Answer:

g(x) exceed f(x) by $10$ when $x=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the equation of function f(x)

we know that

The initial value is the y-intercept of the linear function (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

so

$b=17$

The rate of change is equal to the slope

so

$m=-3$

therefore

$f(x)=-3x+17$

step 2

Find the equation of function g(x)

Let

$A(0,-8),B(2,0)$

Find the slope

$m=(0+8)/(2-0)=4$

$b=-8$ ----> point A

therefore

$g(x)=4x-8$

step 3

Find the value of f(x) and g(x) for $x=5$

$f(5)=-3(5)+17=2$

$g(5)=4(5)-8=12$

Find the difference

$g(5)-f(5)=12-2=10$

If 2x2 + y2 = 17 then evaluate the second derivative of y with respect to x when x = 2 and y = 3. Round your answer to 2 decimal

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

y''=-1.26

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that $2x^2+y^2=17$

We have evaluate the second order derivative of y w.r.t. x when x=2 and y=3.

Differentiate w.r.t x

Then , we get

$4x+2yy'=0$

$2x+yy'=0$

$yy'=-2x$

$y'=-\frac{2x}{y}$

Again differentiate w.r.t.x

Then , we get

$2+(y')^2+yy''=0$ $(u\cdot v)'=u'v+v'u)$

$2+(y')^2+yy''=0$

Using value of y'

$yy''=-2-(-\frac{2x}{y})^2$

$y''=-\frac{2+(-\frac{2x}{y})^2}{y}$

Substitute x=2 and y=3

Then, we get $y''=-\frac{2+(\frac{4}{3})^2}{3}$

$y''=-\frac{18+16}{9\times 3}=-\frac{34}{27}$

Hence,y''=-1.26

Legalization of marijuana, Part I. The 2010 General Social Survey asked 1,578 US res- idents: \Do you think the use of marijuana

mixer [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Sample statistics are used to estimate population value. Since 48% is a sample proportion, therefore, it is a sample statistic.

b) For 95% confidence level, z* = 1.96.

\hat{p}\pm z^* \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}= 0.61\pm 0.61\sqrt{\frac{0.61(1-0.61)}{1578}}=0.61\pm 0.024 \ or (0.586, 0.634).

We are 95% confident that the true proportion of US residents who think marijuana should be made legal lies between 58.6% and 63.4%.

c)

\\np=1578(0.61)=962.58

\\n(1-p)=1578(1-0.61)=615.42

Since both np and n(1-p), are at least 10, the normal model is a good approximation for these data.

d) As the lower limit of confidence interval is less than 0.5, less than 50% population is also a plausible value of true proportion. This means the statement "Majority of Americans think marijuana should be legalized" is not justified.

Jamal is comparing his transportation options for an upcoming trip. He’s considering a rental car and a taxi service. Based on h

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Graph A

Step-by-step explanation:

Say that the car rental rate stands for c dollars ( $ ). We know that Jamal's trip lasts for 4 days, paying $ 24 in expenses for gas, and $ 128 for taxi services. Based on these requirements for his trip the question asks for a graph that models this situation, but lets start with the inequality.

______

The big key here is the part " which graph shows the range of car rental rates that would be cheaper than the taxi service. " Our inequality must thus have the variable " c " on the same side as the payment for gas ($ 24 ), and must be less than the taxi service ( $ 128 ), or in other words a less than sign. Another point is the car rental rate. We know it stands for c, but it is dependent on the number of days. Hence we can conclude the following inequality,

24 + 4c < 128 - Subtract 24 from either side,

4c < 104 - Divide by 4 on either side, isolating c,

c < 26

The range of car rental rates that would be cheaper than the taxi service should be { c | 0 ≤ c < 26 }, knowing variable c stands for the car rental rates.

______

The graph that models this range should be the first one, option A. This graph is not accurate however, as it extends infinitely in the negative direction, and you can't have negative money, or rather be in debt - in this situation.
