Let f(x)=x+8 and g(x)= x2-6x-7 find f(g2)
Answer:
-7.
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x) = x^2 - 6x - 7
g(2) = 2^2 - 6(2) - 7
= 4 - 12 - 7
= -8 - 7
= -15
f(x) = x + 8
f(-15) = (-15) + 8

Which of the following is an arithmetic sequence? A.-2, 4, -6, 8, ... B.2, 4, 8, 16, ... C.-8, -6, -4, -2, ...
Answer:
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ...
Step-by-step explanation:
An arithmetic sequence increases by the same amount every time through addition or subtraction. There is a common difference.
A: -2, 4, -6, 8, ... If there were a common difference, the numbers would not switch between being positive and back to negative. The numbers would either keep going positive or keep going negative.
B: 2, 4, 8, 16, ... The common difference between 16 and 8 is 16 - 8 = 8. The difference between 8 and 4 is 8 - 4 = 4. Since the difference changes between the numbers, this is not an arithmetic sequence.
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ... The common difference between -2 and -4 is -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2. The difference between -4 and -6 is -4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2. The difference between -6 and -8 is -6 - (-8) = -6 + 8 = 2. Since the common difference is always two, this is an arithmetic sequence.

In a survey of 15000 students of different schools, 40% of them were found to have tuition before the see examination. Among them 50% studied only mathematics ,30% only science and 10% studied others subject. how many student studied mathematics as well as science.
Answer: 600 students.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, we start with 15,000 students.
40% of them had tuition, so the actual number of them that had tuition is:
15,000*0.40 = 6,000.
Now we want to find the number of students that studied math and science.
50% only studied math,
30% only studied science
10% studied other subjects.
So 50% + 30% + 10% did NOT studied both math and science
90% is the percentage that did not study math and mathematics as well as science, then the other 10% did.
Then, out of the 6,000 students that had tuition, 10% studied math and science, the total number is:
6,000*0.10 = 600
Brian needs to paint a logo using two right triangles. The dimensions of the logo are shown below. What is the difference between the area of the large triangle and the area of the small triangle?
Answer:
7.5 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimensions of the large ∆:
[tex] base (b) = 3cm, height (h) = 9cm [/tex]
[tex] Area = 0.5*b*h = 0.5*3*9 = 13.5 cm^2 [/tex]
Dimensions of the small ∆:
[tex] base (b) = 2cm, height (h) = 6cm [/tex]
[tex] Area = 0.5*b*h = 0.5*2*6 = 6 cm^2 [/tex]
Difference between the area of the large and the small ∆ = 13.5 - 6 = 7.5 cm²

Which values, if any, are unusual? Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box within your choice. A. The unusual value(s) is/are nothing. (Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) B. None of the values are unusual.
Answer:
The z-score for 1880 is 1.34.
The z-score for 1190 is -0.88.
The z-score for 2130 is 2.15.
The z-score for 1350 is -0.37.
And the z-score of 2130 is considered to be unusual.
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is: A standardized exam's scores are normally distributed. In recent years, the mean test score was 1464 and the standard deviation was 310. The test scores of four students selected at random are 1880, 1190, 2130, and 1350. Find the z-scores that correspond to each value and determine whether any of the values are unusual. The z-score for 1880 is nothing. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The z-score for 1190 is nothing. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The z-score for 2130 is nothing. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The z-score for 1350 is nothing. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Which values, if any, are unusual? Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box within your choice. A. The unusual value(s) is/are nothing. (Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) B. None of the values are unusual.
We are given that the mean test score was 1464 and the standard deviation was 310.
Let X = standardized exam's scores
The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;
Z = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] ~ N(0,1)
where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = mean test score = 1464
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 310
S, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu=1464, \sigma^{2} = 310^{2}[/tex])
Now, the test scores of four students selected at random are 1880, 1190, 2130, and 1350.
So, the z-score of 1880 = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1880-1464}{310}[/tex] = 1.34
The z-score of 1190 = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1190-1464}{310}[/tex] = -0.88
The z-score of 2130 = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2130-1464}{310}[/tex] = 2.15
The z-score of 1350 = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1350-1464}{310}[/tex] = -0.37
Now, the values whose z-score is less than -1.96 or higher than 1.96 are considered to be unusual.
According to our z-scores, only the z-score of 2130 is considered to be unusual as all other z-scores lie within the range of -1.96 and 1.96.

A cabinet door has a perimeter of 76 inches. Its area is 357 square inches. What are the dimensions of the door?
Answer:
17 by 21 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is twice the sum of the dimensions, and the area is their product, so you have ...
L + W = 38
LW = 357
__
Solution:
W(38 -W) = 357 . . . . . substitute for L
-(W^2 -76W) = 357 . . expand on the left
-(W^2 -38 +19^2) = 357 -19^2 . . . . complete the square
(W -19)^2 = 4 . . . . . . . write as a square
W -19 = ±√4 = ±2 . . . take the square root; next, add 19
W = 19 ±2 = {17, 21} . . . . if width is one of these, length is the other
The dimensions are 17 by 21 inches.
A maker of microwave ovens advertises that no more than 10% of its microwaves need repair during the first 5 years of use. In a random sample of 50 microwaves that are 5 years old, 12% needed repairs at a=.04 can you reject the makers claim that no more than 10% of its microwaves need repair during the first five years of use?
Answer:
We conclude that no more than 10% of its microwaves need repair during the first five years of use.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a maker of microwave ovens advertises that no more than 10% of its microwaves need repair during the first 5 years of use.
In a random sample of 50 microwaves that are 5 years old, 12% needed repairs.
Let p = population proportion of microwaves who need repair during the first five years of use.
So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : p [tex]\leq[/tex] 10% {means that no more than 10% of its microwaves need repair during the first five years of use}
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : p > 10% {means that more than 10% of its microwaves need repair during the first five years of use}
The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample z-test for proportions;
T.S. = [tex]\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } }[/tex] ~ N(0,1)
where, [tex]\hat p[/tex] = sample proportion of microwaves who need repair during the first 5 years of use = 12%
n = sample of microwaves = 50
So, the test statistics = [tex]\frac{0.12-0.10}{\sqrt{\frac{0.10(1-0.10)}{50} } }[/tex]
= 0.471
The value of z-test statistics is 0.471.
Now, at a 0.04 level of significance, the z table gives a critical value of 1.751 for the right-tailed test.
Since the value of our test statistics is less than the critical value of z as 0.471 < 1.751, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as the test statistics will not fall in the rejection region.
Therefore, we conclude that no more than 10% of its microwaves need repair during the first five years of use.
Determine which is the appropriate approach for conducting a hypothesis test. Claim: The mean RDA of sodium is 2400mg. Sample data: n150, 3400, s550. The sample data appear to come from a normally distributed population.
Answer:
Use the student t distribution
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the formula
t = (x - u) ÷(s/√N)
From the information we have in the question:
n = 150
s = 550
x = 3400
u = mean = 2400
= 3400 - 2400÷ 500/√150
= 1000/44.9
= 22.27
At 0.05 significance level, df = 149 so t tabulated will be 1.65.

Variable g is also 2 less than w. Which pair of equations best models the relationship between g and w? g = 8w g = w + 2 w = g + 8 w = g − 2 w = 8g w = g + 2 g = w + 8 g = w − 2
Answer: g = w + 8 g=w-2
Step-by-step explanation:
We could represent the word phrases by the equations.
g = w + 8
g = w - 2
Answer:
g = w + 8
g = w - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that g and w exists, then we can show the relation as described:
"Variable g is 8 more than variable w."
g = w + 8
"Variable g is also 2 less than w."
g = w - 2
These are the two equations of the described relationship between g and w.
Note that g could not actually exist in the real number system:
g = w + 8
g = w - 2
w + 8 = w - 2
w - w = -2 - 8
0 != -10
This is impossible within the real number system.

What is the slope of the line shown below?
A. -3/2
B. 3/2
C. 2/3
D. -2/3
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the slope using the slope formula
m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (1- -7)/(9 - -3)
= ( 1+7)/( 9+3)
= 8/12
Simplifying
= 2/3
Answer:
C. 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the equation: [tex]y_{2} - y_{1}/x_{2} - x_{1}[/tex] to find the slope.
y2 is equal to the y coordinate of the second point: 1
y1 is equal to the y coordinate of the first point: -7
x2 is equal to the x coordinate of the second point: 9
x1 is equal to the x coordinate of the first point: -3
So if you plug these values into the equation, you will get:
1 - (-7)/ 9- (-3)
= 1 + 7/ 9 + 3
= 8/12
= 2/3
Find the fourth roots of 16(cos 200° + i sin 200°).
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find roots of an equation, we use this formula:
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{n}}=r^{\frac{1}{n}}(cos(\frac{\theta}{n}+\frac{2k\pi}{n} )+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{\theta}{n}+\frac{2k\pi}{n})),[/tex] where k = 0, 1, 2, 3... (n = root; equal to n - 1; dependent on the amount of roots needed - 0 is included).
In this case, n = 4.
Therefore, we adjust the polar equation we are given and modify it to be solved for the roots.
Part 2: Solving for root #1
To solve for root #1, make k = 0 and substitute all values into the equation. On the second step, convert the measure in degrees to the measure in radians by multiplying the degrees measurement by [tex]\frac{\pi}{180}[/tex] and simplify.
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=16^{\frac{1}{4}}(cos(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(0)\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(0)\pi}{4}))[/tex]
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{\pi}{4}))[/tex]
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}} = 2(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{\pi}{4}))[/tex]
Root #1:

Part 3: Solving for root #2
To solve for root #2, follow the same simplifying steps above but change k to k = 1.
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=16^{\frac{1}{4}}(cos(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(1)\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(1)\pi}{4}))[/tex]

[tex]\large\boxed{z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{7\pi}{9}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{7\pi}{9}))}[/tex]
Part 4: Solving for root #3
To solve for root #3, follow the same simplifying steps above but change k to k = 2.
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=16^{\frac{1}{4}}(cos(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(2)\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(2)\pi}{4}))[/tex]

Part 4: Solving for root #4
To solve for root #4, follow the same simplifying steps above but change k to k = 3.
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=16^{\frac{1}{4}}(cos(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(3)\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{200}{4}+\frac{2(3)\pi}{4}))[/tex]
[tex]z^{\frac{1}{4}}=2(cos(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{6\pi}{4}))+\mathfrak{i}(sin(\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{6\pi}{4}))\\[/tex]

The probability density function for random variable W is given as follows: Let x be the 100pth percentile of W and y be the 100(1 – p)th percentile of W, where 0
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability density function (pdf) is used for continuous random variables. That is why p is between 0 and 1 (the two extremes - 0 and 1 - exclusive).
X = 100pth percentile of W
Y = 100(1-p)th percentile of W
Expressing Y as a function of X;
Y = 100(1-p)th = 100th - 100pth
Recall that 100pth is same as X, so substitute;
Y = 100th - X
where 100th = hundredth percentile of W and X = 100pth percentile of W

Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step exxplanation:
5x + 3 + 8x - 4 = 90
5x + 8x = 90 - 3 + 4
13x = 91
x = 91/13
x = 7
probe:
5*7 + 3 + 8*7 - 4 = 90
35 + 3 + 56 - 4 = 90
In the following equation, when x=3, what is the value of y? -4x + 3y = 12 A. 9 B. 3 C. 0 D. 8 PLZ HURRY IM TIMED WILL MARK BRAINLIEST
Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{y = 8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x + 3y = 12
Given that x = 3
-4 (3) + 3y = 12
-12 + 3y = 12
Adding 12 to both sides
3y = 12+12
3y = 24
Dividing both sides by 3
y = 8
Answer:
y =8
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x + 3y = 12
Let x = 3
-4(3) +3y = 12
-12+3y = 12
Add 12 to each side
-12+12+3y =12+12
3y =24
Divide each side by 3
3y/3 = 24/3
y =8
Gina, Sam, and Robby all rented movies from the same video store. They each rented some dramas, comedies, and documentaries. Gina rented 11 movies total. Sam rented twice as many dramas, three times as many comedies, and twice as many documentaries as Gina. He rented 27 movies total. If Robby rented 19 movies total with the same number of dramas, twice as many comedies, and twice as many documentaries as Gina, how many movies of each type did Gina rent?
Hi there! :)
Answer:
Gina rented 3 dramas, 5 comedies, and 3 documentaries.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve, we will need to set up a system of equations:
Let x = # of dramas, y = # of comedies, and z = # of documentaries:
Write equations to represent each person:
Gina:
x + y + z = 11
Sam:
2x + 3y + 2z = 27
Robby:
x + 2y + 2z = 19
Write the system:
x + y + z = 11
2x + 3y + 2z = 27
x + 2y + 2z = 19
Begin by subtracting the third equation from the second:
2x + 3y + 2z = 27
x + 2y + 2z = 19
-----------------------
x + y = 8
If x + y = 8, plug this into the first equation:
(8) + z = 11
z = 11 - 8
z = 3
We found the # of documentaries Gina rented, now we must solve for the other variables:
Subtract the top equation from the third. Substitute in the value of z we solved for:
x + 2y + 2(3) = 19
x + y + (3) = 11
-------------------------
y + 3 = 8
y = 5
Substitute in the values for y and z to solve for x:
x + 5 + 3 = 11
x + 8 = 11
x = 11 - 8
x = 3.
Therefore, Gina rented 3 dramas, 5 comedies, and 3 documentaries.
Answer:
B- x + y + z = 11
2x + 3y + 2z = 27
x + 2y + 2z = 19
