A certain weightlifter is prone to back injury. He finds that he has a 20% chance of hurting his back if he uses the proper form

of bending at the hips and keeping his spine locked. The probability that he will hurt his back with bad form is 95%. The probability that he uses proper form is 75%. What is the probability he hurts his back

Answer:

Probability weightlifter hurts his back = 0.3875 i.e 38.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of using right body form = 75%

Probability of using bad body form : 1 - Prob (right body form) = 1 - 75% = 25%  

Probability of getting injured if right body form = 20%

Probability of getting injured if using bad body form = 95%

  • Probability of getting injury :

Prob (Right body form & injury) or Prob (wrong body firm & injury)

(0.75) (0.20) + (0.25) (0.95)

0.15 + 0.2375

= 0.3875 i.e 38.75%

Carolina is mowing lawns for a summer job. For every mowing job, she charges an initial fee plus \$6$6dollar sign, 6 for each ho
Margarita [4]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

t: number of hours

F (t): total charge

We write the function that models the problem:

F (t) = 6t + b

Where,

b: represents an initial fee.

We must find the value of b.

For this, we use the following data:

Her total fee for a 4-hour job, for instance, is $ 32.

We have then:

32 = 6 (4) + b

From here, we clear the value of b:

32 = 24 + b

32-24 = b

b = 8

Then, the function that models the problem is:

F (t) = 6t + 8

Answer:

the function's formula is:

F (t) = 6t + 8

Unless otherwise specified, the domain of a function f is assumed to be the set of all real numbers x for which f(x) is a real n
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is a piecewise function defined as:

N(t)=\left \{ {{25t+150} \ 0 \leq t \leq 6 \atop {\frac{200+80t}{2+0.05t} \ t \geq 8}} \right.

a)

We need to find the limit of the function as t goes to infinity. This means what is the max value of fish in the pond given times goes to infinity (on an on).

We will take the 2nd part of the equation since t falls into that range, t is infinity, which is definitely greater than 8.

\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{200+80t}{2+0.05t} \\\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{80t}{0.05t}\\ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{80}{0.05} =1600

This means the maximum number of fish at this pond is 1600, no matter how long it goes on.

b)

A function is continuous at a point if we have the limit and the functional value at that point same.

Functional value at t = 8 is (we use 2nd part of equation):

\frac{200+80t}{2+0.05t}\\\frac{200+80(8)}{2+0.05(8)}\\=350

We do have a value and limit also goes to this as t approaches 8.

So, function is continuous at t = 8

c)

We want to find is there a "time" when the number of fishes in the pond is 250, during t from 0 to 6. We plug in 250 into N(t) and try to find t. Make sure to use the 1st part of the piece-wise function. Shown below:

N(t)=25t+150\\250=25t+150\\25t=250-150\\25t=100\\t=4

The time is 4 years when the number of fishes in the pond is 250

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
