Find the vertical and horizontal asymptotes, domain, range, and roots of f (x) = -1 / x-3 +2.

Answers

Answer:

Vertical asymptote: [tex]x=3[/tex]

Horizontal asymptote: [tex]f(x) =2[/tex]

Domain of f(x) is all real numbers except 3.

Range of f(x) is all real numbers except 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Function:

[tex]f (x) = -\dfrac{1 }{ x-3} +2[/tex]

One root, [tex]x = 3.5[/tex]

To find:

Vertical and horizontal asymptote, domain, range and roots of f(x).

Solution:

First of all, let us find the roots of f(x).

Roots of f(x) means the value of x where f(x) = 0

[tex]0= -\dfrac{1 }{ x-3} +2\\\Rightarrow 2= \dfrac{1 }{ x-3}\\\Rightarrow 2x-2 \times 3=1\\\Rightarrow 2x=7\\\Rightarrow x = 3.5[/tex]

One root, [tex]x = 3.5[/tex]

Domain of f(x) i.e. the values that we give as input to the function and there is a value of f(x) defined for it.

For x = 3, the value of f(x) [tex]\rightarrow \infty[/tex]

For all, other values of [tex]x[/tex] , [tex]f(x)[/tex] is defined.

Hence, Domain of f(x) is all real numbers except 3.

Range of f(x) i.e. the values that are possible output of the function.

f(x) = 2 is not possible in this case because something is subtracted from 2. That something is [tex]\frac{1}{x-3}[/tex].

Hence, Range of f(x) is all real numbers except 2.

Vertical Asymptote is the value of x, where value of f(x) [tex]\rightarrow \infty[/tex].

[tex]-\dfrac{1 }{ x-3} +2 \rightarrow \infty[/tex]

It is possible only when

[tex]x-3=0\\\Rightarrow x=3[/tex]

[tex]\therefore[/tex] vertical asymptote: [tex]x=3[/tex]

Horizontal Asymptote is the value of f(x) , where value of x [tex]\rightarrow \infty[/tex].

[tex]x\rightarrow \infty \Rightarrow \dfrac{1 }{ x-3} \rightarrow 0\\\therefore f(x) =-0+2 \\\Rightarrow f(x) =2[/tex]

[tex]\therefore[/tex] Horizontal asymptote: [tex]f(x) =2[/tex]

a lottery game has balls numbered 1 through 19. what is the probability selected ball is an even numbered ball or a 4 g

Answers

Answer:

Probability ball is an even numbered ball or a 4 [P(A or B)] = 9 / 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of balls = 1 to 19

Find:

Probability ball is an even numbered ball or a 4

Computation:

Total even number = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18

Probability to get even number P(A) = 9 / 19

Probability to get 4 number P(B) = 1 / 19

P(A and B) = 1 / 19 (4 common)

Probability ball is an even numbered ball or a 4 [P(A or B)]

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) -P(A and B)

P(A or B) = [9 / 19] + [1 / 19] - [1 / 19]

Probability ball is an even numbered ball or a 4 [P(A or B)] = 9 / 19

A right prism of height 15 cm has bases that are right triangles with legs 5 cm and 12 cm. Find the total
surface area of the prism,
OA 315 cm square
OB, 480 cm square
Oc. 510 cm square
OD. 570 cm square

Please explain how to get the answer

Answers

Answer:

C. 510 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Well to find TSA or Total Surface Area,

We need to find the area of al the triangles and rectangles.

Let's start with the 2 rectangles facing forwards.

They both have dimensions of 5*15 and 12*15,

75 + 180

= 255 cm ^2

Now let's do the back rectangle which has dimensions of 15 and 13.

15*13 = 195 cm^2

Now we can do the top and bottom triangles,

Since we don't have height we can use the following formula,

[tex]A = \sqrt{S(S-a)(S-b)(S-c)}[/tex]

S is [tex]S = \frac{1}{2} (A+B+C)[/tex]

S= 15

Now with s we can plug that in,

[tex]A = \sqrt{15(15-5)(15-13)(15-12)}[/tex]

The a b and c are the sides of the triangle.

So let's solve,

15 - 5 = 10

15 - 13 = 2

15 - 12 = 3

10*2*3 = 60

60*15 = 900

[tex]\sqrt{900}[/tex] = 30 cm^2

Since there is 2 triangles with the same dimensions their areas combined is 60 cm^2

60 + 255 + 195 = 510 cm^2

Thus,

the TSA of the right triangular prism is C. 510 cm^2.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

C) 510 square centimetres

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a prism is given as:

A = bh * pL

where b = base length of the prism = 12 cm

h = base width = 5 cm

p = b + h + c

where c = slant height = 13 cm

L = height of the prism = 15 cm

Therefore, the surface area of the prism is:

A = (12 * 5) + (12 + 5 + 13) * 15

A = 60 + (30 * 15)

A = 60 + 450

A = 510 square centimetres

That is the surface area of the prism.

Which is the recommended method for reading your math textbook most effectively? a. read, question, summarize, practice b. highlight, skim, ask, and review c. preview, read, summarize, and review

Answers

Answer:  a. read, question, summarize, practice

Step-by-step explanation:

This may be subjective, but the most efficient method usually is:

> Read:

Obviously the first step is read, if there is something that you do not understand, keep reading (but take note of all the things that you don't understand), is important that you have a complete overview on the topic that you are studying

> Question:

Now is time to ask about the things that you did not understand in the first read, always when you do not fully understand something, is a good habit to ask about it, this is the best and easiest way to learn.

> Summarize:

Now that you understand all the text (or at least most of it) is the moment to summarize your new knowledge: Write all the new equations that you learned, also write for what they are for, when they can be useful, etc.

This is what you will use to solve exercises, so you should be clear when writing.

> Practice:

This is one of the most important parts, here is where you put in practice your new knowledge. Here you may find some problematic situations where you need to be inventive with your equations, which will allow you to learn new ways to use your equations, so this is a really important step.

So the correct option is A.

D: 0 ≤ b ≤ 120 R: 0 ≤ W(b) ≤ 10 C. D: 0 ≤ b ≤ 10 R: 12 ≤ W(b) ≤ 120 D. D: 10 ≤ b ≤ 12 R: 0 ≤ W(b) ≤ 120

Answers

Answer:

  A. D: 0 ≤ b ≤ 10 R: 0 ≤ W(b) ≤ 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Since b represents the number of birdhouses, it is reasonable for that to have non-negative values. The maximum material availability means that b > 10 is not of practical use. This eliminates choices B and D.

Since W represents the amount of wood required for b birdhouses, it is reasonable for the range of it to match 12 times the domain: 12·0 = 0 to 12·10 = 120. This eliminates choice C.

The appropriate choice is ...

The length of a rectangle is 4yd longer than its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 36yd, find its area

Answers

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{\sf Area \ of \ the \ rectangle = 91 \ yd^{2}} [/tex]

Given:

Length of the rectangle = 4 yd longer than its width

Perimeter of the rectangle = 36 yd

To Find:

Area of the rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle be 'w' yd

So,

Length of the rectangle = (w + 4) yd

[tex] \therefore \\ \sf \implies Perimeter \: of \: the \: rectangle = 2(Length + Width) \\ \\ \sf \implies 36 = 2((4 + w) + w) \\ \\ \sf \implies 36 = 2(4 + w + w) \\ \\ \sf \implies 36 = 2(4 + 2w) \\ \\ \sf 36 =2(2w+4) \: is \: equivalent \: to \: 2(2w + 4) = 36: \\ \sf \implies 2(2w + 4) = 36 \\ \\ \sf Divide \: both \: sides \: of \: 2 (2w + 4) = 36 \: by \: 2: \\ \sf \implies 2w + 4 = 18 \\ \\ \sf Subtract \: 4 \: from \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies 2w = 14 \\ \\ \sf Divide \: both \: sides \: of \: 2w = 14 \: by \: 2: \\ \sf \implies w = 7[/tex]

So,

Width of the rectangle = 7 yd

Length of the rectangle = (7 + 4) yd

= 13 yd

[tex] \therefore \\ \sf Area \ of \ the \ rectangle = Length \times Width \\ \\ \sf = 7 \times 13 \\ \\ \sf = 91 \: {yd}^{2} [/tex]

Can you figure out the missing number in this sequence? Type your answer below!
88511,16351,?,10251

Answers

Answer:

731`55

Step-by-step explanation:

*Step-by-step explanation:*

The given sequence:

88511, 16351, ?, 10251

To find, the missing number (?) = ?

The pattern follow:

1. To Add the first 2 digits in the number .

2. Subtract digit 3 from Digit 2 .

3. The multiply digit 3 and 4 .

4. To  divide digit 4 by 3.

16351 ⇒ 8 + 8 = 16,   8 - 5 = 3, 5 × 1 = 5 and \dfrac{1}{1} =111=1

= 16351

? ⇒ 1 + 6 = 7, 6 - 3 = 3, 3 × 5 = 15 and \dfrac{5}{1}15 = 5

= 73155

10251  ⇒ 7 + 3 = 10, 3 - 1 = 2,  1 × 5 = 5 and \dfrac{5}{5}55 = 1

=  10251

∴ The missing number of the given sequence = 73155

Thus, the missing number of the given sequence is 73155.

The third number in the sequence is : 73155

The given sequence is:

88511, 16351, ?, 10251

Now the pattern to find the missing value is:

Add, subtract, multiply and then divide.

These patterns are applied on the previous number's double digits to get the next number of the sequence.

Example:

Take 88511.

First pair (8,8): Add them: 16

Second pair (8,5): Subtract them: 8-5 = 3

Third pair: (5,1): Multiply them: 5

Fourth pair(1,1): Divide them: 1/1 = 1

Thus the next number of the sequence we get is 16351.

Similarly, doing it on 2nd term (16351) to find the missing third term:

Add (1,6): 7

Subtract (6,3): 3

Multiply (3,5): 15

Divide (5,1): 5

Thus the third number in the sequence is : 73155

Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is characterized by deceitfulness, reckless disregard for the well-being of others, a diminished capacity for remorse, superficial charm, thrill seeking, and poor behavioral control. ASPD is not normally diagnosed in children or adolescents, but antisocial tendencies can sometimes be recognized in childhood or early adolescence. James Blair and his colleagues have studied the ability of children with antisocial tendencies to recognize facial expressions that depict sadness, happiness, anger, disgust, fear, and surprise. They have found that children with antisocial tendencies have selective impairments, with significantly more difficulty recognizing fearful and sad expressions.
Suppose you have a sample of 40 14-year-old children with antisocial tendencies and you are particularly interested in the emotion of surprise. The average 14-year-old has a score on the emotion recognition scale of 11.80. (The higher the score on this scale, the more strongly an emotion has to be displayed to be correctly identified. Therefore, higher scores indicate greater difficulty recognizing the emotion). Assume that scores on the emotion recognition scale are normally distributed.
You believe that children with antisocial tendencies will have a harder time recognizing the emotion of surprise (in other words, they will have higher scores on the emotion recognition test).
What is your null hypothesis stated using symbols? ________

Answers

Answer:

Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 11.80

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] > 11.80

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that you have a sample of 40 14-year-old children with antisocial tendencies and you are particularly interested in the emotion of surprise. The average 14-year-old has a score on the emotion recognition scale of 11.80.

Assume that scores on the emotion recognition scale are normally distributed.

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = true average score on the emotion recognition scale

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 11.80

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] > 11.80

This a right-tailed test because the higher the score on this scale, the more strongly an emotion has to be displayed to be correctly identified. Therefore, higher scores indicate greater difficulty recognizing the emotion.

We can evaluate this hypothesis using One-sample t-test statistics or One-sample z-test statistics depends on the information given in the question.

If the z-test statistic is used, then the critical region at 0.05 level of significance will be an area more than the critical value of 1.645.

And if the t-test statistic is used, then the critical region at 0.05 level of significance with 39 degrees of freedom will be an area more than the critical value of 1.685.

The null hypothesis should be considered as the [tex]H_0: \mu = 11.80[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis should be considered as the [tex]H_A: \mu > 11.80[/tex]

It is the right-tailed test.

Calculation of the null hypothesis & alternative hypothesis:

Since The average 14-year-old has a score on the emotion recognition scale of 11.80.

So here the null hypothesis should be [tex]H_0: \mu = 11.80[/tex]

And, here it is the right-tailed test since there should be higher the score on the given scale, due to this it should strongly an emotion that represent for rightly identified. Also high scores represent the high difficults for recording the emotion.

The equation to go from F to C, is (F-32)×5/9. So 400-32 is 368.

368×5=1840

Than 1840/9=204.44 degrees. The 4 is repeating at the end.

If ABC~DEF and the scale factor from ABC to DEF is 3/4, what is the length of DF?

Answers

Answer:

the length of DF = 3/4 AC

see below for explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC is said to be approximately equal to DEF

The scale factor from ABC to DEF = 3/4

From the question, we can tell the original and new shape is a triangle because the lettering to indicate the vertices for both are 3.

We can deduce from the question, ΔABC was dilated to form ΔDEF

In dilation, the length of each of the corresponding side of the new figure is equal to the multiplication of each of the corresponding sides of the old figure and thee scale factor.

In the absence of cordinates for each vertices and length of each sides, ΔABC has 3 sides :

AB, BC and AC

ΔDEF has 3 sides : DE, EF and DF

If AB corresponds to DE

BC corresponds to EF

AC corresponds to DF

Then:

length DE = scale factor × AB = 3/4 AB

length EF = scale factor × BC = 3/4 BC

length DF = scale factor × AC = 3/4 AC

Therefore, the length of DF = 3/4 AC

what is the measure of SR?

Answers

Answer:

RS = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Secant QU = internal secant segment PU + external secant segment PQ = 7 + 9 = 16

Secant QS = internal secant segment RS + external secant segment RQ = (3x - 5) + 8

To find the measure of RS, we need to find the value of x.

Thus, recall the "Two Secant Theorem"

According to the theorem,

(RS + RQ)*RQ = (PU + PQ)*PQ

Thus,

[tex] (3x - 5 + 8)*8 = (7 + 9)*9 [/tex]

[tex] (3x + 3)*8 = (16)*9 [/tex]

[tex] 24x + 24 = 144 [/tex]

Subtract 24 from both sides

[tex] 24x + 24 - 24 = 144 - 24 [/tex]

[tex] 24x = 120 [/tex]

Divide both sides by 24

[tex] \frac{24x}{24} = \frac{120}{24} [/tex]

[tex] x = 5 [/tex]

Plug in the value of x into (3x - 5) to find the measure of RS

RS = 3(5) - 5 = 15 - 7

RS = 8


A positive integer is 2 less than another. If the sum of the reciprocal of the smaller and twice
the reciprocal of the larger is 11/15,
then find the two integers.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller integer.

Let y represent the larger integer.

A positive integer is 2 less than another. It means that

y = x + 2

If the sum of the reciprocal of the smaller and twice the reciprocal of the larger is 11/15, it means that

1/x + 2/y = 11/15- - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting y = x + 2 into equation 1, it becomes

1/x + 2/(x + 2) = 11/15

Considering the left hand side of the equation, it becomes

(x + 2 + 2x)/x(x + 2)

Therefore,

(3x + 2)/(x² + 2x) = 11/15

Cross multiplying, it becomes

15(3x + 2) = 11(x² + 2x)

45x + 30 = 11x² + 22x

11x² + 22x - 45x - 30 = 0

11x² - 23x - 30 = 0

11x² + 10x - 33x - 30 = 0

x(11x + 10) - 3(11 + 10) =℅0

(x - 3)(11x + 10) = 0

x - 3 = 0 or 11x + 10 = 0

x = 3 or x = - 10/11

Since it us a positive integer, the smaller integer is 3 and the larger integer is 3 + 2 = 5

Answer: Let x represent the smaller integer.Let y represent the larger integer.A positive integer is 2 less than another. It means that y = x + 2 If the sum of the reciprocal of the smaller and twice the reciprocal of the larger is 11/15, it means that 1/x + 2/y = 11/15- - - - - - - - - - 1Substituting y = x + 2 into equation 1, it becomes 1/x + 2/(x + 2) = 11/15Considering the left hand side of the equation, it becomes(x + 2 + 2x)/x(x + 2) Therefore,(3x + 2)/(x² + 2x) = 11/15Cross multiplying, it becomes15(3x + 2) = 11(x² + 2x)45x + 30 = 11x² + 22x11x² + 22x - 45x - 30 = 011x² - 23x - 30 = 011x² + 10x - 33x - 30 = 0x(11x + 10) - 3(11 + 10) =℅0(x - 3)(11x + 10) = 0x - 3 = 0 or 11x + 10 = 0x = 3 or x = - 10/11Since it us a positive integer, the smaller integer is 3 and the larger integer is 3 + 2 = 5
