Find the average rate of change of the function between the given values of x.
y = -5x - x2 between 2 and x = 6.
Answer:
The average rate of change is of -13.
Step-by-step explanation:
Average rate of change:
The average rate of change of a function in an interval [a,b] is given by:
[tex]A = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}[/tex]
In this question:
Between 2 and 6. So
[tex]f(6) = -5(6) - 6^2 = -30 - 36 = -66[/tex]
[tex]f(2) = -5(2) - 2^2 = -10 - 4 = -14[/tex]
[tex]A = \frac{-66 - (-14)}{6 - 2} = \frac{-66 + 14}{4} = \frac{-52}{4} = -13[/tex]
The average rate of change is of -13.
A study of malaria transmission in Africa tested whether drinking beer increased attractiveness to mosquitoes. Yes, this is a real story (Lefevre et al. 2010. PLOS One5:e9546), and for simplicity I have changed some details from what they actually did. The researchers opened a container of 50 mosquitoes and looked at what proportion of the 50 mosquitoes left the container and flew towards the volunteer person. They did this experiment with 30 persons and each person was tested twice, once before they drank anything and then (an hour later) after they had consumed a beer. Assuming that the proportions of mosquitoes are normally distributed and the variances are similar, what would be the best test to see if more mosquitoes are attracted to people after drinking a beer
Answer:
The best test to see if more mosquitoes are attracted to people after drinking beer is the z-test for the difference in proportion of two populations
Step-by-step explanation:
The study tested if drinking bear increases the attractiveness to mosquitoes
The number of people the taking part in the study, n = 30 people
The total number of mosquitoes in the study = 50 mosquitoes
The proportion of mosquitoes flying to each volunteer is measured before and one hour after consuming bear
The mean number of mosquito flying towards a volunteer can be found by summing the other proportions that fly towards the 30 volunteers and dividing by n₁ = 30, before and n₂ = 30 after the respondents had bear to obtain [tex]\hat{p}_{1}[/tex] and [tex]\hat{p}_{2}[/tex]
Given that the variances are equal and the sum of the sample for the two tests, n₁ + n₂ = 60 > 30, it is, best to use the the z-test for the difference in proportion as follows;
[tex]Z=\dfrac{\hat{p}_1-\hat{p}_2}{\sqrt{\hat{p} \cdot (1-\hat{p}) \cdot \left (\dfrac{1}{n_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{n_{2}} \right )}}[/tex]
Where the pooled mean, [tex]\hat p[/tex], is given as follows;
[tex]\hat p = \dfrac{n_1 \cdot \hat p_1 + n_2 \cdot \hat p_2}{n_1 + n_2}[/tex]

A triangle with an area of 37 units? is dilated by a scale factor of . Find the area of
the triangle after dilation. Round your answer to the nearest lenth, if necessary.
Answer:
58 units
Step-by-step explanation:
I decided that one side is 37 units and another is 2 units, since that would make the area 37 units. (you can also use 74 units and 1 unit)
Then I multiplied 37 by 5/4, which equals a new length of 46.25 units, and I also multiplied 2 by 5/4, which equals a new length of 2.5 units.
Finally, I solve for the area of the triangle:
1/2(46.25 x 2.5) ≈ 58 units (rounded to the nearest whole number)
Help me out thank youuuu sooo much !!!
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
There are actually two methods that can be used to calculate AC (x):
1. Using Pythagorean Theorem
2. Using Trigonometric Function
1. Using Pythagorean Theorem, we have:
x = √(15² + 20²)
x = √625
x = 25 units
2. Using Trigonometric Function:
Reference angle = 37°
Adjacent = 20
Opposite = 15
Hypotenuse = x
Apply SOH:
Sin 37 = Opp/Hyp
Sin 37 = 15/x
x × Sin 37 = 15
x = 15/sin 37
x = 24.9246021 ≈ 25 units (nearest whole number)
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) uses a measure called the Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) to measure air quality in a city. A PSI reading over 100 indicates a day when the air quality is considered unhealthy. The measurements represent the number of days in 1995 that the PSI was over 100 for metropolitan areas in the U.S. Midwest. Summary statistics are provided.

Draw the boxplot for this data we found no extreme outliers.
Answer:
Please find attached the Box Plot Created with Microsoft Excel
The outliers are 11, and 14
Step-by-step explanation:
The given data is presented as follows;
0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 7, 7, 11, 14
From the data, we have;
The first quartile, Q₁ = 1
The second quartile, (The median) Q₂ = 2.5
The third quartile, Q₃ = 4.75
Therefore, the interquartile range, IQR = Q₃ - Q₁ = 4.75 - 1 = 3.75
Therefore, the values above Q₃ + 1.5 × IQR are outliers
Q₃ + 1.5 × IQR = 4.75 + 1.5 × 3.75 = 10.375
Therefore, 11, and 14 are outliers

3x+20 = 5x-12
Subtract 3x from each side
3x+20 -3x = 5x-12-3x
20 = 2x-12
Add 12 to each side
20+12 = 2x-12+12
32 = 2x
Divide each side by 2
32/2 = 2x/2

Answer:
x = {-0.5-√1.25, -0.5+√1.25, 2, -0.5+i√0.75, -0.5-i√0.75}
Step-by-step explanation:
I like to use a graphing calculator to find clues as to the roots of higher-degree polynomials. Here, we see that x=2 is the only real rational root. Dividing that out by synthetic division, we see the remaining quartic factor is ...
2x^5 -6x^3 -4x^2 -2x +4 = 0
2(x -2)(x^4 +2x^3 +x^2 -1) = 0
We can recognize that the quartic factor is actually the difference of two squares:
x^4 +2x^3 +x^2 -1 = (x^2 +x)^2 -1 = 0
So it resolves to two quadratic factors.
(x^2 +x +1)(x^2 +x -1) = 0
One will have real roots, as shown by the graph. The other will have complex roots.
x^2 +x + 1/4 = 1 +1/4 . . . . complete the square for the factor with real roots
(x +1/2)^2 = 5/4
x = -1/2 ± √(5/4) . . . . . . irrational real roots
__
x^2 +x = -1 . . . . . . . . . . the quadratic factor with complex roots
(x +1/2)^2 = -1 +1/4 . . . complete the square
x = -1/2 ± i√(3/4) . . . . irrational complex roots
__
In summary, the values of x that satisfy the equation are ...
x = 2
x = -1/2 ± √(5/4)
x = -1/2 ± i√(3/4)

What is the unitary method?The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value. The unitary method is a technique by which we find the value of a single unit from the value of multiple devices and the value of more than one unit from the value of a single unit. It is a method that we use for most of the calculations in math.
Given that car, the magazine reports the numbers of miles driven for different amounts of fas for Three car.
Consider us solving for the miles per gallon of individual cars
A. miles driven =140
A gallons= 5
