Step-by-step explanation:

A normal distribution shows a dense center , which would be the mean. Given a population or sample, the bulk of the data would be found near the mean and and spreads out thinner towards the ends when the data is said to be normally distributed. When graphed you will see that the data form a bell-shaped curve.

For this case we must solve the following inequality:

[tex]-8 <2x-4 <4[/tex]

Adding 4 in the parts of the inequality we have:

[tex]-8 + 4 <2x-4 + 4 <4 + 4\\-4 <2x <8[/tex]

Dividing between 2 each part of the inequality:

[tex]\frac {-4} {2} <\frac {2x} {2} <\frac {8} {2}[/tex]

[tex]-2 <x <4[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]-2 <x <4[/tex]

To solve the inequality -8 < 2x - 4 < 4, add 4 to each part to get -4 < 2x < 8, then divide by 2 to find -2 < x < 4.

To solve the inequality -8 < 2x - 4 < 4, we must isolate x. We do this in two steps, addressing each part of the compound inequality separately.

Therefore, the solution set is all x values between -2 and 4.

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

[tex]\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]

here [ a, b ] = [ 3, 5 }

and from the graph

f(b) = f(5 ) = 3 and f(a) = f(3) = - 1, hence

rate of change = [tex]\frac{3-(-1)}{5-3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex] = 2

The rate of change for a quadratic function isn't constant but can be averaged over an interval using the formula [f(b) - f(a)] / (b - a).

The rate of change over a given interval for a quadratic function is not constant and varies with x. However, the function's average rate of change can be determined for an interval. This can be found by taking the difference in the function's value at the two endpoints of the interval, divided by the difference in x-values.

Without the specific function, I can't calculate the rate over the interval for you, but you can use this formula:

In your case, a = 3 and b = 5. So, just substitute these values (and the values of your function at these points) into that formula to find the average rate of change.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure we can see that, two isosceles  triangles.

ΔFGH and ΔFJH

We get FG = GH and FJ = HJ

And side FH is common for both the triangles.

We can not say these two triangles are congruent.

Therefor the  correct answer is third option

They are not congruent, because only one pair of corresponding sides is congruent.

Final answer:

The congruency between Triangle FGH and Triangle FJH can be considered through Desargues's theorem, which relates congruency to parallel sides and intersecting vertex connections, and similarity can also be established by the AAA theorem, which involves congruent corresponding angles.

Explanation:

To determine whether Triangle FGH is congruent to Triangle FJH, one would need to employ the principles of Desargues's theorem, which states that if two triangles have their corresponding vertices connected by lines that meet at a point, and if the corresponding sides of the triangles are parallel, then the triangles are congruent. The information given suggests multiple instances where triangles are similar or congruent based on the congruency of angles or parallelism of lines, as dictated by the aforementioned theorem. For example, in the triangles ABC and FCE mentioned, the similarity is confirmed via the Angle Angle Angle (AAA theorem) because all corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent, which is a direct consequence of the vertical angles property and the alternate interior angles property. This similarity implies that there's a proportionality between the sides of the triangles, which could be a stepping stone in proving the congruency between Triangle FGH and Triangle FJH if similar conditions apply.

Answer:

The total length of all 8 movies is 740 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the arithmetic series

- In the arithmetic series there is a constant difference between  

 each two consecutive numbers  

- Ex:  

# 2 , 5 , 8 , 11 , ………………………. (constant difference is 3)

# 5 , 10 , 15 , 20 , ………………………… (constant difference is 5)

# 12 , 10 , 8 , 6 , …………………………… (constant difference is -2)

* General term (nth term) of an Arithmetic series:  

- If the first term is a and the common diffidence is d, then

 U1 = a , U2 = a + d , U3 = a + 2d , U4 = a + 3d , U5 = a + 4d  

 So the nth term is Un = a + (n – 1)d, where n is the position of the

  number in the series

- The formula to find the sum of n terms is

  Sn = n/2 [a + l] , where l is the last term in the series

* Lets solve the problem

- A new movie is released each year for 8 years to go along with a

 popular book series

∴ n = 8

- Each movie is 5 minutes longer than the last

∴ d = 5

- The first movie is 75 minutes long

∴ a = 75

- To find the total length of all 8 movies find the sum of the 8 terms

∵ Un = a + (n - 1)d

∵ The last term l is u8

∵ a = 75 , d = 5 , n = 8

∴ l = 75 + (8 - 1)(5) = 75 + 7(5) = 75 + 35 = 110

∴ l = 110

∵ Sn = n/2 [a + l]

∴ S8 = 8/2 [75 + 110] = 4 [185] = 740 minutes

* The total length of all 8 movies is 740 minutes

The total length of all 8 movies, using the arithmetic series formula, is 740 minutes. Each movie increases by 5 minutes, starting from 75 minutes. The last movie is 110 minutes long.

Calculating the Total Length of All 8 Movies Using an Arithmetic Series Formula

To determine the total length of the 8 movies, we can use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series:

→ [tex]S_n[/tex] = n/2 × (a + l)

Where:

→ [tex]S_n[/tex] is the total length of all movies

→ n is the number of terms (movies)

→ a is the first term (length of the first movie)

→ l is the last term (length of the last movie)

Given:

→ a = 75 minutes (first movie)

→ d = 5 minutes (increase in length per movie)

→ n = 8 (total number of movies)

First, we find the length of the last movie using the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic series:

→ l = a + (n - 1) × d

Thus:

→ l = 75 + (8 - 1) × 5

    = 75 + 35

    = 110 minutes

Next, we use the sum formula:

→ [tex]S_n[/tex] = n/2 × (a + l)

→ [tex]S_8[/tex] = 8/2 × (75 + 110)

        = 4 × 185

        = 740 minutes

So, the total length of all 8 movies is 740 minutes.

Answer:

So I did most of you table for you:

First blank:4

Second blank:-4

Third blank:-8

Fourth blank: Left to you: Just plug in 6 into 1/2x^2-5x+4 (I will check)

Fifth blank: Left to you: Just plug in 8 into 1/2x^2-5x+4 (I will check)

The graph is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

So they have a table to fill in and they tell you in the first row what they want you to plug in

So the table is asking us to answer this:

What is h(0),h(2),h(4),h(6), and h(8).

h(0) means to replace x with 0 in [tex]\frac{1}{2} x^2-5x+4[/tex].

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(0)^2-5(0)+4[/tex]

[tex]0-0+4[/tex]

[tex]0+4[/tex]

[tex]4[/tex]

So the first blank is 4 since h(0)=4.

h(2) means to replace x with 2 in [tex]\frac{1}{2} x^2-5x+4[/tex].

[tex]\frac{1}{2} (2)^2-5(2)+4[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2} (4)-10+4[/tex]

[tex]2-10+4[/tex]

[tex]-8+4[/tex]

[tex]-4[/tex]

So the second blank is -4 since h(2)=-4.

h(4) means to replace x with 4 in [tex]\frac{1}{2} x^2-5x+4[/tex].

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(4)^2-5(4)+4[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(16)-20+4[/tex]

[tex]8-20+4[/tex]

[tex]-12+4[/tex]

[tex]-8[/tex]

So the third blank is -8 since h(4)=-8

Maybe you can try the last 2 blanks in the table part. That is try computing h(6) and h(8). I will check it for you.

Now the points I have so far are (0,4) from the h(0)=4, (2,-4) from the h(2)=-4, and (4,-8) from the h(4)=-8.

I'm looking for a graph that goes through these points (0,4) , (2,-4) , and (4,-8).

By the way the only graphs that are worth looking at is C and D because they are open up.  I know my curve for h(x)=1/2x^2-5x+4 should be a parabola open up because 1/2 is positive and 1/2 is the coefficient of x^2.

So Graph C has y-intercept (0,10) not (0,4) so Graph C is not right.

Graph D has y-intercept (0,4).  It also goes through (2,-4) and (4,-8).  

I don't know if you notice but the x-axis and y-axis are going up by two's in each graph.

Answer:

Y = 1/3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line increases by 1 unit then goes to right 3 units the line equation must have a slope of 1/3 and must have a y intercept of + 2 since the line crosses the Y axis at +2

C. Gas Station A sells gasoline at a lower rate. Its price is $3.05 per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this, all you need to do is first figure out how much per gallon each of the gas stations offer.

Because Gas station B is practically given to you by the equation, I'll show you how to interpret it:

p = $3.08g

p is the price

g is the gallon

So the price you will pay will be $3.08 times the number of gallons. This means that 1 gallon, if you substitute it will be $3.08.

This would eliminate options A and B.

Now to figure out how much Gas station A charges, just choose one of the prices. All we need to do is to divide the price given by the number of gallons:

[tex]3 gallons = \$ 9.15\\\\\dfrac{3gallons} {3}=\dfrac{\$9.15}{3}=\$3.05[/tex]

Answer:

C. [tex]\widehat{GFE}=300^{\circ}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an image of a circle. We are asked to find the measure of major arc EFG for our given circle.

First of all, we will find measure of arc GE.

We know that the measure of central arc is equal to its subtended arc. The measure of arc GS will be equal to measure of central angle GOE.

Since measure of central angle GOE is 60 degree, so measure of arc GE is 60 degrees as well.

We know that the circumference of circle is equal to 360 degrees. So we can set an equation as:

[tex]\widehat{GE}+\widehat{GFE}=360^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]60^{\circ}+\widehat{GFE}=360^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]60^{\circ}-60^{\circ}+\widehat{GFE}=360^{\circ}-60^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\widehat{GFE}=300^{\circ}[/tex]

Therefore, the measure of arc GFE is 300 degrees and option C is the correct choice.

Answer:

10π/3 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Arc length is:

s = rθ × π/180

where r is the radius and θ is the angle in degrees.

Here, r = 10 mm and θ = 60°.

s = (10) (60) (π/180)

s = 10π/3

Another way to calculate it is to find the entire circumference then divide by 6, since 60° is one-sixth of 360°.

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2+4x+5

We need to find the vertex of the above equation.

The above equation represents the parabola.

The slope of parabola can be found by taking derivative of the given equation

dy/dx = 2x+4

The slope of the parabola at the vertex is zero SO,

2x+4 = 0

2x = -4

x = -4/2

x = -2

Putting value of x =-2 to find the value of y

y = x^2+4x+5

y =(-2)^2+4(-2)+5

y = 4-8+5

y =9-8

y = 1

So, the vertex is (-2,1)

Option C is correct.

The function F(x)= 3x²+x is an odd function, option A is correct.

A relation is a function if it has only One y-value for each x-value.

To determine whether a function is odd or not, we need to check if f(-x) = -f(x) for all x in the domain of the function.

Let's check the function

F(x) = 3x²+ x

F(-x) = 3(-x)² + (-x) = 3x²- x

-f(x) = -(3x² + x) = -3x² - x

Since F(-x) = -f(x), this function is odd.

The other functions are even as they satisfy f(-x)=f(x)

Hence, the function F(x)= 3x²+x is an odd function, option A is correct.

Factor out an x^2 from the first two terms and -5 from the last 2 terms

x^2 (x-7) -5(x-7)

Factor out (x-7)

(x-7) (x^2-5)

Answer:

(x - 7) (x^2 - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

x^3 - 7 x^2 - 5 x + 35

Factor terms by grouping. x^3 - 7 x^2 - 5 x + 35 = (x^3 - 7 x^2) + (35 - 5 x) = x^2 (x - 7) - 5 (x - 7):

x^2 (x - 7) - 5 (x - 7)

Factor x - 7 from x^2 (x - 7) - 5 (x - 7):

Answer:  (x - 7) (x^2 - 5)
