Answer:
Correct answer is:
C. [tex]F(x) =-x^{2} -3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a function:
[tex]G(x) = x^{2}[/tex]
The graph of [tex]G(x)[/tex] is also shown in the given question figure.
It is a parabola with vertex at (0,0).
Sign of [tex]x^{2}[/tex] is positive, that is why the parabola opens up.
General equation of parabola is given as:
[tex]y = a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]
Here, in G(x), a = 1
Vertex (h,k) is (0,0).
As seen from the question figure,
The graph of F(x) opens down that is why it will have:
Sign of [tex]x^{2}[/tex] as negative. i.e. [tex]a = -1[/tex]
And vertex is at (0,-3)
Putting the values of a and vertex coordinates,
Hence, the equation of parabola will become:
[tex]y = -1(x-0)^2+(-3)\\y = -x^2-3[/tex]
The correct answer is:
C. [tex]F(x) =-x^{2} -3[/tex]
The required equation of graph f(x) is [tex]y = -x^{2} -3[/tex]
Given that,
The graph of f(x), resembles the graph of G(x) = [tex]x^{2}[/tex].
We have to find,

General equation of parabola is given by,
[tex]y = a(x-h)^{2} +k[/tex]
Where, a = 1, and vertex (h, k) is (0,0).
The graph of F(x) unknown function opens down ,
Sign of [tex]x^{2}[/tex] as negative. and the vertex is at (0,-3)
To find the equation of function f(x),
Putting the values of a and vertex coordinates,
[tex]y = a(x-h)^{2} +k[/tex]
The equation of parabola become:
[tex]y = -1(x-0)^{2} +(-3)\\\\y = -x^{2} -3[/tex]

Timmy writes the equation f(x) - *x-1. He then doubles both of the terms on the right side to create the equation g(x) =
2x - 2. How does the graph of g(x) compare to the graph of f(x)?
The line of g(x) is steeper and has a higher y-intercept.
The line of g(x) is less steep and has a lower y-intercept.
The line of g(x) is steeper and has a lower y-intercept.
The line of g(x) is less steep and has a higher y-intercept.
Answer:
The line of g(x) is steeper and has a lower y-intercept.
Step-by-step explanation:
Doubling the function expands it vertically by a factor of 2. Everything is twice as far from the x-axis as it was. The line becomes steeper, and the y-intercept moves twice as far away. It was at -1, now is lower, at -2.
The line of g(x) is steeper and has a lower y-intercept.

It is known that the number of hours a student sleeps per night has a normal distribution. The sleeping time in hours of a random sample of 8 students is given below. See Attached Excel for Data. Compute a 98% confidence interval for the true mean time a student sleeps per night and fill in the blanks appropriately. We have 98 % confidence that the true mean time a student sleeps per night is between and hours. (round to 3 decimal places)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
It is known that the number of hours a student sleeps per night has a normal distribution. The sleeping time in hours of a random sample of 8 students is given below. 7.4, 6.2, 8.5, 6.3, 5.4, 5.5, 6.3, 8.3 Compute a 98% confidence interval for the true mean time a student sleeps per night and fill in the blanks appropriately. We have 98% confidence that the true mean time a student sleeps per night is between _____ and ____ hours. (Keep 3 decimal places)
Solution:
Mean = (7.4 + 6.2 + 8.5 + 6.3 + 5.4 + 5.5 + 6.3 + 8.3)/8 = 6.7375
Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)²/n
Summation(x - mean)² = (7.4 - 6.7375)^2 + (6.2 - 6.7375)^2 + (8.5 - 6.7375)^2 + (6.3 - 6.7375)^2 + (5.4 - 6.7375)^2 + (5.5 - 6.7375)^2 + (6.3 - 6.7375)^2 + (8.3 - 6.7375)^2 = 9.97875
Standard deviation = √(9.97875/8
s = 1.12
Confidence interval is written in the form,
(Sample mean - margin of error, sample mean + margin of error)
The sample mean, x is the point estimate for the population mean.
Margin of error = z × s/√n
Where
sample standard deviation
number of samples
From the information given, the population standard deviation is unknown and the sample size is small, hence, we would use the t distribution to find the z score
In order to use the t distribution, we would determine the degree of freedom, df for the sample.
df = n - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7
Since confidence level = 98% = 0.98, α = 1 - CL = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02
α/2 = 0.02/2 = 0.01
the area to the right of z0.01 is 0.01 and the area to the left of z0.01 is 1 - 0.01 = 0.99
Looking at the t distribution table,
z = 2.998
Margin of error = 2.998 × 1.12/√8
= 1.19
the lower limit of this confidence interval is
6.738 - 1.19 = 5.548
the upper limit of this confidence interval is
6.738 + 1.19 = 7.928
We have 98 % confidence that the true mean time a student sleeps per night is between 5.548 hours and 7.928 hours.
A spotlight on the ground shines on a wall 12 m away. If a man 2 m tall walks from the spotlight toward the building at a speed of 1.4 m/s, how fast is the length of his shadow on the building decreasing when he is 4 m from the building?
Answer:
the length of his shadow on the building is decreasing at the rate of 0.525 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram attached below;
the man is standing at point D with his head at point E
During that time, his shadow on the wall is y = BC
ΔABC and Δ ADE are similar in nature; thus their corresponding sides have equal ratios; i.e
[tex]\dfrac{AD}{AB} = \dfrac{DE}{BC}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{8}{12} = \dfrac{2}{y}[/tex]
8y = 24
y = 24/8
y = 3 meters
Let take an integral look at the distance of the man from the building as x, therefore the distance from the spotlight to the man is 12 - x
∴
[tex]\dfrac{12-x}{12}=\dfrac{2}{y}[/tex]
[tex]1- \dfrac{1}{12}x = 2* \dfrac{1}{y}[/tex]
To find the derivatives of both sides ;we have:
[tex]- \dfrac{1}{12}dx = 2* \dfrac{1}{y^2}dy[/tex]
[tex]- \dfrac{1}{12} \dfrac{dx}{dt} = 2* \dfrac{1}{y^2} \dfrac{dy}{dt}[/tex]
During that time ;
[tex]\dfrac{dx}{dt }= 1.4 \ m/s[/tex] and y = 3
So; replacing the value into above ; we have:
[tex]-\dfrac{1}{12}(1.4) = - \dfrac{2}{9} \dfrac{dy}{dt}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dt} = \dfrac{\dfrac{ 1.4} {12 } }{ \dfrac{2}{9}}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dt} = {\dfrac{ 1.4} {12 } }*{ \dfrac{9}{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dt} =0.525 \ m/s[/tex]
Thus; the length of his shadow on the building is decreasing at the rate of 0.525 m/s

What are the domain and range of f(x) = 2|x – 4|?
Answer:
Domain: All real numbers or (negative infinity, positive infinity)
Range: [0, positive infinity)
Step-by-step explanation:
Domain; Since all values of x would work for this equation, simply any number could be plugged in. That means the domain would stretch to infinity because there are an infinite amount of inputs and outputs
Range; Even though we have an infinite amount of domain, when we plug in a negative x, anything inside the absolute value will turn positive. Therefore, no output (y) value will ever go below zero, and we have [0, positive infinity).
Two con terminal angles 3pi/4 negative and positive answer in radians
Answer:
Negative Coterminal: -5π/4
Positive Coterminal: 11π/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest way to find specific (not infinite) coterminal values is to ±2π. When you subtract 2π, you will get a negative coterminal. When you add 2π, you will get a positive coterminal. Keep in mind though that a tan∅ or cot∅ only needs ±π, not ±2π.

A man wants to set up a 529 college savings account for his granddaughter. How much would he need to deposit each year into the account in order to have $50,000 saved up for when she goes to college in 17 years, assuming the account earns a 5% return?
Answer:
1937.98
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given question, to find the value to be added per year we will use the formula
P= A. r/n/ (1 +r/n)ⁿ - 1
Here A = 50,000
r (rate of interest) = 5 % or 0.05.
n = 1
t = 17
P = value deposit per year
therefore, P = (50,000 X 0.05)/ (1 +0.05)¹⁷ - 1
P = 2500 / 2.29- 1
= 1937.98 $.
therefore, person has to deposit 1937.98 $ per month.
Let the sample space be
S = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
Suppose the outcomes are equally likely. Compute the probability of the event E = 1, 2.
Answer:
probability of the event E = 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
Sample space, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10},
Number of terms in sample S is;
n(S) = 10
We are given the event; E = {1, 2}
Thus, number of terms in event E is;
n(E) = 2
Now, Probability = favorable outcomes/total outcomes
Thus, the probability of the event E is;
P(E) = n(E)/n(S)
P(E) = 2/10
P(E) = 1/5

Given that TU=8x+11 and UV=12x−1, what are x, TU, UV, and TV?
Answer:
x = 3TU = UV = 35TV = 70Step-by-step explanation:
The question lacks the required diagram. Find the diagram attached.
From the diagram, it can be seen that point U is the midpoint of T and V. This means that TU = UV
Given TU=8x+11 and UV=12x−1
8x+11 = 12x -1
8x-12x = -1-11
-4x = -12
x = 3
Since TU = 8x+11
TU = 8(3)+11
TU = 24+11
TU = 35
Also UV = 12x-1
UV = 12(3)-1
UV = 36- 1
UV = 35
TV = TU+UV
TV = 35+35
TV = 70

Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of cells in a tile is 4. If colored alternately, there are 3 of one color and 1 of the alternate color. To balance the coloring, an even number of tiles is needed. Hence the board dimensions must be multiples of 4.
In the given range, there are 7 such boards:

Answer: a) base = 1 ft b) height = 4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Set this up as a right triangle where base = x, height = 2x + 2, and hypotenuse (length of the ladder) = 13
Use Pythagorean Theorem to create a quadratic equation, factor, then apply the Zero Product Property to solve for x.
(x)² + (2x + 2)² = 13²
x² + 4x² + 8x + 4 = 169
5x² + 8x - 165 = 0
(5x + 13) (x - 1) = 0
x = -13/5 x = 1
We know that distance cannot be negative so disregard x = -13/5.
The only valid answer is x = 1
base = x --> x = 1
height = 2x + 2 --> 2(1) + 2 = 4
The distribution of the number of hours of sleep people get per night is unimodal and symmetric with a mean of 6 hours and a standard deviation of 1.5. Using the Empirical Rule, approximately what percentage of people sleep between 6 and 7.5 hours per night
Answer:
Approximately 34% of people sleep between 6 and 7.5 hours per night
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:
68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.
99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
In this problem, we have that:
Mean = 6
Standard deviation = 1.5
The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that 50% of the measures are below the mean and 50% are above.
What percentage of people sleep between 6 and 7.5 hours per night
6 is the mean.
7.5 is 1 one standard deviation above the mean.
By the Empirical Rule, of the 50% of the measures that are above the mean, 68% are within 1 standard deviation of the mean(between 6 and 7.5).
0.5*0.68 = 0.34
Approximately 34% of people sleep between 6 and 7.5 hours per night

e) x<40 or x>55
f) 5% of the values are less than what X value?
g) 60% of the values are between what two X values (symmetrically distributed around the mean)?
h) 85% of the values will be above what X value?
Answer:
a) P(x > 43) = 0.9599
b) P(x < 42) = 0.0228
c) P(x > 57.5) = 0.03
d) P(x = 42) = 0.
e) P(x<40 or x>55) = 0.1118
f) 43.42
g) Between 46.64 and 53.36.
h) Above 45.852.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 50, \sigma = 4[/tex]
a) x>43
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 43. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{43 - 50}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.75[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.75[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0401
1 - 0.0401 = 0.9599
P(x > 43) = 0.9599
b) x<42
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 42.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{42 - 50}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0228
P(x < 42) = 0.0228
c) x>57.5
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 57.5. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{57.5 - 50}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.88[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.88[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.97
1 - 0.97 = 0.03
P(x > 57.5) = 0.03
d) P(x = 42)
In the normal distribution, the probability of an exact value is 0. So
P(x = 42) = 0.
e) x<40 or x>55
x < 40 is the pvalue of Z when X = 40. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{40 - 50}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.5[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.5[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0062
x > 55 is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 55. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{55 - 50}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.25[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.25[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.8944
1 - 0.8944 = 0.1056
0.0062 + 0.1056 = 0.1118
P(x<40 or x>55) = 0.1118
f) 5% of the values are less than what X value?
X is the 5th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.05, so X when Z = -1.645.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]-1.645 = \frac{X - 50}{4}[/tex]
[tex]X - 50 = -1.645*4[/tex]
[tex]X = 43.42[/tex]
43.42 is the answer.
g) 60% of the values are between what two X values (symmetrically distributed around the mean)?
Between the 50 - (60/2) = 20th percentile and the 50 + (60/2) = 80th percentile.
20th percentile:
X when Z has a pvalue of 0.2. So X when Z = -0.84.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]-0.84 = \frac{X - 50}{4}[/tex]
[tex]X - 50 = -0.84*4[/tex]
[tex]X = 46.64[/tex]
80th percentile:
X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8. So X when Z = 0.84.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]0.84 = \frac{X - 50}{4}[/tex]
[tex]X - 50 = 0.84*4[/tex]
[tex]X = 53.36[/tex]
Between 46.64 and 53.36.
h) 85% of the values will be above what X value?
Above the 100 - 85 = 15th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.15. So X when Z = -1.037.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]-1.037 = \frac{X - 50}{4}[/tex]
[tex]X - 50 = -1.037*4[/tex]
[tex]X = 45.852[/tex]
Above 45.852.

Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the slope using two points
(-2,0) and (0,4)
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (4-0)/(0--2)
= 4/+2
= 2
we have the y intercept which is 4
Using the slope intercept form of the line
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = 2x+4
Suppose that we want to generate the outcome of the flip of a fair coin, but that all we have at our disposal is a biased coin which lands on heads with some unknown probability p that need not be equal to1/2. Consider the following procedure for accomplishing our task:
1. Flip the coin.
2. Flip the coin again.
3. If both flips land on heads or both land on tails, return to step 1. 4. Let the result of the last flip be the result of the experiment.
(a) Show that the result is equally likely to be either heads or tails.
(b) Could we use a simpler procedure that continues to flip the coin until the last two flips are different and then lets the result be the outcome of the final flip?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that;
the following procedure for accomplishing our task are:
1. Flip the coin.
2. Flip the coin again.
From here will know that the coin is first flipped twice
3. If both flips land on heads or both land on tails, it implies that we return to step 1 to start again. this makes the flip to be insignificant since both flips land on heads or both land on tails
But if the outcomes of the two flip are different i.e they did not land on both heads or both did not land on tails , then we will consider such an outcome.
Let the probability of head = p
so P(head) = p
the probability of tail be = (1 - p)
This kind of probability follows a conditional distribution and the probability of getting heads is :
[tex]P( \{Tails, Heads\})|\{Tails, Heads,( Heads ,Tails)\})[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{P( \{Tails, Heads\}) \cap \{Tails, Heads,( Heads ,Tails)\})}{ {P( \{Tails, Heads,( Heads ,Tails)\}}}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{P( \{Tails, Heads\}) }{ {P( \{Tails, Heads,( Heads ,Tails)\}}}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{P( \{Tails, Heads\}) } { {P( Tails, Heads) +P( Heads ,Tails)}}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{(1-p)*p}{(1-p)*p+p*(1-p)}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{(1-p)*p}{2(1-p)*p}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
Thus; the probability of getting heads is [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] which typically implies that the coin is fair
(b) Could we use a simpler procedure that continues to flip the coin until the last two flips are different and then lets the result be the outcome of the final flip?
For a fair coin (0<p<1) , it's certain that both heads and tails at the end of the flip.
The procedure that is talked about in (b) illustrates that the procedure gives head if and only if the first flip comes out tail with probability 1 - p.
Likewise , the procedure gives tail if and and only if the first flip comes out head with probability of p.
In essence, NO, procedure (b) does not give a fair coin flip outcome.
A ladder leans against the side of a house. The angle of elevation of the ladder is 66 degrees, and the top of the ladder is 15 ft above the ground. Find the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the side of the house. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
x ≈ 6.7 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We are going to use tan∅ to find our answer:
tan66° = 15/x
xtan66° = 15
x = 15/tan66°
x = 6.67843 ft
A door delivery florist wishes to estimate the proportion of people in his city that will purchase his flowers. Suppose the true proportion is 0.070.07. If 492492 are sampled, what is the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by greater than 0.030.03?
Answer:
The probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by greater than 0.03 is 0.009.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes n > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.
The mean of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:
[tex]\mu_{\hat p}=p[/tex]
The standard deviation of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:
[tex]\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]
As the sample size is large, i.e. n = 492 > 30, the central limit theorem can be used to approximate the sampling distribution of sample proportion by the normal distribution.
The mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample proportion are:
[tex]\mu_{\hat p}=p=0.07\\\\\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.07(1-0.07)}{492}}=0.012[/tex]
Compute the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by greater than 0.03 as follows:
[tex]P(|\hat p-p|>0.03)=P(|\frac{\hat p-p}{\sigma_{\hat p}}|>\frac{0.03}{0.012})[/tex]
[tex]=P(|Z|>2.61)\\\\=1-P(|Z|\leq 2.61)\\\\=1-P(-2.61\leq Z\leq 2.61)\\\\=1-[P(Z\leq 2.61)-P(Z\leq -2.61)]\\\\=1-0.9955+0.0045\\\\=0.0090[/tex]
Thus, the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by greater than 0.03 is 0.009.
