Simplify the expression:
2b – 5b + 7 + 3b

Answer:

D. 4x − 6

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4x − 2

f(x−1) = 4(x−1) − 2

f(x−1) = 4x − 4 − 2

f(x−1) = 4x − 6

Answer:

1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

average rate of change = (f(x2) - f(x1))/(x2 - x1)

f(x) = -2/x^2

f(x2) = f(2) = -2/(-2)^2 = -2/4 = -0.5

f(x1) = f(1) = -2/1^2 = -2

average rate of change = (-0.5 - (-2))/(2 - 1)

average rate of change = (-0.5 + 2)/1

average rate of change = 1.5

Answer:

x = -1.964636

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation;

eˣ = 4 - x²

This can be re-written as;

eˣ - 4 + x² = 0

Let

f(x) = eˣ - 4 + x²    -----------(i)

To use Newton's method, we need to get the first derivative of the above equation as follows;

f¹(x) = eˣ - 0 + 2x

f¹(x) = eˣ + 2x         -----------(ii)

The graph of f(x) has been attached to this response.

As shown in the graph, the curve intersects the x-axis twice - around x = -2 and x = 1. These are the approximate roots of the equation.

Since the question requires that we use the negative root, then we start using the Newton's law with a guess of x₀ = -2 at n=0

From Newton's method,

[tex]x_{n+1} = x_n + \frac{f(x_{n})}{f^1(x_{n})}[/tex]

=> When n=0, the equation becomes;

[tex]x_{1} = x_0 - \frac{f(x_{0})}{f^1(x_{0})}[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = -2 - \frac{f(-2)}{f^1(-2)}[/tex]

Where f(-2) and f¹(-2) are found by plugging x = -2 into equations (i) and (ii) as follows;

f(-2) = e⁻² - 4 + (-2)²

f(-2) = e⁻² = 0.13533528323

And;

f¹(2) = e⁻² + 2(-2)

f¹(2) = e⁻² - 4 = -3.8646647167

Therefore

[tex]x_{1} = -2 - \frac{0.13533528323}{-3.8646647167}[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = -2 - \frac{0.13533528323}{-3.8646647167}[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = -2 - -0.03501863503[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = -2 + 0.03501863503[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = -1.9649813649[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = -1.96498136[/tex]         [to 8 decimal places]

=> When n=1, the equation becomes;

[tex]x_{2} = x_1 - \frac{f(x_{1})}{f^1(x_{1})}[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = -1.96498136 - \frac{f(-1.9649813)}{f^1(-1.9649813)}[/tex]

Following the same procedure as above we have

[tex]x_{2} = -1.96463563[/tex]

=> When n=2, the equation becomes;

[tex]x_{3} = x_2 - \frac{f(x_{2})}{f^1(x_{2})}[/tex]

[tex]x_{3} = -1.96463563- \frac{f( -1.96463563)}{f^1( -1.96463563)}[/tex]

Following the same procedure as above we have

[tex]x_{3} = -1.96463560[/tex]

From the values of [tex]x_2[/tex] and [tex]x_3[/tex], it can be seen that there is no change in the first 6 decimal places, therefore, it is safe to say that the value of the negative root of the equation is approximately  -1.964636 to 6 decimal places.

Newton's method of approximation is one of the several ways of estimating values.

The approximated value of [tex]\mathbf{e^x = 4 - x^2}[/tex] to 6 decimal places is [tex]\mathbf{ -1.964636}[/tex]

The equation is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{e^x = 4 - x^2}[/tex]

Equate to 0

[tex]\mathbf{4 - x^2 = 0}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x^2 = 4}[/tex]

Take square roots of both sides

[tex]\mathbf{ x= \pm 2}[/tex]

So, the negative root is:

[tex]\mathbf{x = -2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{e^x = 4 - x^2}[/tex] becomes [tex]\mathbf{f(x) = e^x - 4 + x^2 }[/tex]

Differentiate

[tex]\mathbf{f'(x) = e^x +2x }[/tex]

Using Newton's method of approximation, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x_{n+1} = x_n - \frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)}}[/tex]

When x = -2, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{f'(-2) = e^{(-2)} +2(-2) = -3.86466471676}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{f(-2) = e^{-2} - 4 + (-2)^2 = 0.13533528323}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x_{1} = -2 - \frac{0.13533528323}{-3.86466471676}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{1} = -2 + \frac{0.13533528323}{3.86466471676}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{1} = -1.96498136}[/tex]

Repeat the above process for repeated x values.

We have:

[tex]\mathbf{x_{2} = -1.96463563}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{3} = -1.96463560}[/tex]

Up till the 6th decimal places,

[tex]\mathbf{x_2 = x_3}[/tex]

Hence, the approximated value of [tex]\mathbf{e^x = 4 - x^2}[/tex] to 6 decimal places is [tex]\mathbf{ -1.964636}[/tex]

Answer:

Time taken by Stephen = 162 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Stephan gathered data which fits in the line of best fit,

y = -2.1x + 565.6

Where x represents the age (in months)

And y represents the time (in seconds) taken by Stephen to run two laps on the track.

Time taken to run 2 laps at the age of 192 months,

By substituting x = 192 months,

y = -2.1(192) + 565.6

  = -403.2 + 565.6

  = 162.4 seconds

  ≈ 162 seconds

Therefore, time taken by Stephen to cover 2 laps was 162 seconds when he was 192 months old.

Answer:

$12.10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to set up a proportion to find what 20% of $60.50, or 60.5, is. On one side of the proportion you have 20/100 to represent the percent, anytime you have a percent it will always go over 100. On the other side you'll have x/60.5 because you are trying to find a value out of 60.5. This gives you the proportion 20/100=x/60.5. In order to solve this you have to cross multiply using the equation 20(60.5)=100x. First, you multiply to get 1210=100x, then divide both sides by 100 to get 12.1=x. In order for this to represent money, we add a zero on the end. This means that 20% of $60.50 is $12.10, so $12.10 is the tip.

Answer:

x = -1

y =2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+ 5y = 7

9x+ 11y = 13

Multiply the first equation by -3 so we can eliminate x

-3 (3x+ 5y = 7)

-9x -15y = -21

Add this to the second equation

-9x -15y = -21

9x+ 11y = 13

-------------------

   - 4y = -8

Divide by -4

-4y/-4 = -8/-4

y=2

Now solve for x

3x+5y = 7

3x+5(2) = 7

3x+10 = 7

Subtract 10

3x = 7-10

3x = -3

Divide by 3

3x/3 = -3/3

x = -1

Answer:

-1, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Although you already have the answer, here's another method of doing it that may or may not help you someday. First, we solve the top equation for x. We get:

[tex]x = \frac{7}{3} - \frac{5}{3}y\\9x + 11y = 13[/tex]

Now that we know what x is, we can plug it into the bottom equation to solve for y.

[tex]9(\frac{7}{3} - \frac{5}{3}y) + 11y = 13[/tex]

Simplify everything out, and you'll see that y = 2. We can now plug it into our equation to solve for x.

x = 7/3 - 5/3 x 2; x = -1

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

From the question

Slope / m = 5

Equation of the line passing through point (2 , 10) is

y - 10 = 5(x - 2)

Answer:

Slope = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to get it to the slope intercept form first.

2y = -4x + 3

Divide by 2

y = -2x + 3/2

Parallel means in the new slope intercept form there will still be -2x.

y = -2x + b (enter in points ( 0, 1.5 ) )

1.5 = 0 + b

b = 1.5

y = -2x + 1.5 ( just an example of a line parallel to 4x + 2y = 3 )

Answer:

we will fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the return rate is less than​ 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Sample size;n = 6970

Success rate;X = 1334/6970 = 0.1914

Now, we want to test the claim that the return rate is less than p = 0.2, hence the null and alternative hypothesis are respectively;

H0: μ < 0.2

Ha: μ ≥ 0.2

The standard deviation formula is;

σ = √(x(1 - x)/n)

σ = √(0.1914(1 - 0.1914)/6970)

σ = 0.004712

Now for the test statistic, formula is;

z = (x - μ)/σ

z = (0.1914 - 0.2)/0.004712

z = -1.825

From the a-distribution table attached, we have a value of 0.03362.

This p-value gotten from the z-table is more than the significance value of 0.01. Thus, we will fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the return rate is less than​ 20%.

Answer:

4 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent boys and y represent girls

Hence, x : y = 3 : 2

x/y = 3/2  

2x = 3y ------ (1)

x/y + 4 = 3/3

3x = 3(y + 4)

3x = 3y + 12 --------- (2)

From (1): x = 3y/2

Substitute x into (2) we have:

9y/2 = 3y + 12

9y = 6y + 24

9y - 6y = 24

3y = 24

∴ y = 8

From (2) : 3x = 24 - 12 = 12

∴ x = 4

Hence there Four boys

(B) The value of t-test statistics is -18.48.

(C) The P-value is Less than 0.005%.

(D) Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the cans of diet soda have mean weights that are lower than the mean weight for the regular soda.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the Data on the weights (lb) of the contents of cans of diet soda versus the contents of cans of the regular version of the soda is summarized to the right;

Diet Regular

μ μ1 μ2

n 20 20

x 0.78062lb 0.81645 lb

s 0.00444 lb 0.00745 lb

Let [tex]\mu_1[/tex] = mean weight of contents of cans of diet soda.

[tex]\mu_2[/tex] = mean weight of contents of cans of regular soda.

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu_1 \geq \mu_2[/tex]      {means that the contents of cans of diet soda have weights with a mean that is more than or equal to the mean for the regular soda}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu_1<\mu_2[/tex]     {means that the contents of cans of diet soda have weights with a mean that is less than the mean for the regular soda}

The test statistics that will be used here is Two-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviations;

                    T.S.  =  [tex]\frac{(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2)-(\mu_1- \mu_2)}{s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } }[/tex]  ~  [tex]t__n_1_+_n_2_-_2[/tex]

where, [tex]\bar X_1[/tex] = sample mean weight of cans of diet soda = 0.78062 lb

[tex]\bar X_2[/tex] = sample mean weight of cans of regular soda = 0.81645 lb

[tex]s_1[/tex] = sample standard deviation of cans of diet soda = 0.00444 lb

[tex]s_2[/tex] = sample standard deviation of cans of regular soda = 0.00745 lb

[tex]n_1[/tex] = sample of cans of diet soda = 20

[tex]n_2[/tex] = sample of cans of diet soda = 20

Also,  [tex]s_p =\sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)s_1^{2}+ (n_2-1)s_2^{2}}{n_1+n_2-2} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{(20-1)\times 0.00444^{2}+ (20-1)\times 0.00745^{2}}{20+20-2} }[/tex] = 0.00613

So, the test statistics =  [tex]\frac{(0.78062-0.81645)-(0)}{0.00613 \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{20} } }[/tex]  ~  [tex]t_3_8[/tex]

                                    =  -18.48

The value of t-test statistics is -18.48.

Also, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;

              P-value = P( [tex]t_3_8[/tex] < -18.48) = Less than 0.005%

Now, at a 0.01 level of significance, the t table gives a critical value of -2.429 at 38 degrees of freedom for the left-tailed test.

Since the value of our test statistics is less than the critical value of t as -18.48 < -2.429, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the contents of cans of diet soda have weights with a mean that is less than the mean for the regular soda.

Answer:

The "formula" for an exponential function is f(x) = a * bˣ where a is the initial value / y-intercept. Therefore, a = 4 so f(x) = 4 * bˣ. To solve for b, we can plug in the values x = 3 and f(x) = 500 which becomes:

500 = 4 * b³

125 = b³

b = 5 so the answer is f(x) = 4 · 5ˣ.

Answer:

f(x)=4(5)x

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential equation in the form y=a(b)x has initial value a and common ratio b. The initial value is the same as the y-intercept, 4, so the equation is in the form y=4(b)x. Substituting the point (3,500) gives 500=4(b)3. Solve for b to find that the common ratio is 5.

[tex]\boxed{Option \ 4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

∠YVZ = 180 - 52 - 43 - 38   (Angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees so if we try to find an unknown angle on the straight line, we need too subtract all the other angles from 180 degrees)

=> ∠YUZ = 47 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: In the figure shown, <UVW is a straight angle.

This means it measures 180 degrees.

So to find <YVZ, we add up all the angles and subtract the sum

from 180 to get the answer to this problem.

43 + 52 + 38 gives us a sum of 133.

Now we take 180 - 133 yo get 47.

So m<YVZ is 47 degrees.
