Answer:
5.16
Step-by-step explanation:
Since after x=3, value of y starts decreasing for increasing values of x, let's choose. Also we need to find f(x) for x=3.4
x=3,4,5 and f(x)=7,3,1 to find lagrange polynomial
P(x)= ((x-x2)(x-x3)y1)/((x1-x2)(x1-x3) + ((x-x1)(x-x3)y2)/((x2-x1)(x2-x3) + ((x-x1)(x-x2)y3)/((x3-x1)(x3-x2)
P(x)= ((x-4)(x-5)7)/((3-4)(3-5)) + ((x-3)(x-5)3)/((4-3)(4-5)) + ((x-3)(x-4)1)/((5-3)(5-4))
P(x)= x² -11x+31
P(3.4)= 5.16
we have
<u>The system of equations</u>
-------> equation 
-------> equation 
Substitute equation
in equation 

subtract
both sides


Divide by
both sides

the solution is the point 
therefore
the answer is
the solution to the system of equations is the point 
Answer:
From least likely to most likely:
Colorado Bronze wins
I Am Pat wins
Good Legs Lance wins
Step-by-step explanation:
Converting all probabilities to the same type may be easier to visualize and see the chances. Let's convert each chance to percentage:
P(I Am Pat wins) = 3/10 = <u>30%</u>
P(Good Legs Lance wins) = 0.6 = <u>60%</u>
P(Colorado Bronze wins) = 10%= <u>10%</u>
Thus, the desired order is:
Colorado Bronze wins
I Am Pat wins
Good Legs Lance wins
2(x + 3) = x - 4
distribute
2x + 6 = x - 4
either subtract 6 from both sides or add 4. i will be subtracting 6.
2x = x - 10
subtract x from both sides
x = -10
