Simple math! What is the issue with my work? I got it wrong.

Answer:

y = [tex]\sqrt[3]{x-5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of any function you basically switch x and y.

function = y = x^3 + 5

Now we switch x and y

x = y^3 +5

Solve for y,

x - 5 = y^3

switch sides,

y^3 = x-5

y = [tex]\sqrt[3]{x-5}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\Large \boxed{{f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[3]{x-5}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is given,

[tex]f(x)=x^3 +5[/tex]

The inverse of a function reverses the original function.

Replace f(x) with y.

[tex]y=x^3 +5[/tex]

Switch variables.

[tex]x=y^3 +5[/tex]

Solve for y to find the inverse.

Subtract 5 from both sides.

[tex]x-5=y^3[/tex]

Take the cube root of both sides.

[tex]\sqrt[3]{x-5} =y[/tex]

Answer:

c. both A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are two events A and B.

To find:

Intersection of the two sets represents which of the following events:

a. either A or B occurs but not both

b. neither A nor B occur

c. both A and B occur

d. All of these choices are true. a. b. c. d

Solution:

First of all, let us learn about the concept of intersection.

Intersection of two events means the common part in the two events.

Explanation using set theory:

Let set P contains the outcomes of roll of a dice.

P = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

And set Q contains the set of even numbers less than 10.

Q = {2, 4, 6, 8}

Common elements are {2, 4, 6}

So, intersection of P and Q:

[tex]P \cap Q[/tex] = {2, 4, 6}

Explanation using Venn diagram:

Please refer to the image attached in the answer area.

The shaded region is the intersection of the two sets P and Q.

When we apply the above concept in events, we can clearly say from the above explanation that the intersection of two events A and B is the event that occurs when both A and B occur.

So, correct answer is:

c. both A and B

A = - 7(24)

A = - 168

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This blue line seems to be horizontal, and so a line perpendicular would have to be vertical. The only vertical line that passes through (2, 6) would be x = 2.

The equation of the line perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (2, 6) is x = 2.

Equation of a line in slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept, which is the y coordinate of the point where it touches the Y axis.

Given is a line that passes through the points (-8, -4) and (8, -4).

This line is parallel to the X axis.

A line parallel to X axis has the equation y = b.

The y coordinate is -4 throughout the line.

So equation of the line is y = -4.

A line perpendicular to the given line will be parallel to Y axis.

Parallel lines to Y axis has the equation of the form x = a.

Line passes through the point (2, 6).

x coordinate will be 2 throughout.

So the equation of the perpendicular line is x = 2.

Hence the required equation is x = 2.

Given that:

Find how many ways the 4 oldest people can be selected from the group.

Since the 4 oldest people are already determined, there is only 1 way to select them.

To calculate the probability, to determine the total number of ways to select 4 people from the group of 11. This can be found using the combination formula:

Number of ways to choose k items from n items :

C(n,k) = n! / (k!(n-k)!)

Calculate the total number of ways to select 4 people from the group:

Plugging n and k value from given data:

C(11,4 )= 11! / (4!(11-4)!)

On simplifications gives:

C(11, 4) = 330.

Calculate the probability:

Probability = Number of ways 4 oldest people selected / Total number of ways to select 4 people

Plugging the given data:

Probability = 1 / 330

Probability ≈ 0.00303 or 0.303%.

Answer:

There are 6566 ways to choose 22 croissants with at least one plain croissant, at least two cherry croissants, at least three chocolate croissants, at least one almond croissant, at least two apple croissants, and no more than three broccoli croissants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There are 5 types of croissants:

plain croissants

cherry croissants

chocolate croissants

almond croissant

apple croissants

broccoli croissants

To find:

to choose 22 croissants with:

at least one plain croissant

at least two cherry croissants

at least three chocolate croissants

at least one almond croissant

at least two apple croissants

no more than three broccoli croissants

Solution:

First we select

At least one plain croissant to lets say we first select 1 plain croissant, 2 cherry croissants, 3 chocolate croissants, 1 almond croissant, 2 apple croissants

So

1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2  = 9

Total croissants = 22  

So 9 croissants are already selected and 13 remaining croissants are still needed to be selected as 22-9 = 13, without selecting more than three broccoli croissants.

Answer:

Percentage of home team supporters =65%

Percentage of visiting team supporters =35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total attendees=2,000 people

Home team supporters=1,300

Visiting team supporters=700

What percentage of people attending supported the home team?

Percentage of people attending who supported the home team = home team supporters / total attendees × 100

=1,300/2,000 × 100

=0.65 × 100

=65%

Visiting team supporters = visiting team supporters / total attendees

× 100

=700/2000 × 100

=0.35 × 100

=35%

Alternatively,

Visiting team supporters = percentage of total attendees - percentage of home team supporters

=100% - 65%

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: Spherical coordinate describes a location of a point in space: one distance (ρ) and two angles (Ф,θ).To transform cartesian coordinates into spherical coordinates:

[tex]\rho = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\phi = cos^{-1}\frac{z}{\rho}[/tex]

For angle θ:

Calculating:

a) (4,2,-4)

[tex]\rho = \sqrt{4^{2}+2^{2}+(-4)^{2}}[/tex] = 6

[tex]\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{-4}{6})[/tex]

[tex]\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{-2}{3})[/tex]

For θ, choose 1st option:

[tex]\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{2}{4})[/tex]

[tex]\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})[/tex]

b) (0,8,15)

[tex]\rho = \sqrt{0^{2}+8^{2}+(15)^{2}}[/tex] = 17

[tex]\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{15}{17})[/tex]

[tex]\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}[/tex]

The angle θ gives a tangent that doesn't exist. Analysing table of sine, cosine and tangent: θ = [tex]\frac{\pi}{2}[/tex]

c) (√2,1,1)

[tex]\rho = \sqrt{(\sqrt{2} )^{2}+1^{2}+1^{2}}[/tex] = 2

[tex]\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})[/tex]

[tex]\phi[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\pi}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]

d) (−2√3,−2,3)

[tex]\rho = \sqrt{(-2\sqrt{3} )^{2}+(-2)^{2}+3^{2}}[/tex] = 5

[tex]\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{3}{5})[/tex]

Since x < 0, use 2nd option:

[tex]\theta = \pi + tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }[/tex]

[tex]\theta = \pi + \frac{\pi}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\theta = \frac{7\pi}{6}[/tex]

Cilindrical coordinate describes a 3 dimension space: 2 distances (r and z) and 1 angle (θ). To express cartesian coordinates into cilindrical:

[tex]r=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}[/tex]

Angle θ is the same as spherical coordinate;

z = z

Calculating:

a) (4,2,-4)

[tex]r=\sqrt{4^{2}+2^{2}}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{20}[/tex]

[tex]\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

z = -4

b) (0, 8, 15)

[tex]r=\sqrt{0^{2}+8^{2}}[/tex] = 8

[tex]\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}[/tex]

z = 15

c) (√2,1,1)

[tex]r=\sqrt{(\sqrt{2} )^{2}+1^{2}}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}[/tex]

z = 1

d) (−2√3,−2,3)

[tex]r=\sqrt{(-2\sqrt{3} )^{2}+(-2)^{2}}[/tex] = 4

[tex]\theta = \frac{7\pi}{6}[/tex]

z = 3

Answer:

There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the population mean is not equal to 88.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following hypothesis below;

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean.

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 88.9      {means that the population mean is equal to 88.9}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu\neq[/tex] 88.9     {means that the population mean is different from 88.9}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation;

                             T.S.  =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~  [tex]t_n_-_1[/tex]

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean = 81.3

             s = sample standard deviation = 13.4

            n = sample size = 7

So, the test statistics =  [tex]\frac{81.3-88.9}{\frac{13.4}{\sqrt{7} } }[/tex]   ~ [tex]t_6[/tex]

                                     =  -1.501

The value of t-test statistics is -1.501.

Also, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;

                    P-value = P([tex]t_6[/tex] < -1.501) = 0.094

Since the P-value of our test statistics is more than the level of significance as 0.094 > 0.01, 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 the population mean is equal to 88.9.

  [tex]P( 0.172 < X < 0.178 ) = 0.00354[/tex]  

b

  [tex]P( X >0.025 ) = 0.99379[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  population proportion is  [tex]p = 0.10[/tex]

    The sample size is  [tex]n = 100[/tex]

Generally the standard error is mathematically represented as

       [tex]SE = \sqrt{\frac{ p (1 - p )}{n} }[/tex]

=>   [tex]SE = \sqrt{\frac{ 0.10 (1 - 0.10 )}{100} }[/tex]

=>   [tex]SE =0.03[/tex]

The sample proportion (the proportion living in the dormitories) is between 0.172 and 0.178

   [tex]P( 0.172 < X < 0.178 ) = P (\frac{ 0.172 - 0.10}{0.03} < \frac{ X - 0.10}{SE} < \frac{ 0.178 - 0.10}{0.03} )[/tex]

  Generally  [tex]\frac{ X - 0.10}{SE} = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of X )[/tex]

    [tex]P( 0.172 < X < 0.178 ) = P (\frac{ 0.172 - 0.10}{0.03} <Z < \frac{ 0.178 - 0.10}{0.03} )[/tex]

    [tex]P( 0.172 < X < 0.178 ) = P (2.4 <Z < 2.6 )[/tex]

   [tex]P( 0.172 < X < 0.178 ) = P(Z < 2.6 ) - P (Z < 2.4 )[/tex]

From the z-table  

      [tex]P(Z < 2.6 ) = 0.99534[/tex]

     [tex]P(Z < 2.4 ) = 0.9918[/tex]

[tex]P( 0.172 < X < 0.178 ) =0.99534 - 0.9918[/tex]  

 [tex]P( 0.172 < X < 0.178 ) = 0.00354[/tex]  

the probability that the sample proportion (the proportion living in the dormitories) is greater than 0.025 is mathematically evaluated as

        [tex]P( X >0.025 ) = P (\frac{ X - 0.10}{SE} > \frac{ 0.0025- 0.10}{0.03} )[/tex]

        [tex]P( X >0.025 ) = P (Z > -2.5 )[/tex]

From the z-table  

        [tex]P (Z > -2.5 ) = 0.99379[/tex]

Thus

      [tex]P( X >0.025 ) = P (Z > -2.5 ) = 0.99379[/tex]

Answer:

The expression = [tex] \frac{40}{y - 16} [/tex]

Value of the expression = 4 (when y is 20)

Step-by-step explanation:

Quotient simply means the result you get when you divide two numbers. Thus, dividend (the numerator) ÷ divisor (the denominator) = quotient.

From the information given to us here,

the dividend = 40

the divisor = y - 16

The quotient = [tex] \frac{40}{y - 16} [/tex]

There, the expression would be [tex] \frac{40}{y - 16} [/tex]

Find the value of the expression when y = 20.

Plug in 20 for y in the expression and evaluate.

[tex] \frac{40}{y - 16} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{40}{20 - 16} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{40}{4} = 10 [/tex]

The value of the expression, when y is 20, is 4.

Answer:

5/17

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question to calculate probability from odds. The formula is given as:

A formula for calculating probability from odds is P = Odds / (Odds + 1)

From the question , we are told that the odds of receiving a gift is

= 5:12

The probability of Jessica receiving a gift =

Probability = Odds / (Odds + 1)

P = 5/12 / ( 5/12 + 1)

P = (5/12)/ (17/12)

P = 5/12 × 12/17

= 5/17

Therefore, the probability of Jessica. receiving a gift is 5/17.

Answer:

There is enough evidence to reject the highway department executive's claim about the distribution of fatal accidents between each month, as the Variance is 14 and the Standard Deviation = 4 approximately.

There is a high degree of variability in the mean of the population as explained by the Variance and the Standard Deviation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Month       No. of              Mean       Squared

           Fatal Accidents  Deviation   Difference

Jan          8                       -4                  16

Feb        15                        3                   9

Mar         9                       -3                   9

Apr         8                       -4                  16

May       13                        1                    1

Jun         6                      -6                 36

Jul         17                       5                 25

Aug       15                       3                   9

Sep       10                      -2                   4

Oct        9                       -3                   9

Nov    18                          6                 36

Dec    12                          0                   0

Total 140                                         170

Mean = 140/12 = 12    Mean of squared deviation (Variance) = 170/12 = 14.16667

Standard deviation = square root of variance = 3.76386 = 4

The fatal accidents' Variance is a measure of how spread out the fatal accident data set is. It is calculated as the average squared deviation of the number of each month's accident from the mean of the fatal accident data set.  It also shows how variable the data varies from the mean of approximately 12.

The fatal accidents' Standard Deviation is the square root of the variance, and a useful measure of variability when the distribution is normal or approximately normal.

Answer:

[tex]X=\begin{bmatrix}5&3\\ -3&2\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following matrix equation, from which we have to isolate X and simplify this value.

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}2&4\\ \:\:\:5&4\end{bmatrix}X\:+\:\begin{bmatrix}-8&-8\\ \:\:\:12&1\end{bmatrix}=\:\begin{bmatrix}-10&6\\ \:\:\:25&24\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

To isolate X, let us first subtract the second matrix, as demonstrated below, from either side. Further simplifying this equation we can multiply either side by the inverse of the matrix being the co - efficient of X, isolating it in the doing.

Answer:

The first table on the list:

x 1   2  3  4    5

y 5 10 15 20 25

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation is when the slope is the exact same between each point.  The way we find slope is by finding the change in "y" over the change in "x".

x-values: 1, 2/y-values: 5, 10---[tex]\frac{10-5}{2-1}[/tex]=5/1=5

x-values: 2, 3/y-values: 10, 15---[tex]\frac{15-10}{3-2}[/tex]=5/1=5

x-values: 3, 4/y-vaues: 15, 20---[tex]\frac{20-15}{4-3}[/tex]=5/1=5

x-values: 4, 5/y-values: 20, 25---[tex]\frac{25-20}{5-4}[/tex]=5/1=5

The slope for each change in points is 5, which means that this table represents a linear function.

The only table that represents a linear function is; Table 1

A linear function is one that has the same slope for every coordinate point.

Looking at the tables, the one with same slope for all points is table 1 and we will prove that as follows;

Slope = 5/1 = 5

Slope = 10/2 = 5

Slope = 15/3 = 5

Slope = 20/4 = 5

slope = 25/5 = 5

In conclusion, only table 1 represents a linear function.

Step-by-step explanation:

opposite of –4 = 4

Answer:

Solution : Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we want to do here is isolate the cos(t) and sin(t) for both the equations --- ( 1 )

x = - 3cos(t) ⇒ x / - 3 = cos(t)

y = 4sin(t) ⇒ y / 4 = sin(t)

Let's square both equations now. Remember that cos²t + sin²t = 1. Therefore, we can now add both equations after squaring them --- ( 2 )

( x / - 3 )² = cos²(t)

+ ( y / 4 )² = sin²(t)

Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

we are required to find the probability that the ring is within 12 meters from nthe car.

we start by defining a random variable x to be the distance from the car. the car is the starting point.

x follows a normal distribution (0,30)

[tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{30}[/tex]

[tex]0<x<30[/tex]

probabilty of x ≤ 12

= [tex]\int\limits^a_ b{\frac{1}{30} } \, dx[/tex]

a = 12

b = 0

[tex]\frac{1}{30} *(12-0)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{12}{30} = 0.4[/tex]

therefore 0.4 is the probability that the ring is within 12 feet of your car.
