You want to predict which candidate will likely be voted Seventh Grade Class President. There are 560 students in the seventh-gr

ade class. You randomly sample 3 different groups of 50 seventh-grade students. The results are shown.
Candidate Preference
Candidate A Candidate B
Sample 1 -27 23
Sample 2 -22 28
Sample 3 -15 35

Use each sample to make an estimate for the number of students in seventh grade that vote for Candidate A. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Sample 1: about ____ students

Sample 2: about ___ students

Sample 3: about ___ students

b. Who do you expect to be voted Seventh Grade Class President?
A. Candidate A
B. Candidate B

Explain.

The table shows a linear function. <br>which equation represents the function?

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The equation $f(x)= -\frac{1}{2}x +4$ represents the function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using slope intercept form to find the equation of line :

For any two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ the equation of line is given by:

$y -y _1 = m(x-x_1)$ ......[1] ;where m is the slope given by:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Consider any two points from table :

let (4, 2) and (0, 4) be any two points.

calculate slope:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \frac{4-2}{0-4}$

$m = \frac{2}{-4} = -\frac{1}{2}$

Now, substitute in equation [1] we have:

$y - 2 = -\frac{1}{2} (x-4)$

Distributive property i.e, $a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b + a\cdot c$

$y -2 = -\frac{1}{2}x +2$

Add both sides 2 we get;

$y -2+2 = -\frac{1}{2}x+2+2$

Simplify:

$y = -\frac{1}{2}x+4$

Since, y= f(x)

$f(x)= -\frac{1}{2}x +4$

therefore, the equation $f(x)= -\frac{1}{2}x +4$ represents the function.

A(x) = 1000(1+.17)x

because the 17 percent would have to be changed to a decimal form

Use the fundamental theorem of calculus to find the area of the region between the graph of the function x^5 + 8x^4 + 2x^2 + 5x

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The area of the region is 25,351 $units^2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus:<em> if </em> $f$ <em> is a continuous function on </em> $[a,b]$ <em>, then</em>

$\int_{a}^{b} f(x)dx = F(b) - F(a) = F(x) | {_a^b}$

where $F$ is an antiderivative of $f$ .

A function $F$ is an antiderivative of the function $f$ if

$F^{'}(x)=f(x)$

The theorem relates differential and integral calculus, and tells us how we can find the area under a curve using antidifferentiation.

To find the area of the region between the graph of the function $x^5 + 8x^4 + 2x^2 + 5x + 15$ and the x-axis on the interval [-6, 6] you must:

Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

$\int _{-6}^6(x^5+8x^4+2x^2+5x+15)dx$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum\:Rule}:\quad \int f\left(x\right)\pm g\left(x\right)dx=\int f\left(x\right)dx\pm \int g\left(x\right)dx\\\\\int _{-6}^6x^5dx+\int _{-6}^68x^4dx+\int _{-6}^62x^2dx+\int _{-6}^65xdx+\int _{-6}^615dx$

$\int _{-6}^6x^5dx=0\\\\\int _{-6}^68x^4dx=\frac{124416}{5}\\\\\int _{-6}^62x^2dx=288\\\\\int _{-6}^65xdx=0\\\\\int _{-6}^615dx=180\\\\0+\frac{124416}{5}+288+0+18\\\\\frac{126756}{5}\approx 25351.2$
