Answer:

The equation 'log Subscript 3 Baseline (negative 2 x minus 3) = 2' i.e. $\log _3\left(-2x-3\right)=2$ has x = –6 as the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Checking the equation</u>

log Subscript 3 Baseline (negative 2 x minus 3) = 2

Writing in algebraic expression

$\log _3\left(-2x-3\right)=2$

Use the logarithmic definition

$\mathrm{If}\:\log _a\left(b\right)=c\:\mathrm{then}\:b=a^c$

$\log _3\left(-2x-3\right)=2\quad \Rightarrow \quad \:-2x-3=3^2$

$-2x-3=3^2$

$-2x-3=9$

$-2x=12$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-2$

$\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{12}{-2}$

$x=-6$

Therefore, the equation 'log Subscript 3 Baseline (negative 2 x minus 3) = 2' i.e. $\log _3\left(-2x-3\right)=2$ has x = –6 as the solution.

What is 6 ones 7 hundredths -2.3

zmey [24]

6 ones 7 hundredths -2.3

We make a place chart for 6 ones 7 hundredths. We write 0 in the remaining place value.

Hundred tens Ones point tenths hundredths thousandths

0 0 6 . 0 7 0

6 one 7 hundredths is 6.07

Now subtract 2.3 from 6.07

6.07 - 2.3 = 3.77

Test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, and then state the concl

never [62]

Answer:

a) Failed to reject the null hypothesis (P-value=0.09).

b) The 95% CI for the difference in proportions is:

$-0.0599\leq\pi_1-\pi_2\leq0.0124$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have to perform a hypothesis test for the difference of proportions.

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \pi_1\geq\pi_2\\\\H_1: \pi_1$

The significance level is 0.05.

The proportion of the passenger cars owners is:

$p_1=\frac{239}{2142} =0.1116$

The proportion of commercial truck owners is:

$p_2=\frac{54}{399}=0.1353$

The weigthed average p is

$p=\frac{n_1p_1+n_2p_2}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{239+54}{2142+399}=0.1153$

The estimated standard deviation is

$s=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\frac{p(1-p)}{n_2}} =\sqrt{\frac{0.1153(1-0.1153)}{2142}+\frac{0.1153(1-0.1153)}{399}} =0.0174$

We can calculate the z-value as:

$z=\frac{\Delta p}{s}=\frac{0.1116-0.1353}{0.0174}=-1.362$

The P-value for z=-1.362 is P=0.0866.

The P-value (0.09) is greater than the significance level (0.05), so it failed to reject the null hypothesis. There is no enough evidence to prove that commercial trucks owners violate laws requiring front license plates at a higher rate than owners of passenger cars.

b) We can construct a 95% CI, according to the significance level of 0.05.

The z-value for this CI is 1.96.

We have to recalculate the standard deviation:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p_1(1-p_1)}{n_1} +\frac{p_2(1-p_2)}{n_2}} =\sqrt{\frac{0.1116(1-0.1116)}{2142} +\frac{0.1353(1-0.1353)}{399}} =0.0184$

The lower limit is then:

$LL=(p_1-p_2)-z*\sigma=(0.1116-0.1353)-1.96*0.0184=-0.0238-0.0361\\\\LL=-0.0599$

The upper limit is:

$UL=(p_1-p_2)+z*\sigma=(0.1116-0.1353)+1.96*0.0184=-0.0238+0.0361\\\\UL=0.0124$

The 95% CI for the difference in proportions is:

$-0.0599\leq\pi_1-\pi_2\leq0.0124$

In this case, we can conclude that the difference between the proportions, with 95% confidence, can still be equal or greater than zero, meaning that it is possible passenger car owners violate laws more than truck owners.

Which situation can be modeled by the inequality 50−12x≥8?

Nadya [2.5K]

4⅚ ≥ x; subtract fifty-eight from both sides, divide by -12 from both sides, and you will have your answer.

NOTE: This is where you reverse your inequality symbol [dividing or multiplying by a negative].

The mapping diagram shows a functional relationship

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

$f(4)=\frac{1}{2}$

f(x) = 4 when x is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is the set of x values that make the function defined. Allowed x values for the function (mapping).

The Range is the set of y values that make the function defined. Allowed y values for the function (mapping).

Whenever we need to find f(a), suppose, then we look for "a" in the domain and see its corresponding value mapping in the range.
Whenever we will be given a value for f(x) = a, suppose, and we have to find "x", we look at the value a in the range and find corresponding x value in the domain.

Firstly, we need f(4), so we look for "4" in domain and see which number it corresponds to in range.

That is $\frac{1}{2}$

Thus,

$f(4)=\frac{1}{2}$

Next,

We want "x" value that gives us a "y" value of 4. We look for "4" in the range and see which value it corresponds to. That is "8". So,

f(8) = 4
