what is the value of the negative zero of the function, f, defined by
f(x) = x^2 - 16

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x² - 16

This is the difference of squares

which factors as

f(x) = (x - 4)(x + 4)

Therefor the negative zero is

x = -4

If you place a 37-foot ladder against the top of a 15-foot building, how many feet will the bottom of the ladder be from the bottom of the building? Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answers

Answer:

33.8

Step-by-step explanation:

a²+b²=c²

15²+b²=37²

225+b²=1369

-225     -225

b²=1144

What is Pythagoras' Theorem?

If ABC is a triangle with AC as the hypotenuse and angle B with 90 degrees then we have:

|AC|^2 = |AB|^2 + |BC|^2    

where |AB| = length of line segment AB. (AB and BC are rest of the two sides of that triangle ABC, AC being the hypotenuse).

If you place a 37-foot ladder against the top of a 15-foot building.

Let BC be the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the bottom of the building.

[tex]|AC|^2 = |AB|^2 + |BC|^2 \\15^2+BC^2=37^2\\225 + BC^2=1369\\BC^2 = 1369 - 225\\\\BC^2 = 1144\\\\BC = 33.8[/tex]

3 [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the largest number add the value of the range to the smallest number.

- 2 [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] + 6 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] ( change to improper fractions )

= - [tex]\frac{19}{8}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{25}{4}[/tex]

= - [tex]\frac{19}{8}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{50}{8}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{31}{8}[/tex]

in 2012, the population of a city was 63,000. by 2017, the population was reduced to approximately 54,100. identify any equations that are appropriate models for the population of the city, and explain why the others are not

Answers

Answer:

[tex]f(x) = 63000(0.97)^x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(0) = 63000[/tex] ---x = 0, in 2012

[tex]f(5) = 54100[/tex] -- x = 5, in 2017

Required

Select all possible equations

Because there is a reduction in the population, as time increases; the rate must be less than 1.

An exponential function is represented as:

[tex]f(x) = ab^x[/tex]

Where

[tex]b = rate[/tex]

rate > 1 in options (a) and (b) i.e. 1.03

This implies that (a) and (b) cannot be true

For option (c), we have:

[tex]f(x) = 63000(0.97)^x[/tex]

Set x = 0

[tex]f(0) = 63000(0.97)^0 = 63000*1=63000\\[/tex]

Set x = 5

[tex]f(5) = 63000(0.97)^5 = 63000*0.8587=54098.1 \approx 54100[/tex]

This is true because the calculated values of f(0) and f(5) correspond to the given values

For option (d), we have:

[tex]f(x) = 52477(0.97)^x[/tex]

Set x = 0

[tex]f(0) = 52477(0.97)^0 - 52477* 1 = 52477[/tex]

This is false because the calculated value of f(0) does not correspond to the given value

For option (e), we have:

[tex]f(x) = 63000(0.97)^\frac{1}{5x}[/tex]

Set x = 0

[tex]f(0) = 63000(0.97)^\frac{1}{5*0} = 63000(0.97)^\frac{1}{0} =[/tex]undefined

This is false because the f(x) is not undefined at x = 0

For option (f), we have:

[tex]f(x) = 52477(0.97)^{5x[/tex]

Set x = 0

[tex]f(0) = 52477(0.97)^{5*0} = 52477(0.97)^0 =52477*1= 52477[/tex]

This is false because the calculated value of f(0) does not correspond to the given value

From the computations above, only (c) [tex]f(x) = 63000(0.97)^x[/tex] is true

The point P (x,y) lies on the terminal side of an angle 0= 195 in standard position. What are the signs of the value of x and y

Answers

Answer:

When we have a point (x, y), the angle that defines this point in polar coordinates is given by:

Tan(θ) = y/x

In this case, we know that θ = 195°

Then replacing that, we get:

Tan(195°) = y/x

0.268 = y/x

Now, there is a problem, we have a single equation and two variables.

So we will get:

y = (0.268)*x

This equation defines all the possible values that x and y could take such the angle in standard position is 195°.

So we only can conclude that:

x and y have the same sign.

For a given value of x, the correspondent y-value is:

y =  (0.268)*x

A company’s mean salary is $65,000 with a standard deviation of $6,000. What is the probability that an employee makes between $70,000 and $80,000?

Answers

An employee has a probability of 0.19706 to make between $70,000 and $80,000

What is Probability?

Probability is the potential for an event to occur or occur, and it indicates the likelihood that a statement is true. It is a field of mathematics where the probabilities of experiments happening are computed. We can determine everything from the likelihood of getting heads or tails when tossing a coin to the likelihood of making a research error, for instance, using a probability. It's formula is = number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes

Let X be the annual salary of employees in a large company.

Given the mean salary is $65,000 and the standard deviation is $6,000, the probability of making between $70000 and 80000 can be calculated as:

[tex]P(70000 < X < 80000)[/tex] = [tex]P(\frac{70000 - 65000}{6000} < z < \frac{80000 - 65000}{6000} )[/tex]

[tex]P(0.833 < z < 2.5)[/tex]

= 0.99379 - 0.79673 (from normal distribution table)

= 0.19706

Hence, the probability that an employee makes between $70,000 and $80,000 is 0.19706

You and a friend are playing a game of chance. Every time you roll (using a fair die) a 1, 2, 3, or 4, you are successful, and your friend will pay you $1. Every time you roll a 5 or 6, you must pay your friend $2. If 65% of your rolls are successful and 35% of your rolls are unsuccessful, how much money do you expect to have won/owe by the end of the game?

You owe 41 cents

You have won 5 cents

You owe 5 cents

You have won 41 cents

Answers

Answer:

you owe $5

Step-by-step explanation:

65% wins means $65

35% losses means -$70

Answer:

You owe 5 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

(the amount of money won)(the number of successful rolls)+(the amount of money lost)(the number of unsuccessful rolls)=expected value

65% of rolls are successful which means that  13/20 of the rolls are successful (simply convert to a fraction).

35% of the rolls are unsuccessful which means that 7/20 of the rolls are unsuccessful.

Using the equation above we can use,

(1)(13/20)+(-2)(7/20)

to find the expected value.

(1)(13/20)+(-2)(7/20)=0.05
