Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=x^2$

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex represent a minimum

The vertex is the point (0,0)

The general shape of a parabola is the shape of a "pointy" letter "u," or a slightly rounded letter, "v."

If the function is negative

then

$f(x)=-x^2$

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex represent a maximum

The vertex is the point (0,0)

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

What is the length of the diagonal?

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The value of <em>x </em>is equal to 26 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem.

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

$a=10\\b=24\\c=?$

$10^2+24^2=c^2$

$100+576=c^2$

$676=c^2$

$\sqrt{676} =\sqrt{c^2}$

$26=c$

Use the sample data and confidence level to construct the confidence interval estimate of the population proportion p. n equals

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

(0.767,0.833)

Step-by-step explanation:

The 95% confidence interval for population proportion p can be computed as

$p-z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }$

The z-value associated with 95% confidence level is 1.96.

whereas p=x/n

We are given that x=440 and n=550.

p=440/550=0.8

$0.8-1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.8(0.2)}{550} }$

$0.8-1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.16}{550} }$

$0.8-1.96\sqrt{0.00029 }$

$0.8-1.96(0.01706)$

$0.8-0.03343$

$0.76657$

Thus, the required confidence interval is

0.767<P<0.833 (rounded to 3 decimal places)

Hence, we are 95% confident that our true population proportion will lie in the interval (0.767,0.833)

A typical television newscast has three cameras. The center camera directly faces the news anchors desk. The other two cameras a

Now we'll continue to use the +/- 30 degree coverage for the other two cameras. The second camera is aimed at 45 degrees, so it's range of coverage is 15 degrees to 75 degrees (45 +/- 30). Notice that the range from 15 degrees to 30 degrees is covered by 2 cameras. Now the 3rd camera is pointed at -45 degrees, so its coverage is from -15 degrees to -75 degrees. It also has an overlap with the 1st camera from -15 to -30 degrees. The total coverage of all three cameras ranges from -75 degrees to 75 degrees. That means that an arc of 150 degrees in total is covered by all three cameras.</span>
