Find the indicated limit, if it exists.(7 points)
limit of f of x as x approaches 0 where f of x equals 7 minus x squared when x is less than 0, 7 when x equals 0, and 10 x plus 7 when x is greater than 0

Choices below

3

10

7

The limit does not exist.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

The left hand limit is when we approach zero from left. We use the function on this domain in finding the limit.

[tex]\lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x)=7-x^2[/tex]

[tex]\lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x)=7-(0)^2=7[/tex]

The right hand limit is

[tex]\lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x)=10x+7[/tex]

[tex]\lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x)=10(0)+7=7[/tex]

Since the left hand limit equals the right hand limit;

[tex]\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)=7[/tex]

Find the area of the composite figure and round the nearest tenth

Answers

Answer:

The area of the composite figure is 1360 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you should split up the composite figure into separate shapes.

So to find area of the triangle all the way on the left, you multiply base x height then divide by 2.

30 x 34 = 1020 ÷ 2 = 520.

Then, moving on to next shape, we can break up the trapezoid into a rectangle and a triangle.

To find area of the rectangle you multiply length x width.

16 x 30 = 480.

Finally, we have the last triangle right above the rectangle. Keep in mind that the rectangle does not have a length of 40!

You have to subtract 40 - 16 which equals 24.

30 x 24 = 720 ÷ 2 = 360.

Now that we have all 3 numbers, we simply add them all together and you will get an answer of 1360 ft.

Remember to label your answer!

Answer:

1080 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a composite figure that consists of a triangle and a trapezoid.

We know that the area of these two shapes is given by the following formulas so we will put in the given values to get:

Area of triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times b \times h[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times 16 \times 30[/tex] = 240 ft^2

Area of trapezoid = [tex]\frac{a+b}{2} h[/tex] = [tex]\frac{16+40}{2} 30[/tex] = 840 ft^2

Area of composite figure = [tex]240+840[/tex] = 1080 ft^2

Which of the following histograms would best be approximated by a normal distribution?

Answers

Answer:

Choice B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The normal distribution has extensive applications in statistics. The distribution is characterized by a symmetric bell-shaped density curve. Most of the observations or data points fall in the middle of the distribution while both the right and left tails are equally longer.

The histogram that can be approximated by a normal distribution must meet the above conditions.

The histogram in alternative A is skewed to the right since most of the values fall in the lower end of the distribution. A skewed distribution is not symmetric.

The histogram in choice C is approximately uniformly distributed since most of the observed values have an approximately equal frequency. Each of the values is approximately equally likely. The uniform distribution is not symmetric.

The histogram in D follows no know pattern and nevertheless it lacks the symmetric property.

The histogram in B is approximately symmetric in distribution since most of the observed data values fall in the middle of the distribution while the left and right tails are nearly equal. This histogram can thus be approximated by a normal distribution.

Find the inverse of the following function.

Answers

For this case we must find the inverse of the following function:

[tex]f (x) = 8 \sqrt {x}[/tex]

For this, we follow the steps below:

We change f (x) to y:

[tex]y = 8 \sqrt {x}[/tex]

We exchange the variables:

[tex]x = 8 \sqrt {y}[/tex]

We solve for y:

[tex]8 \sqrt {y} = x[/tex]

We divide between 8 on both sides of the equation:

[tex]\sqrt {y} = \frac {x} {8}[/tex]

We raise both sides of the equation to the square to remove the root:

[tex]y = (\frac {x} {8}) ^ 2\\y = \frac {x ^ 2} {64}[/tex]

So, the inverse is:[tex]f ^ {- 1} (x) = \frac {x ^ 2} {64}[/tex]

Can the numbers 24, 32, 40 be the lengths of the three sides of a right triangle? Explain why or why not.

Answers

Answer:

24, 32, 40 can be the lengths of the three sides of a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

40^2 = 1,600

32^2 + 24^2 = 1024 + 576 = 1,600

If the square of the length of the hypotenuse (longest side length)  is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides then it's a right triangle

So

40^2 = 32^2 + 24^2

1,600 = 1,600

24, 32, 40 can be the lengths of the three sides of a right triangle

Kim is making a bouquet for her friend. She used x tulips and some daffodils in the bouquet. The number of daffodils is equal to the square root of the number of tulips. If the total number of flowers in the bouquet is 20, find the number of tulips.

5
16
20
4

Answers

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

So the number of tulips (t) plus the number of daffodils (d) should equal up to 20. So if we write that as an equation, it would t + d = 20. So now we have to find what two numbers could add up to 20, but let's not forget that the number of daffodils is equal to the square root of the number of tulips.

So now we have to find a number when added to its square root is 20. So going by process of elimination, you can eliminate 5 because the square root of that is a decimal and 5 plus a decimal isn't going to add up to 20. You know you can eliminate 20 because it already reaches the limit with the number of tulips, not allowing enough room for daffodils. You can eliminate 4 because the square root of that is 2, and 4 + 2 = 6, not 20.

So that leaves 16... The square root of 16 is 4, because 4 divided by itself twice equals 16. Now, let's add them and see if it equals 20. 16 tulips + 4 daffodils = 20. So 16 is your answer.

Sorry I am bad at explaining things, but I hope this helps anyway!

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

She used x tulips and some daffodils in the bouquet.

The number of daffodils is equal to the square root of the number of tulips.

[tex]\texttt{Number of daffodils = }\sqrt{x}[/tex]

The total number of flowers in the bouquet is 20

That is

             [tex]x+\sqrt{x}=20[/tex]

Solving

         [tex]x+\sqrt{x}=20\\\\\sqrt{x}=20-x\\\\x=(20-x)^2\\\\x=400-40x+x^2\\\\x^2-41x+400=0\\\\(x-25)(x-16)=0\\\\\texttt{x=25 or x = 16}[/tex]

Total number is less than 20 so 25 is not possible

Number of tulips used = 16

Mike can afford to buy 5 $20 games.

To determine how many $20 games Mike can afford to buy with $100, we divide the total amount of money he has by the cost of one game.

Total money Mike has = $100

Cost of one game = $20

Number of games Mike can afford = Total money / Cost of one game

Number of games Mike can afford = $100 / $20

Number of games Mike can afford = 5

Therefore, Mike can buy 5 games with $100.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know geckos are 2/5 of an Iguana's length, we need to find the length of 1/5.

So if 10 in. is 2/5, 5 in, is 1/5.

Now, since the denominator is 5, we multiply 5 in. by 5.

So the parabola has 1 intersection point at x = 0 (origin as shown) and the line of symmetry is at x = 4.6. That is, from 0 to 4.6, it is 4.6 units. Hence, the other intersection point at the x-axis should be from 4.6 to 4.6 units to the right.

Hence, 4.6 + 4.6 = 9.2

Printer B uses $15 in ink every hour. What is the ink cost for each card coming from printer B?

Answers

Answer:

$0.2456 / card in ink for printer B

Step-by-step explanation:

The formatting of the data tables isn't great in your question and it's hard to be sure of which numbers go where.

Since the question is about printer B, we'll assume the number of hours for printer B is 50 for week1, 50 for week2 and 3 for week3.

The numbers don't make much sense overall, but let's work with them.

We'll first calculate the ratio of hours worked by printer B with the overall hours all the printers worked, over the 3 weeks:

Printer A : 140 hours

Printer B : 130 hours

Printer C: 145 hours

Total 415 hours total, for the 3 printers.

Ratio of Printer B: 130 / 415 = 31.325%

Total of cards produced:

7,950 + 7,800 + 9,600 = 25,350 cards over 3 weeks.

We'll assume the productivity per hour is the same for all printers, since no indication otherwise.  So, the portion of those 25K cards of printer B should be the same as the ratio of the hours worked:

25,340 * 31.325% = 7941 cards (rounded to the nearest unit)

Since we know printer B ran for 130 hours, and it costs $15/hour in ink, we have:

130 hours * 15$/hour = $1,950 in ink.

Now, we divide by the number of cards:

$1,950 / 7941 cards = $0.2456 / card in ink for printer B

What is the value of the function f(x)=3/2x-1/2 when x=6?

Answers

Answer:

Option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of the function at x=6, we have to replace x by 6 in the given function.

[tex]f(x)=\frac{3}{2}x -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Replacing(Substituting) x = 6 in above equation we get:

[tex]f(6)=\frac{3}{2} (6) -\frac{1}{2}\\\\f(6)=9-\frac{1}{2}\\\\ f(6)=\frac{18}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\\\\ f(6)=\frac{17}{2}\\\\ f(6)=8\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Thus, 1st option gives the correct answer.

Answer:

The correct answer is option 1

8 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

f(x) = 3x/2 - 1/2

We have to find f(x) when x = 6

To find the value of f(6)

we have, f(x) = 3x/2 - 1/2

when x = 6

f(x) = f(6)

f(6) = (3 * 6)/2 - 1/2

 = 18/2 - 1/2

 = (18 - 1)/2 = 17/2

 = 8 1/2

Therefore the correct answer is first option

How to convert it?

Some quadratic equations are difficult to factor and are not presented in a way that enables us to apply the square root property right away. However, by "completing the square," we may transform the quadratic formula into a perfect square trinomial. The square root property is then used to factor the trinomial and answer the equation.

How to Complete the Square in Equations to Solve the Problem

1. Transform the original equation into x2 + bx = c.

2. Add the term required to complete the square to both sides.

3. Factor the trinomial with a perfect square.

4. Apply the square root property to the resulting equation

If x2 + bx is a binomial, then adding  will result in a perfect square trinomial.   is the square of half the coefficient of the linear x.  

A perfect square trinomial can be factored, so the equation can then be solved by taking the square root of both sides.

Where:

[tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation

n is the sample size

So

n = 80 people

[tex]\sigma[/tex] = 12 movies

[tex]\alpha= 1-0.99[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = 0.01\\\\\frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.005[/tex]

Your friend can clap his hands 28 times in 12 seconds. How many times can your friend clap his hands in 2.25 minutes?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x / 2.25 seconds = 28 times / 12 seconds

multiply by sides by 2.25 seconds

x / 2.25 seconds * 2.25 seconds = 28 times / 12 seconds * 2.25 second

x = 2.3333333  times/ second * 2.25 seconds

x = 5.8333

Answer:

315 times

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the friend can clap his hands 28 times in 12 seconds. First, we need to know how many times can he clap his hands in 1 second:

To do it we have to divide the times he can clap his hands by the time in seconds:

28/12 = 2.333333

He can clap his hands 2.333333 times in 1 second:

Now we want to know how many times will he clap his hands in 2.25 minutes

We have to change 2.25 minutes into seconds:

1 (minute) = 60 (seconds in 1 minute)

2.25 (minutes) * 60 (seconds in 1 minute) = 135 seconds

After we get the seconds he is going to clap his hands, we have to multiply the times he claps times the seconds:

2.3333333 times * 135 seconds = 315

315 times in 2.25 minutes

Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, oh daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them.2So now all who escaped death in battle or by shipwreck had got safely home except Ulysses, and he, though he was longing to return to his wife and country, was detained by the goddess Calypso, who had got him into a large cave and wanted to marry him. But as years went by, there came a time when the gods settled that he should go back to Ithaca; even then, however, when he was among his own people, his troubles were not yet over; nevertheless all the gods had now begun to pity him except Neptune, who still persecuted him without ceasing and would not let him get home.3Now Neptune had gone off to the Ethiopians, who are at the world's end, and lie in two halves, the one looking West and the other East. He had gone there to accept a hecatomb of sheep and oxen, and was enjoying himself at his festival; but the other gods met in the house of Olympian Jove, and the sire of gods and men spoke first. At that moment he was thinking of Aegisthus, who had been killed by Agamemnon's son Orestes; so he said to the other gods:4"See now, how men lay blame upon us gods for what is after all nothing but their own folly. Look at Aegisthus; he must needs make love to Agamemnon's wife unrighteously and then kill Agamemnon, though he knew it would be the death of him; for I sent Mercury to warn him not to do either of these things, inasmuch as Orestes would be sure to take his revenge when he grew up and wanted to return home. Mercury told him this in all good will but he would not listen, and now he has paid for everything in full."
