Answer:

The expression used to represent g(x) as inverse of f(x) is $\frac{1}{5}(5x-25)+5$

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

$f(x)= 5x-25\\g(x)=\frac{1}{5}x+5$

We need to find the expression that could be used to verify g(x) is the inverse of f(x).

We know that $g(f(x))=x$ is inverse of function

So placing value of f(x) in g(x)

$g(f(x))=\frac{1}{5}(5x-25)+5$

So, the expression used to represent g(x) as inverse of f(x) is $\frac{1}{5}(5x-25)+5$

Option B is correct.

We can also solve to prove that $g(f(x))=x$

$g(f(x))=\frac{1}{5}(5x-25)+5\\g(f(x))=\frac{5}{5}(x-5)+5\\g(f(x))=x-5+5\\g(f(x))=x$

True [87]

Answer:

a) 57.35%

b) 99.99%

c) 68.27%

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a random variable X that is normally distributed with mean $\large\bf \mu$ and standard deviation $\large\bf \sigma$ , then

The probability that the random variable has a value less than a, P(X < a) = P(X ≤ a) is the area under the normal curve with mean $\large\bf \mu$ and standard deviation $\large\bf \sigma$ to the left of a.

The probability that the random variable has a value greater than b, P(X > b) = P(X ≥ b) is the area under the normal curve with mean $\large\bf \mu$ and standard deviation $\large\bf \sigma$ to the right of b.

The probability that the random variable has a value between a and b, P(a < X < b) = P(a ≤ X ≤ b) = P(a < X ≤ b)= P(a ≤ X < b) is the area under the normal curve with mean $\large\bf \mu$ and standard deviation $\large\bf \sigma$ between a and b.

In this case, the random variable is the collagen amount found in the extract of the plant. The mean is 63 g/ml and the standard deviation is 5.4 g/ml

(a) What is the probability that the amount of collagen is greater than 62 grams per mililiter?

As we have seen, we need to find the area under the normal curve with mean 63 and standard deviation 5.4 to the right of 62 (see picture).

You can find this value easily with a calculator or a spreadsheet. If you prefer the old-style, then you have to standardize the values and look up in a table.

If you have access to Excel or OpenOffice Calc, you can find this value by introducing the formula:

1- NORMDIST(62,63,5.4,1) in Excel

1 - NORMDIST(62;63;5.4;1) in OpenOffice Calc

and we will get a value of 0.5735 or 57.35%

(b) What is the probability that the amount of collagen is less than 90 grams per mililiter?

Now we want the area to the left of 90

NORMDIST(90,63,5.4,1) in Excel

NORMDIST(90;63;5.4;1) in OpenOffice Calc

You will get a value of 0.9999 or 99.99%

(c) What percentage of compounds formed from the extract of this plant fall within 1 standard deviations of the mean?

You can use either the rule that 68.27% of the data falls between $\large\bf \mu -\sigma$ and $\large\bf \mu +\sigma$ or compute area between 63 - 5.4 and 63 + 5.4, that is to say, the area between 57.6 and 68.4

In Excel

NORMDIST(68.4,63,5.4,1) - NORMDIST(57.6,63,5.4,1)

In OpenOffice Calc

NORMDIST(68.4;63;5.4;1) - NORMDIST(57.6;63;5.4;1)

In any case we get a value of 0.6827 or 68.27%

Luz drives at an average speed of 45 miles per hour. She has driven for 3 hours and has travelled a distance of 135 miles. This

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

$(y-135)=45(x-3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the number of hours and y represents the number of miles.

We are told that Luz drives at an average speed of 45 miles per hour. She has driven for 3 hours and has traveled a distance of 135 miles.

We can see from our given information that slope of line is 45 as with each increase in number of hours (x), change in distance (y) is 45.

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\frac{135-0}{3-0}$

$m=\frac{135}{3}$

$m=45$

Since the equation of line in point-slope form is : $(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)$ , where m represents slope of line and $(y_1,x_1)$ represents a point the line passes through.

Upon substituting our given values in point-slope form of equation we will get,

$(y-135)=45(x-3)$

Therefore, the equation represented in point-slope form will be: $(y-135)=45(x-3)$ .

DanielleElmas [232]

We are given in this item that the elevation required for flying a plane is 500 m or higher. This concept can also be expressed as, ''elevation must be at least 500m''. Further, this can be expressed as,
''elevation should be greater than or equal to 500m''

If this is to be translated to the mathematical inequality, the answer would be,
h ≥ 500 m
