Question:

The quantities x and y are proportional.

x y

5.8 7.5

11.2

Find the constant of proportionality (r) in the equation y=rx

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is 75/58 or 1.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The table above

Required

Find the constant of proportionality

The question has an incomplete table but it can still be solved because x and y are proportional.

Given that

y = rx

Make r the subject of formula

Divide through by x

y/x = rx

y/x = r

r = y/x

When y = 7.5, x = 5.8

Substitute these values

r = y/x becomes

r = 7.5/5.8

Multiply denominator and numerator by 10

r = (7.5 * 10)/(5.8 * 10)

r = 75/58

In this case, it's best to leave the answer in fraction.

However, it can be solved further.

r = 75/58

r = 1.29 (Approximated)

Hence, the constant of proportionality is 75/58 or 1.29

An certain brand of upright freezer is available in three different rated capacities: 16 ft3, 18 ft3, and 20 ft3. Let X = the ra
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

E(X)=16\cdot 0.3+18\cdot 0.1+20\cdot 0.6=18.6

E(X^2)=16^2\cdot 0.3+18^2\cdot 0.1+20^2\cdot 0.6=349.2

V(X) = E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2=349.2-(18.6)^2=3.24

The expected price paid by the next customer to buy a freezer is $466

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given we know the probability mass function (pmf) of random variable X.

\left|\begin{array}{c|ccc}x&16&18&20\\p(x)&0.3&0.1&0.6\end{array}\right|

<em>Point a:</em>

  • The Expected value or the mean value of X with set of possible values D, denoted by <em>E(X)</em> or <em>μ </em>is

E(X) = $\sum_{x\in D} x\cdot p(x)

Therefore

E(X)=16\cdot 0.3+18\cdot 0.1+20\cdot 0.6=18.6

  • If the random variable X has a set of possible values D and a probability mass function, then the expected value of any function h(X), denoted by <em>E[h(X)]</em> is computed by

E[h(X)] = $\sum_{D} h(x)\cdot p(x)

So h(X) = X^2 and

E[h(X)] = $\sum_{D} h(x)\cdot p(x)\\E[X^2]=$\sum_{D}x^2\cdot p(x)\\ E(X^2)=16^2\cdot 0.3+18^2\cdot 0.1+20^2\cdot 0.6\\E(X^2)=349.2

  • The variance of X, denoted by V(X), is

V(X) = $\sum_{D}E[(X-\mu)^2]=E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2

Therefore

V(X) = E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2\\V(X)=349.2-(18.6)^2\\V(X)=3.24

<em>Point b:</em>

We know that the price of a freezer having capacity X is 60X − 650, to find the expected price paid by the next customer to buy a freezer you need to:

From the rules of expected value this proposition is true:

E(aX+b)=a\cdot E(x)+b

We have a = 60, b = -650, and <em>E(X)</em> = 18.6. Therefore

The expected price paid by the next customer is

60\cdot E(X)-650=60\cdot 18.6-650=466

If p is a polynomial show that lim x→ap(x)=p(a
Lostsunrise [7]

Let p(x) be a polynomial, and suppose that a is any real number. Prove that

lim x→a p(x) = p(a) .

 

Solution. Notice that

 

2(−1)4 − 3(−1)3 − 4(−1)2 − (−1) − 1 = 1 .

 

So x − (−1) must divide 2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 − x − 2. Do polynomial long division to get 2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 – x – 2 / (x − (−1)) = 2x^3 − 5x^2 + x – 2.

 

Let ε > 0. Set δ = min{ ε/40 , 1}. Let x be a real number such that 0 < |x−(−1)| < δ. Then |x + 1| < ε/40 . Also, |x + 1| < 1, so −2 < x < 0. In particular |x| < 2. So

 

|2x^3 − 5x^2 + x − 2| ≤ |2x^3 | + | − 5x^2 | + |x| + | − 2|

= 2|x|^3 + 5|x|^2 + |x| + 2

< 2(2)^3 + 5(2)^2 + (2) + 2

= 40

 

Thus, |2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 − x − 2| = |x + 1| · |2x^3 − 5x^2 + x − 2| < ε/40 · 40 = ε.

What is the range of the function graphed below?
Xelga [282]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: B is the correct answer.

The range of the function is:

        B.      5 < y < ∞

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Range of a function--

The range of a function is the set of all the values that is attained by the function.

By looking at the graph of the function we see that the function tends to 5 when x→ -∞ and the function tends to infinity when x →∞

Also, the function is a strictly increasing function.

This means that the function takes every real value between 5 and ∞ .

i.e. The range of the function is: (5,∞)

          Hence, the answer is:

                Option: B

One fourth of all telephones at the office have built in speaker phones. One -half the phones with the built-in speaker phones h
Helga [31]

Answer:

\frac{1}{8} of the phones in office has both a speaker phone and a conference-call capability

Step-by-step explanation:

Since total number of phones in the office is not given, the answer will be "in that terms".

let it be x

So built in speaker phones is (1/4)x

Hence conference call phones would be (1/2)(1/4x) = (1/8)x

Hence "1/8th of the phones in office has both a speaker phone and a conference-call capability"
