<h3>Answer: 83.85%</h3>
This value is approximate.
==========================================================
Explanation:
Let's compute the z score for x = 40
z = (x-mu)/sigma
z = (40-47)/7
z = -1
We're exactly one standard deviation below the mean.
Repeat these steps for x = 68
z = (x-mu)/sigma
z = (68-47)/7
z = 3
This score is exactly three standard deviations above the mean.
Now refer to the Empirical Rule chart below. We'll add up the percentages that are between z = -1 and z = 3. This consists of the two pink regions (each 34%), the right blue region (13.5%) and the right green region (2.35%). These percentages are approximate.
34+34+13.5+2.35 = 83.85
<u>Roughly 83.85%</u> of the one-mile roadways have between 40 and 68 potholes.
Answer as an inequality:
Answer in interval notation:
Answer in words: Set of positive real numbers
All three represent the same idea, but in different forms.
======================================================
Explanation:
Any log is the inverse of an exponential equation. Consider a general base b such that f(x) = b^x. The inverse of this is
For the exponential b^x, we cannot have b^x = 0. We can get closer to it, but we can't actually get there. The horizontal asymptote is y = 0.
Because of this, has a vertical asymptote x = 0 (recall that x and y swap, so the asymptotes swap as well). This means we can get closer and closer to x = 0 from the positive side, but never reach x = 0 itself.
The domain of is x > 0 which in interval notation would be
. This is the interval from 0 to infinity, excluding both endpoints.
------------------------
The natural log function Ln(x) is a special type of log function where the base is b = e = 2.718 approximately.
So,
allowing all of what was discussed in the previous section to apply to this Ln(x) function as well.
------------------------
In short, the domain is the set of positive real numbers. We can't have x be 0 or negative.
