0 into the function:

$f(x)=\frac{x^3-8}{x^2-6x+8}=\frac{0^3-8}{0^2-6(0)+8}}=\frac{-8}{8} =-1$

2. To estimate the mean age for a population of 4000 employees, a simple random sample of 40 employees is selected. a. Would you

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Size of the population, N = 4000

Size of the sample, n = 40

n/N = 40/4000 = 0.01

0.01 is less than 0.05 and hence we would not us the finite population correction factor in calculating the standard error of the mean.

b.

Population standard deviation is σ = 8.2

So, the standard error of x’ using the finite population correction factor is give by

σ(x’) = √[(N - n)/(N - 1)] x (sigma/√n)

σ(x’) = √[(4000 - 40)/(4000 - 1)] x (8.2/√40)

σ(x’) = 1.29

Standard error of x’ without using the finite population correction factor is

σ(x’) = σ/√n

σ(x’) = 8.2/√40 = 1.2965

There is little difference between the two values of the standard error. So we can ignore the population correction factor.

c.

Let the population mean be μ

Probability that the sample mean will be within =-2 of the population mean is

P(μ– 2 < x’ < μ + 2)

At x’ = μ – 2 , we have

z = (μ – 2 – μ)/1.2965

z = -1.54

at x’ = μ + 2, we have

z = (μ + 2 – μ)/1.2965

z = 1.54

So the required probability is

P(μ – 2 < x’ < μ + 2) = p(-1.54< z < 1.54)

P(μ – 2 < x’ < μ + 2) = p(z < 1.54) – p(z < -1.54)

P(μ – 2 < x’ < μ + 2) = 0.9382 – 0.0618

P(μ – 2 < x’ < μ + 2) = 0.8764
