Answer:
Below is the procedure that was used to find the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "e" the weight in pounds of the elephant and "c" the weight in pounds of the cat.
According to the information provided in the exercise, we know that The weight of an elephant is 
times the weight of a cat. Based on this we can write the following equation:
If the weight in pounds of the elephant is:
We must substitute this value into the equation and then solve for "c" in order to find the weight in pounds of the cat.
Then we get:
Answer:
B. 1/25
Step-by-step explanation:
This question asks us to find (-2), or f(x) when x is equal to -2.
We know that f(x)=5^x. We also know that we are trying to find f(-2). Therefore, we must substitute -2 in for x.
f(x)=5^x
x= -2
f(-2)= 5^-2
Negative exponents follow the rule:
x^-b= 1/x^b
Rewrite the exponent according to this rule.
5^-2=1/5^2
f(-2)= 1/5^2
Evaluate the exponent in the denominator.
5^2=5*5=25
f(-2)=1/25
f(-2) is equal to 1/25, therefore B is the correct answer.
Answer:
Reflect the parent function over the x-axis, and translate it 8 units to the left.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is
The parent function is
Since there is a negative multiply the transformed function, there is a reflection in the x-axis.
Since 8 is adding, within the square root, there is a horizontal translation of 8 units to the left.
Therefore to graph the given function, reflect the parent function over the x-axis, and translate it 8 units to the left.
Answer:
The standard deviation of that data set is 3.8
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 = 55
95% of the data fall between 47.4 and 62.6. This means that 47.4 is 2 standard deviations below the mean and 62.6 is two standard deviations above the mean.
Using one of these points.
55 + 2sd = 62.6
2sd = 7.6
sd = 7.6/2
sd = 3.8
The standard deviation of that data set is 3.8
