Write a linear function of f with f(-3)=-2 and f(-2)=3

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

y=5x+13

Step-by-step explanation:

when x=-3, y=-2, and when x=-2, y=3. we know that every time x increases by 1, y also increases by 5. This means that the slope is 5. to find the y-intercept, we need x to be 0. to find that, increase x by 2. if x increases by 2, then y would also increase by 10. add 10 to 3 and add 2 to -2 to get x=0 and y=13. the coordinates would be (0,13). the y-intercept is 13. now that we have enough information, we can conclude that y=5x+13. To check your answer, plug in the values for x.

4.8.4 Raw materials are studied for contamination. Suppose that the number of particles of contamination per pound of material i

forsale [732]

Answer:

700 lbs and 3.742

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that raw materials are studied for contamination. Suppose that the number of particles of contamination per pound of material is a Poisson random variable with a mean of 0.02 particle per pound.

a) To get 14 particles of contamination we must have

expected number of pounds = $\frac{14}{0.02} \\=700$

b) Since for 700 pounds particles expected are 14 we can say in a Poisson distribution mean and variance are equal

i.e. Var (700 lbs to obtain 14 particles of contamination ) = 14

Std deviation = $\sqrt{14} =3.742$

What is equivalent to (3 root 8^1/4 x) ?

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The given expression is equivalent to 3(2^(3/8))x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression (3 root 8^1/4 x) can be written as:

3√(8^(1/4))x

we know that 2^3 = 8

= 3√(2^(3/4))x

We know that √x = (x)^(1/2)

= 3(2^((3/4)(1/2))x

Powers multiply with each other, 3*1/4*2 = 3/8

= 3(2^(3/8))x
