The function f(x) = a^x + 4 will never cross the x-axis if a is positive. True or False?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

If a is negative then the shape of the graph is an upside down U, which intersects the x-axis. If a is positive it will never cross the X axis.

Answer 2

It is true that f(x)=[tex]a^{x}[/tex]+4 will never cross the x axis if a is positive.

What is function?

Function is relationship between two or more that are variables expressed in equal to form. In a function each value of x must have a corresponding value of y.

How to find x intercept?

We have been given that f(x)=[tex]a^{x} +4[/tex] and we have to find whether it will cross x axis or not.

when a line crosses the x axis the value of y becomes negative. We have to first check at y=0.

[tex]a^{x}+4[/tex]=0

[tex]a^{x}[/tex]=-4

taking log both sides,

log [tex]a^{x}[/tex]=log(-4)

x log a=0.602059991+1.3437635i

x=(0.602059991+1.3437635i)/log a

when we put the value of x in f(x) the value of f(x) cannot be negative so it cannot crosses the x axis.

Hence it is true that f(x)=[tex]a^{x}[/tex]+4 will never cross the x axis if a is positive.

Given P(A) = 0.3, P(B) 0.63 and P(BA) = 0.79, find the value of
P(A and B), rounding to the nearest thousandth, if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

P(A and B) = 0.14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Venn probabilities:

Suppose we have two events, A and B. The probability P(A and B) is given by:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cup B)[/tex]

In which [tex]P(A \cup B)[/tex] is P(A or B).

In this question:

P(A) = 0.3, P(B) = 0.63, P(A or B) = 0.79. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cup B) = 0.3 + 0.63 - 0.79 = 0.93 - 0.79 = 0.14[/tex]

So

P(A and B) = 0.14.

Help with volume all help is appreciated :)

Answers

Answer:

It would be 0.41 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, to start, lets get the volume of the entire cinder block and the holes within it.

1.31 * 0.66 * 0.66 ---> 0.5706...

Next with the holes, they are both 0.33 wide, 0.39 long, and just as tall at 0.66 feet.

0.33 * 0.39 * 0.66 ---> 0.0849...

Since there's two of them: 0.1698...

To finish it, subtract the hole volume from the total volume;

0.5806 - 0.1698 = 0.4108

Fat Kat's offers a special on large two topping pizzas. In how many different ways can you order a two topping pizza if you can choose from 18 toppings? NO LINKS!!!​

Answers

Answer:   153

=======================================================

Explanation:

There are 18 ways to pick the first topping and 18-1 = 17 ways to pick the next topping. Picking the same topping again doesn't make much sense (though I suppose it could mean that you just want more of that topping than usual?), so that's why we have the 18 drop to 17 when making that second selection.

If the order of toppings mattered, then we'd have 18*17 = 306 permutations. However, the order of toppings doesn't matter. All that matters is the group rather than the individual toppings. When counting out the 306 permutations, we've overcounted by a factor of 2. In other words, we've double counted.  

So we must divide by 2 to fix this double count. That leads to 306/2 = 153 combinations

------------------------

The alternative method involves using the nCr combination formula

Use n = 18 and r = 2 in this formula

[tex]_n C _r = \frac{n!}{r!*(n-r)!}[/tex]

Kelly is using a rectangular container to fill up a bucket of water. The container is 3.8 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and 7.2 inches tall. If the bucket holds 1,368 cubic inches of water, how many times will Kelly have to fill the cup in order to fill the bucket

Answers

Answer:

Kelly will have to fill the cup 20 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cube:

Rectangular cube, so the volume of the cube is the multiplication of its three dimensions(3.8 inches, 2.5 inches and 7.2 inches).

V = 3.8*2.5*7.2 = 68.4 cubic inches.

If the bucket holds 1,368 cubic inches of water, how many times will Kelly have to fill the cup in order to fill the bucket?

Solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

1 time - 68.4 cubic inches

x times - 1368 cubic inches

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]68.4x = 1368[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{1368}{68.4}[/tex]

[tex]x = 20[/tex]

Kelly will have to fill the cup 20 times.

A rectangular garden is to be constructed using a rock wall as one side of the garden and wire fencing for the other three sides. Given that there are 56 meters of fencing available, determine the dimensions that would create the garden of maximum area. You may enter an exact answer or round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer:

x  =  28 m

y  =  14  m

A(max)  =  392 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangular garden    A (r ) =  x * y

Let´s call x the side of the rectangle to be constructed with a rock wall, then only one x side of the rectangle will be fencing with wire.

the perimeter of the rectangle is  p  =  2*x  +  2*y    ( but in this particular case only one side x will be fencing with wire

56   =   x    +  2*y      56   -  2*y  =  x

A(r)   =  ( 56  -  2*y ) * y

A(y ) =  56*y  -  2*y²

Tacking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

A´(y )  =  56  - 4 * y        A´(y) = 0     56  -  4*y  =  0    4*y  =  56

y =  14 m

and x  =  56  - 2*y    =  56 - 28  = 28 m

Then dimensions of the garden:

x  =  28 m

y  =  14  m

A(max)  =  392 m²

How do we know that the area we found is a local maximum??

We find the second derivative

A´´(y)  = - 4     A´´(y)  <  0   then the function A(y) has a local maximum at y = 14 m

If y is inversely proportional to (tan x) and y = 2
when x = 30°, find the value of y when this value
of x is doubled.​

Answers

Answer:

When something is inversely proportional it can be solved by using the equation:

y = k/x

where k is the constant.

So using this we can plug in x and y to find the value of k.

3 = k/4.

Next we isolate k and find that k = 12. Now we use this to find the value of y when x = 8. Plug in x and you get y = 12/8 or y = 3/2 or 1.5.

Another way to solve this is to look at how the value of x changes. When the value of x goes up, the value of y goes down.

In other words, when x is multiplied by some number, y is divided by that number. In this equation we can see that x is multiplied by 2 to go from 4 to 8.

Thus, y must be divided by 2.

Thus, y = 3/2 or 1.5.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y is inversely proportional to tan x means  

                                                            [tex]y \ \alpha \ \frac{1}{tan x}\\\\y = k \times \frac{1}{tanx}[/tex]

Given y = 2 when x =30° . So we will find k.

                            [tex]y =k \times \frac{1}{tanx } \\\\2 = k \times \frac{1}{tan 30}\\\\k = 2 \times tan 30 = 2 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3} }[/tex]

Now x is doubled, x = 60°, find y

                         [tex]y = k \times \frac{1}{tanx}\\[/tex]

                            [tex]= \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{1}{tan 60}\\\\= \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \times \sqrt{3}\\\\=2[/tex]

Imagine a simple process in which 5 ticket booths are selling tickets for an opera. If customers are coming at a rate of 15 / hour, and the utilization of the 5 booths is 50%, then how long does a customer spend at a booth (each customer goes to only one booth)?

Answers

Answer: The customer spends 10 minutes at a booth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n= number of booths, [tex]\rho[/tex] = utilization, [tex]\lambda[/tex] = arrival rate, [tex]\mu=[/tex]Service rate

We know that

[tex]\rho=\dfrac{\lambda}{\mu\times n}[/tex]

As per given,

[tex]0.5=\dfrac{15}{\mu\times5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \mu=\dfrac{15}{5\times0.5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \mu=6[/tex]

Service rate = 6 customers per hour.

Time taken by each customer = [tex]\frac{1}{\mu}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{1}{6} \ hours \ or\ \dfrac{60}{6}\ minutes\\\\=10 \ minutes[/tex]

Hence, the customer spends 10 minutes at a booth.

What is Function?

In mathematics, a function is an expression, rule, or law that establishes a relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable (the dependent variable). In mathematics, functions exist everywhere, and they are crucial for constructing physical links in the sciences.

The graph leads to the following finding:

The values of f(-1) for x = -1 are -1 and -3.

The function does, however, have a closed circle at f(-1) = 1.

The function has an open circle at f(-1) = -3.

A closed circle represents inclusive principles.

Hence, the graph's value for f(-1) is 1.

if you were to too a dice one time what is the odds of rolling a number less than three?

Answers

Answer:

1/3 or 33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular dice has 6 sides each with a single number from 1 to 6. Therefore, there are a total of 6 possible outcomes. Out of all of these only two outcomes are actually less than three and those are the numbers 1 and 2. Meaning, that if the dice were rolled only a single time then the probability of rolling a number less than 3 would be 2/6 or 1/3 (simplified). As a percentage, this probability would be 33.33%

Here is the function for the number of zombies, N, after t years, with the negative exponent expressed using the fraction ½:

N(t) = 300 • 0.5t/8

What is the half-life for the zombie population?

Answers

Answer:

The half-life for the zombie population is of 8 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equation:

An exponential equation has the following format:

[tex]N(t) = N(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]

In which N(0) is the initial value and the part [tex](1-r)^t[/tex] is related to the decay.

In this question:

[tex]N(t) = 300(0.5)^{\frac{t}{8}}[/tex]

Thus N(0) = 300, that is, initial population of 300.

What is the half-life for the zombie population?

This is t for which N(t) = 0.5*300 = 150. So

[tex]N(t) = 300(0.5)^{\frac{t}{8}}[/tex]

[tex]150 = 300(0.5)^{\frac{t}{8}}[/tex]

[tex](0.5)^{\frac{t}{8}} = \frac{150}{300}[/tex]

[tex](0.5)^{\frac{t}{8}} = 0.5[/tex]

[tex](0.5)^{\frac{t}{8}} = (0.5)^1[/tex]

Equal exponents, so:

[tex]\frac{t}{8} = 1[/tex]

[tex]t = 8[/tex]

The half-life for the zombie population is of 8 years.
