Answer:

y = -3(x+2)^2 - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a(x+2)^2 -6

-18 = a(-2)^2 - 6

-12 = 4a

a = -3

y = -3(x+2)^2 - 6

Answer:

a) $Z = -0.8$

b) $Z = 2.4$

c) Mary's score was 241.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 210, \sigma = 25$

a) Find the z-score of John who scored 190

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{190 - 210}{25}$

$Z = -0.8$

b) Find the z-score of Bill who scored 270

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{270 - 210}{25}$

$Z = 2.4$

c) If Mary had a score of 1.25, what was Mary’s score?

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$1.25 = \frac{X - 210}{25}$

$X - 210 = 25*1.25$

$X = 241.25$

Mary's score was 241.25.

7x+1/2(x+1/4)=3(6x-9)-8

ycow [4]

Answer:

x = 381/24 = 3 29/84

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 1/2(x + 1/4) = 3(6x - 9) - 8

Use the distributive property to multiply 1/2 by x + 1/4.

7x + 1/2x + 1/8 = 3(6x - 9) - 8

Combine 7x (14/2x) and 1/2x to get 15/2.

15/2x + 1/8 = 3(6x - 9) - 8

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 6x - 9.

15/2x + 1/8 = 18x - 27 - 8

Subtract 8 from -27 to get -35.

15/2x + 1/8 = 18x - 35

Subtract 18x from both sides.

-21/2x + 1/8 = -35

Subtract 1/8 from both sides.

-21/2x = -35 - 1/8

-35 is the same as -280/8.

-21/2x = (-280 - 1)/8

Subtract 1 from -280 to get -281.

-21/2x = -281/8

Multiply both sides by -2/21 (reciprocal of -21/2).

x = (-281 * -2)/(8 * 21)

You can cross cancel -2 and 8 by extracting 2 (they become -1 and 4 respectively).

x = (-281 * -1)/(4 * 21)

Multiply -281 by -1 to get 281.

x = 281/(4 * 21)

Multiply 4 by 21 to get 84.

x = 281/84

Can this fraction be simplified into a mixed number? Yes it can. It becomes 3 29/84. (252 (3 * 84) + 29 = 281)

x = 3 29/84

Work check: x is substituted for 281/84 (convenience)

7 * 281/84 + 1/2(281/84 + 1/4) = 3((6 * 281)/84 - 9) - 8

1967/84 + 1/2(281/84 + 1/4) = 3((6 * 281)/84 - 9) - 8

1967/84 + 1/2(302/84) = 3((6 * 281)/84 - 9) - 8

(1967 + 151)/84 = 3((6 * 281)/84 - 9) - 8

2118/84 = 3(1686/84 - 9) - 8

2118/84 = 3((1686 - 756)/84) - 8

2118/84 = 3(930/84) - 8

2118/84 = 2790/84 - 672/84

2118/84 = (2790 - 672)/84

2118/84 = 2118/84

So x = 3 29/84 is correct.
