The first thing to do is find the x-intercepts of the function so that you can plot them. Set the function f(x) to zero and find the values of x.
0 = <span>(x + 8)3(x + 6)2(x + 2)(x − 1)3(x − 3)4(x − 6)
There are 6 intercepts:
x+8=0 ---> x= -8
x+6=0 ---> x=-6
x+2=0 ---> x=-2
x-1=0 ---> x=1
x-3=0 ---> x=3
x-6=0 ---> x=6
The 6 intercepts are plotted as shown in the picture. The tool I used was Microsoft Excel. This is one possible sketch of the graph. The trend could move in any ways as long as it passes these 6 intercepts.</span>
The slope of her function represents the amount she earns per door that she knocks on.
Answer:
3 1/2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a problem in units conversion. We want to get from bags to hours by way of minutes per bag. One bag takes an effort of 2/3 person·minute, so we need to divide the total effort by the number of persons and convert minutes to hours.
(1575 bags)×(2/3 person·min/bag)/(5 person)/(60 min/h)
= (1575)(2/3)(1/5)(1/60) h = 3.5
It will take the 5 of them about 3 1/2 hours to prepare 1575 bags.
We have the following equation:
If we graph this equation we realize that in fact this is an ellipse with
major axis matching the y-axis. So we can recognize these characteristics:
1. Center of the ellipse: The midpoint C<span> of the line segment joining the foci is called the </span>center<span> of the ellipse. So in this exercise this point is as follows:
</span>
2. Length of major axis:
The line through the foci is called the major axis<span>, so in the figure if you go from -5, at the y-coordinate, and walk through this major axis to the coordinate 1, the distance you run is the length of the major axis, that is:</span>
3. Length of minor axis:
The line perpendicular to the foci through the center is called the minor axis. So in the figure if you go from -2, at the x-coordinate, and walk through this minor axis to the coordinate 2, the distance you run is the length of the minor axis, that is:
4. Foci:Let's find c as follows:
Then the foci are:
Answer:
the probability that the project will be completed in 95 days or less, P(x ≤ 95) = 0.023
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a normal probability distribution question.
We'll need to standardize the 95 days to solve this.
The standardized score is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.
z = (x - xbar)/σ
x = 95 days
xbar = mean = 105 days
σ = standard deviation = √(variance) = √25 = 5
z = (95 - 105)/5 = - 2
To determine the probability that the project will be completed in 95 days or less, P(x ≤ 95) = P(z ≤ (-2))
We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities
P(x ≤ 95) = P(z ≤ (-2)) = 0.02275 = 0.023
