We are given the following function and want to find the y-intercept:

$f(x)=2(x-7)^2-32$

Just substitute the value x=0 into the equation to find the value of the y-intercept:

$y=2(0-7)^2-32$

Simplify

$=2(49)-32$

Simplify again

$=66$

Since the value of f(x), or y, when x=0 is 66, the y-intercept of this function is 66.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

floodwaters are used to prevent damage from floods. A town built a floodwall 4 4/8 feet tall. Another town built a floodwall 7 1

Sveta_85 [38]

It's basic subtraction. you subtract 7 1/8 with 4 4/8 by turning one of the one from the seven to 8/8 and add that to 1/8 so you get 9/8. Then 6 9/8 - 4 4/8 = 2 5/8.

A publisher reports that 54% of their readers own a particular make of car. A marketing executive wants to test the claim that t

dalvyx [7]

Answer and explanation:

Null hypothesis: p is not 54%

Alternative hypothesis : p is equal 54%

First find standard deviation

Standard deviation is:

σ = √[ P ( 1 - P ) / n ] = √[ 0.54×0.46/220 ] =0.033

The z score is calculated p-P/σ = (0.54-0.50)/0.033 = 1.2121

Therefore we can conclude that proportions are not same and fail to reject the null hypothesis

In 1985, there were 285 cell phone subscribers in Arlington. The number of subscribers increased by 75% per year since 1985. Fin

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The number of subscribers in 2008 is 110,845,988

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of cell phone subscribers in Arlington, in t years after 1985, can be modeled by the following equation.

$N(t) = N(0)(1+r)^{t}$

And which N(0) is the number of subscribers in 1985 and r is the rate it increases per year, as a decimal.

In 1985, there were 285 cell phone subscribers in Arlington.

This means that $N(0) = 285$

The number of subscribers increased by 75% per year since 1985.

This means that $r = 0.75$

$N(t) = 285(1.75)^{t}$

Find the number of subscribers in 2008.

2008 is 2008-1985 = 23 years after 1985. So we have to find N(23).

$N(23) = 285(1.75)^{23} = 110,845,988$

The number of subscribers in 2008 is 110,845,988
