Answer:

26 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote a normal random variable with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma. (That is: X \sim {\rm N}(\mu,\, \sigma).) By definition, the z-score of an observation with value X = x would be:

\begin{aligned} z&= \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}\end{aligned}.

In this question, the value of \sigma is given. Also given are the value of the observation x and the corresponding z-score, z\!. Rearrange the \! z-score definition z = (x - \mu) / \sigma to find an expression for \mu:

\begin{aligned} x - \mu = \sigma\, z\end{aligned}.

-\mu = (-x) + \sigma\, z.

\begin{aligned}\mu = x - \sigma\, z\end{aligned}.

Substitute in the value of x, \sigma, and z to find the value of \mu, the mean of this normal random variable:

\begin{aligned}\mu &= x - \sigma\, z \\ &= 10 - (-16) \\ &= 26\end{aligned}.

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

We can work backwards using the z-score formula to find the mean. The problem gives us the values for z, x and σ. So, let's substitute these numbers back into the formula:

z−4−16−2626=x−μσ=10−μ4=10−μ=−μ=μ

We can think of this conceptually as well. We know that the z-score is −4, which tells us that x=10 is four standard deviations to the left of the mean, and each standard deviation is 4. So four standard deviations is (−4)(4)=−16 points. So, now we know that 10 is 16 units to the left of the mean. (In other words, the mean is 16 units to the right of x=10.) So the mean is 10+16=26.

Draw the graph for f(x)=x-1/x^2-x-6 and state:a. the x-intercept(s).b. the y-intercept.c. the equation(s) of any vertical asympt
Zigmanuir [339]

ANSWER:

a. (1, 0)

b. (0, 1/6)

c. x = -2. x = 3

d. y = 0

e. The asymptotes have the form of a line and divide the function into 3 parts.

f.

\begin{equation*} \text{Domain: }\left(-\infty\:,\:-2\right)\cup\left(-2,\:3\right)\cup\left(3,\:\infty\:\right) \end{equation*}

g.

\text{Range}(-\infty,\infty)

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have the following function:

f\left(x\right)=\frac{x-1}{x^2-x-6}

The graph corresponding to the function is the following:

We determine in each case what the statement asks for, like this:

a. the x-intercept(s):

\begin{gathered} \text{ in this case y = 0, therefore:} \\  \\ \frac{x-1}{x^2-x-6}=0 \\  \\ x-1=0\cdot(x^2-x-6) \\  \\ x=1 \\  \\ \text{The x-intercept is \lparen1, 0\rparen} \end{gathered}

b. the y-intercept:

\begin{gathered} \text{ in this case x = 0, therefore } \\  \\ y=\frac{0-1}{0^2-0-6} \\  \\ y=\frac{-1}{-6} \\  \\ y=\frac{1}{6} \\  \\ \text{ The y-intercept is }\:\left(0,\frac{1}{6}\right) \end{gathered}

c. the equation(s) of any vertical asymptote(s). The horizontal asymptotes are the values that x cannot take since the function would be discontinuous for those values.

In this case, since it is a rational function, it would be when the denominator is 0, therefore, we solve the following:

\begin{gathered} x^2-x-6=0 \\  \\ (x-3)(x+2)=0 \\  \\ x-3=0\rightarrow x=3 \\  \\ x+2=0\operatorname{\rightarrow}x=-2 \\  \\ \text{ The equation\lparen s\rparen of any vertical asymptote are:} \\  \\ x=3,x=-2 \end{gathered}

d. the equation of the horizontal asymptote. If the degree of the denominator is greater than that of the numerator, the horizontal asymptote is the x-axis, that is:

y=0

e. information about the behavior at the asymptote(s).

In this case the behavior of the asymptotes are straight lines that represent values that the function cannot take or cannot reach, divide the function into 3 parts.

f and g.

In this case, the domain is the interval of values that x can take and the range is the interval of values that y can take.

Therefore:

\begin{gathered} \text{Domain: }\left(-\infty\:,\:-2\right)\cup\left(-2,\:3\right)\cup\left(3,\:\infty\:\right) \\  \\ \text{Range:}\:\left(-\infty\:,\:\infty\:\right) \end{gathered}
