A biologist took a count of the number of fish in a particular lake and recounted the lake’s population of fish each of the next

six weeks.
Week 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Population 350 353 382 437 518 625 758

Find a quadratic function that models the data as a function of x, the number of weeks. Use the model to estimate the number of fish at the lake on week 8.

(1 point)


•P(x) = 13x2 – 10x + 350; 917 fish
•P(x) = 13x2 – 10x + 350; 1,102 fish
•P(x) = 18x2 + 10x + 300; 1,252 fish
•P(x) = 18x2 + 10x + 300; 1,532 fish

The <em>correct answer</em> is:

P(x) = 13x² – 10x + 350; 1,102 fish

Explanation:

I plotted this data in a graphing calculator. The screenshot is attached. You can see the curve of the parabola in the graph. I then ran the quadratic regression; again, the screenshot is attached. It lists the values of a, b and c for the equation y = ax²+bx+c.

The correct answer to this question is "<span>P(x) = 13x2 – 10x + 350; 1,102 fish."</span>

Start by plugging 0 into the equation and see which ones give you 350 back. Those equations are the right ones.

Once you find the right equation(s) plug 8 in for x and that will give you the second answer.

Show that there do not exist scalars c1, c2, and c3 such that c1(1, 0, 1, 0) + c2(1, 0, -2, 1) + c3(2, 0, 1, 2) = (1, -2, 2, 3)
Aloiza [94]

Write the system in augmented-matrix form:

c_1(1,0,1,0)+c_2(1,0,-2,1)+c_3(2,0,1,2)=(1,-2,2,3)

\iff\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&2&1\\0&0&0&-2\\1&-2&1&2\\0&1&2&3\end{array}\right]

Row reduce this matrix:

  • Add -1(row 1) to row 3:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&2&1\\0&0&0&-2\\0&-3&-1&1\\0&1&2&3\end{array}\right]

  • Add 3(row 4) to row 3:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&2&1\\0&0&0&-2\\0&0&5&10\\0&1&2&3\end{array}\right]

  • Multiply row 3 by 1/5:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&2&1\\0&0&0&-2\\0&0&1&2\\0&1&2&3\end{array}\right]

  • Add -2(row 3) to row 4:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&2&1\\0&0&0&-2\\0&0&1&2\\0&1&0&-1\end{array}\right]

  • Add -2(row 3) and -1(row 4) to row 1:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&0&-2\\0&0&0&-2\\0&0&1&2\\0&1&0&-1\end{array}\right]

This matrix tells us that c_1=-2, c_2=-1, and c_3=2, but clearly 0c_1+0c_2+0c_3=0\neq-2, so there is no solution.

Calculate 12 x 15 by changing the numbers into friendlier numbers as we saw in the videos. Show how you work it out – write out
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The product 12 × 15 in friendlier numbers is (10 + 2) × (10 + 5) = 180

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameter given are;

To 12 × 15 by changing the numbers into friendlier numbers

The product in 12 × 15 written with friendlier numbers (or in a simplified format can be given as follows;

12 × 15 = (10 + 2) × (10 + 5)

Which gives;

(10 + 2) × (10 + 5) = 10² + 10 × 5 + 2 × 10 + 2 × 5

From which we have;

10² + 10 × 5 + 2 × 10 + 2 × 5 = 100 + 50 + 20 + 10 = 180

Therefore;

12 × 15 = 180.

An example problem in a Statistics textbook asked to find the probability of dying when making a skydiving jump.
MArishka [77]

Answer:

(a) 0.999664

(b) 15052

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data of recent years,  there were about 3,000,000 skydiving jumps and 21 of them resulted in deaths.

So, the probability of death is \frac{21}{3000000}==0.000007.

Assuming, this probability holds true for each skydiving and does not change in the present time.

So, as every skydiving is an independent event having a fixed probability of dying and there are only two possibilities, the diver will either die or survive, so, all skydiving can be regarded as is Bernoulli's trial.

Denoting the probability of dying in a single jump by q.

q=7\times 10^{-6}=0.000007.

So, the probability of survive, p=1-q

\Rightarrow p=1-7\times 10^{-6}=0.999993.

(a) The total number of jump he made, n=48

Using Bernoulli's equation, the probability of surviving in exactly 48 jumps (r=48) out of 48 jumps (n=48) is

=\binom(n,r)p^rq^{n-r}

=\binom(48,48)(0.999993)^{48}(0.000007)^{48-48}

=(0.999993)^{48}=0.999664 (approx)

So, the probability of survive in 48 skydiving is 0.999664,

(b) The given probability of surviving =90%=0.9

Let, total n skydiving jumps required to meet the surviving probability of 0.9.

So, By using Bernoulli's equation,

0.9=\binom {n }{r} p^rq^{n-r}

Here, r=n.

\Rightarrow 0.9=\binom{n}{n}p^nq^{n-n}

\Rightarrow 0.9=p^n

\Rightarrow 0.9=(0.999993)^n

\Rightarrow \ln(0.9)=n\ln(0.999993) [ taking \log_e both sides]

\Rightarrow n=\frac {\ln(0.9)}{\ln(0.999993)}

\Rightarrow n=15051.45

The number of diving cant be a fractional value, so bound it to the upper integral value.

Hence, the total number of skydiving required to meet the 90% probability of surviving is 15052.

A toy store owner purchased 70 puppets for $1006. She sold them for $1412. How much profit did she make per puppet?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

5.80

Step-by-step explanation:

How much was the total profit

1412 -1006

406

She sold 70 puppets

The profit per puppet is the profit divided by the number of puppets

406/70

5.80

Identify the key characteristics of the parent fifth-root function f (x) = ^5sqrtx. Include the following: domain, range, interv
Andre45 [30]

Given functin is :

f\left(x\right)=\sqrt[5]{x}

We know that the domain of the expression is all real numbers except where the expression is undefined. In given function, there is no real number that makes the expression undefined. Hence domain is all real numbers.

Domain: (-∞,∞)

Range is the set of y-values obtained by plugging values from domain so the range will also same.

Range: (-∞,∞)

If we increase value of x then y-value will also increase so that means it is an INCREASING function. You can also verify that from graph.

It crosses x and y-axes both at the origin

Hence x-intercept=0 and y-intercept=0

Graph is not symmetric about y-axis hence it can't be EVEN

Graph is not symmetric about origin so it is ODD.

There is  no breaking point in the graph so that means it is a Continuous function.

There is no hoirzontal or vertical or slant line which seems to be appearing to touch the graph at infinity so there is NO asymptote.

END behaviour means how y-changes when x approaches infinity.

From graph we can see that when x-approaches -∞ then y also approaches ∞.

when x-approaches +∞ then y also approaches +∞.
