Answer:

1. Electron microscopy (EM) is a technique for obtaining high resolution images of biological and non-biological specimens. It is used in biomedical research to investigate the detailed structure of tissues, cells, organelles and macromolecular complexes. The high resolution of EM images results from the use of electrons (which have very short wavelengths) as the source of illuminating radiation. Electron microscopy is used in conjunction with a variety of ancillary techniques (e.g. thin sectioning, immuno-labeling, negative staining) to answer specific questions. EM images provide key information on the structural basis of cell function and of cell disease.

There are two main types of electron microscope – the transmission EM (TEM) and the scanning EM (SEM). The transmission electron microscope is used to view thin specimens (tissue sections, molecules, etc) through which electrons can pass generating a projection image. The TEM is analogous in many ways to the conventional (compound) light microscope. TEM is used, among other things, to image the interior of cells (in thin sections), the structure of protein molecules (contrasted by metal shadowing), the organization of molecules in viruses and cytoskeletal filaments (prepared by the negative staining technique), and the arrangement of protein molecules in cell membranes (by freeze-fracture).

Looking at an electron with an electron microscope. An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination.

Which statement describes the end behavior of the exponential function f(x) = 2x – 3?

charle [14.2K]

The <u>correct answer</u> is:

As x→-∞, y→-3.
As x→∞, y→∞.

Explanation:

As our values of x get further into the negative numbers, the value of 2ˣ will approach 0. This is because raising a number to a negative exponent "flips" the number below the denominator and raises it to a power; we end up with smaller and smaller fractions, eventually so small that they nearly equal 0.

This will make the value of the function 0-3=-3.

As x gets larger and larger (towards ∞), the value of y, 2ˣ, continues to grow as well. Since it continues to grow exponentially, we say the value approaches ∞.

Line n passes through points (7, 12) and (4, 15). What is the slope of a line that

vitfil [10]

So anytime we have a slope and want to find the slope of a perpendicular line, we just have to remember a perpendicular line's slope is the negative reciprocal (reciprocal means flip the fraction). So if we had a slope of 3/4, the slope perpendicular to it would be - 4/3.

First we need to find our slope, to do this we take the change in y over the change in x like so:

(15-12)/(4-7) = - 3/4

The slope perpendicular to this is 4/3.

We expect a car's highway gas mileage to be related to its city gas mileage (in miles per gallon, mpg). Data for all 1137 vehicl

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a) As we can see on the equation given the slope os 1.033 since is the value next to the city mpg (independent variable)

And on this case since the value for the slope is positive the best interpretation is:

E. On the average, highway mileage increases by 1.033 mpg for each additional mpg in city mileage

Because we see the if we increase on 1 unit the city mpg then the highway mpg would increase 1.033

b) For this case as we can see in the model the free term correspond to 6.785 and that correspond to the intercept for this case.

And the best interpretation is given by:

B. Because this is the highway mileage for zero city mpg.

For this reason is not meaningful since we are not interested on 0 or negative city mpg.

c) highway mpg = 6.785 + (1.033 × 18)=25.38 mpg

highway mpg = 6.785 + (1.033 × 25)=32.61 mpg

d) See the figure attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following linear model:

highway mpg = 6.785 + (1.033 × city mpg)

(a) What is the slope of this line? Say in words what the numerical value of the slope tells us.

As we can see on the equation given the slope os 1.033 since is the value next to the city mpg (independent variable)

And on this case since the value for the slope is positive the best interpretation is:

E. On the average, highway mileage increases by 1.033 mpg for each additional mpg in city mileage

Because we see the if we increase on 1 unit the city mpg then the highway mpg would increase 1.033

(b) What is the intercept? (Enter your answer to three decimal places.)mpgExplain why the value of the intercept is not statistically meaningful.

For this case as we can see in the model the free term correspond to 6.785 and that correspond to the intercept for this case.

And the best interpretation is given by:

B. Because this is the highway mileage for zero city mpg.

For this reason is not meaningful since we are not interested on 0 or negative city mpg.

(c) Find the predicted highway mileage for a car that gets 18 miles per gallon in the city. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)______ mpgFind the predicted highway mileage for a car that gets 25 miles per gallon in the city. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)______ mpg

For this case we just need to replace into the formula and we got:

highway mpg = 6.785 + (1.033 × 18)=25.38 mpg

highway mpg = 6.785 + (1.033 × 25)=32.61 mpg

(d) Draw a graph of the regression line for city mileages between 10 and 50 mpg. (Be sure to show the scales for the x and y axes.)
