[tex]\boxed{\sf Option \ 3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

When x is -2, F(x) is undefined.

When x is -1, F(x) is -3.

If we see the third option,

[tex]F(x)=\sqrt{x+1} -3[/tex]

When x is -2, we get the square root of -1, which is undefined.

When x is -1, we get the square root of 0, which is just 0, 0-3 is -3.

8. At a target shooting stall in a fair, for every chance a person got he was paid ₹ 15 if he hit the target, and would have to pay ₹ 5 to the stall keeper for every shot he missed. How much money did Manish make if he shots a total of 25 times and missed 5 times.
DOSTO PLEASE SOLVE IT ISKA ANSWER AANA CHAHIYE ₹ 275. STATEMENT BHI LIKH NI H.​

Answers

Answer:

Since Manish hit the target 25 - 5 = 20 times, he earned 15 * 20 = ₹ 300. Since he missed 5 times, he lost 5 * 5 = ₹ 25, therefore, he only earned 300 - 25 = ₹ 275.

Answer:

Manish hit the target=25-5=20times

He he earned=15×20=₹300

Since he missed 5 times he lost 5×5=₹25

Therefore,he only earned 300-25=₹275

what percentage of the population has a heart rate between 68 and 77

Answers

Answer:

49.87% of the population has a heart rate between 68 and 77.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean of the data for the resting heart of adults is 68 beats per minute and the standard deviation is 3 beats per minute.

Let X = the data for the resting heart of adults

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                          Z  =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean = 68 beats per minute

           [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 3 beats per minute

Now, the percentage of the population that has a heart rate between 68 and 77 is given by = P(68 < X < 77)

    P(68 < X < 77) = P(X < 77) - P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 68)

    P(X < 77) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{77-68}{3}[/tex] ) = P(Z < 3) = 0.9987

    P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 68) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{68-68}{3}[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 0) = 0.50

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 3 and x = 0 in the z table which has an area of 0.9987 and 0.50 respectively.

Therefore, P(68 < X < 77) = 0.9987 - 0.50 = 0.4987 or 49.87%

Answer:

2<F(x)<5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can guess that it come between 2 and 5 given the pattern that we see in the table, but there’s no reason we can’t solve it to be sure.

F(x)=3 (Times the square root of 1.5-1)+2

3(square root of .5)+2

3(0.7)+2

2.12+2

4.12

So, yes, it is between 2 and 5

Rectangle divided into four rectangles. The perimeters of rectangle #1, #2, #3 #4 are 10 cm, 20 cm, 28 cm and 18 cm respectively. Find the perimeter of big rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

The perimeter of the big rectangle is 38 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle 1 and rectangle 2 share the same width, let their width be a cm while Rectangle 3 and rectangle 4 share the same width, let their width be b cm

Rectangle 1 and rectangle 3 share the same length, let their length be x cm while Rectangle 2 and rectangle 4 share the same length, let their length be y cm

The perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + breadth).

For rectangle 1:

Perimeter = 2(a + x) = 10

a + x = 5            1)

For rectangle 2:

Perimeter = 2(a + y) = 20

a + y = 10          2)

For rectangle 3:

Perimeter = 2(b + x) = 28

b + x = 14         3)

For rectangle 4:

Perimeter = 2(b + y) = 18

b + y = 9         4)

Adding equations 1, 2, 3 and 4 gives:

a + x + a + y + b + x + b + y = 5 + 10 + 14 + 9

a + a + b + b + x + x + y + y  =38

2a + 2b + 2x + 2y = 38

2((a + b) + (x + y)) = 38

For the big rectangle, let its width = c = a + b and its length be d = x + y

The perimeter of the big rectangle = 2 (c + d)

Therefore:

2((a + b) + (x + y)) = 38

2(c + d) = 38 cm = The perimeter of the big rectangle

The perimeter of the big rectangle is 38 cm

Answers

Answer:

(5,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

ONE WAY:

If [tex]f(x)=x^2-6x+3[/tex], then [tex]f(x-2)=(x-2)^2-6(x-2)+3[/tex].

Let's simplify that.

Distribute with [tex]-6(x-2)[/tex]:

[tex]f(x-2)=(x-2)^2-6x+12+3[/tex]

Combine the end like terms [tex]12+3[/tex]:

[tex]f(x-2)=(x-2)^2-6x+15[/tex]

Use [tex](x-b)^2=x^2-2bx+b^2[/tex] identity for [tex](x-2)^2[/tex]:

[tex]f(x-2)=x^2-4x+4-6x+15[/tex]

Combine like terms [tex]-4x-6x[/tex] and [tex]4+15[/tex]:

[tex]f(x-2)=x^2-10x+19[/tex]

We are given [tex]g(x)=f(x-2)[/tex].

So we have that [tex]g(x)=x^2-10x+19[/tex].

The vertex happens at [tex]x=\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex].

Compare [tex]x^2-10x+19[/tex] to [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] to determine [tex]a,b,\text{ and } c[/tex].

[tex]a=1[/tex]

[tex]b=-10[/tex]

[tex]c=19[/tex]

Let's plug it in.

[tex]\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-(-10)}{2(1)}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{10}{2}[/tex]

[tex]5[/tex]

So the [tex]x-[/tex] coordinate is 5.

Let's find the corresponding [tex]y-[/tex] coordinate by evaluating our expression named [tex]g[/tex] at [tex]x=5[/tex]:

[tex]5^2-10(5)+19[/tex]

[tex]25-50+19[/tex]

[tex]-25+19[/tex]

[tex]-6[/tex]

So the ordered pair of the vertex is (5,-6).

ANOTHER WAY:

The vertex form of a quadratic is [tex]a(x-h)^2+k[/tex] where the vertex is [tex](h,k)[/tex].

Let's put [tex]f[/tex] into this form.

We are given [tex]f(x)=x^2-6x+3[/tex].

We will need to complete the square.

I like to use the identity [tex]x^2+kx+(\frac{k}{2})^2=(x+\frac{k}{2})^2[/tex].

So If you add something in, you will have to take it out (and vice versa).

[tex]x^2-6x+3[/tex]

[tex]x^2-6x+(\frac{6}{2})^2+3-(\frac{6}{2})^2[/tex]

[tex](x+\frac{-6}{2})^2+3-3^2[/tex]

[tex](x+-3)^2+3-9[/tex]

[tex](x-3)^2+-6[/tex]

So we have in vertex form [tex]f[/tex] is:

[tex]f(x)=(x-3)^2+-6[/tex].

The vertex is (3,-6).

So if we are dealing with the function [tex]g(x)=f(x-2)[/tex].

This means we are going to move the vertex of [tex]f[/tex] right 2 units to figure out the vertex of [tex]g[/tex] which puts us at (3+2,-6)=(5,-6).

The [tex]y-[/tex] coordinate was not effected here because we were only moving horizontally not up/down.

Answers

Answer:

106°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the points B, C and D are colinear, it means that

2x + 40 = 5x + 10

collecting like terms

40 - 10 = 5x - 2x

3x = 30

x = 10

Hence the angle ∠E

= 5(10) + 10

= 60°

∠BCE = X + 4

= 10 + 4

= 14°

Given that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°

∠D + 14 + 60 = 180

∠D = 180 - 74

= 106°

Frank the lumberjack has a log that is 291 centimetres long. He cuts it into three pieces. Work out the length of the third piece if the first two pieces are 67cm and 181cm long.

Answers

Answer:

43cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of Log = 291cm

First Piece = 67cm

Second Piece = 181cm

Required

Determine the length of the third piece

Given that the log was cut into three;

this implies that;

Length of Log = First Piece + Second Piece + Third Piece

Substitute values for first piece, second piece and length of log;

[tex]291 = 67 + 181 + Third\ Piece[/tex]

[tex]291 = 248 + Third\ Piece[/tex]

Subtract both sides by 248

[tex]291 - 248 = 248 - 248 + Third\ Piece[/tex]

[tex]43 = Third\ Piece[/tex]

[tex]Third\ Piece = 43[/tex]

Hence, the length of the third piece is 43cm

Write the equation of a function whose parent function, f(x) = x + 8, is shifted 2 units to the right.

Answers

y=f(x-2)+8

This has to do with function transformations. First we can set it up differently, where we are solving for y instead of f(x)
y=f(x)+8
The points of the graph are (x, f(x)+8)
To move the graph to the right, we need to subtract by 2 within the parentheses
y=f(x-2)+8
Now the point would be like (x, f(x-2)+8)

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{f(x - 2) = x + 6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) + n - shift the graph n units up

f(x) - n - shift the graph n units down

f(x + n) - shift the graph n units to the left

f(x - n) - shift the graph n units to the right

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

f(x) = x + 8

shift the graph 2 units to the right

f(x - 2) = (x - 2) + 8 = x - 2 + 8 = x + 6

A cylinder has a volume of 390cm^3 If a cone has the same dimensions as the cylinder, what is it's volume?

Answers

Answer:

Volume of cone = 130 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of cylinder = 390 cm³

dimensions of cylinder = dimensions of cone

Find:

Volume of cone

Computation:

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

390 = πr²h

124.090909 = r²h

So,

Volume of cone = (1/3)πr²h

Volume of cone = (1/3)(22/7)r²h...........[124.090909 = r²h]

Volume of cone = (1/3)(22/7)(124.090909)

Volume of cone = 130 cm³

Hope it helps <3

Answer:

well technically, there are two coefficients

the coefficient of (b^2) is 1 and the coefficient of b (itself) is -5.

But if you sre just looking for the coefficient ot just plain b, it is -5

Step-by-step explanation:

the reason I say the coefficient to (b^2) is 1 because if there is no number in front of the variable, it is automatcally assumed to be 1.

now, as for just plain b, it is -5 because the sign, positive or negative, before a number coefficient gets attached to that number.  so, the entire term is -5b, which makes the coefficient to just plain b to be -5

​Claim: Most adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could. A software firm survey of randomly selected 583 adults showed that 58 ​% of them would erase all of their personal information online if they could. Find the value of the test statistic.

Answers

Answer:

Test statistic = 3.863

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that most adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could. Since the word "most" is used, it means more than 50% or 50 percent.

So, p_o = 0.5

Also, we are told that 58 % of them would erase all of their personal information online if they could.

Thus, p^ = 0.58

Number of randomly selected adults; n = 583

The test statistic formula for hypothesis test for proportion is given by:

z = (p^ - p_o)/[√[p_o(1 - p_o)/n]

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

z = (0.58 - 0.5)/[√[0.5(1 - 0.5)/583]

z = 0.08/0.02070788416

z = 3.863

weeks without a winner. (14.2)

Answers

Answer: P(t) = $1000*2^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, we know that in the week 1 the price is: p = $1000

After one week, the price doubles, so here we have: p = 2*$1000

After another week, the price doubles again, here the price is:

p = 2*(2*$1000) = $1000*2^2

Here we already can see the relation, for each week, we multiply the previous price by two, which will increase the exponent in the two by 1 unit.

Then, for week number t, the price will be:

P(t) = $1000*2^t

compare two spheres. first has a diameter of 8 yards. The second sphere has a diameter of 1064 yards. Determine the ratio of the volume of the larger sphere to the volume of the smaller sphere

Answers

Answer:

The ratio of the volume of the larger sphere to the volume of the smaller sphere is

2352637 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a sphere is

[tex] \frac{4}{3} \pi {r}^{3} [/tex]

Where r is the radius

radius = diameter / 2

For First sphere

diameter = 8yards

radius = 8 / 2 = 4 yards

Volume of first sphere is

[tex] \frac{4}{3} \pi( {4})^{3} \\ \\ = \frac{256}{3} \pi \: {yd}^{3} [/tex]

For second sphere

diameter = 1064 yards

radius = 1064 / 2 = 532 yards

Volume of second sphere is

[tex] \frac{4}{3} \pi( {532})^{3} \\ \\ = \frac{602275072}{3} \pi \: {yd}^{3} [/tex]

Since the volume of the second sphere is the largest

Ratio of the second sphere to the first one is

[tex] \frac{602275072}{3} \pi \div \frac{256}{3} \pi \\ \\ = \frac{602275072}{3} \pi \times \frac{3}{256} \pi \\ \\ = \frac{602275072}{256} \\ \\ = \frac{ 2352637}{1} \\ \\ = 2352637: 1[/tex]
