Answer:
y = 2x² - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
We must find a pattern in the numbers. Set out the numbers in a table (Columns 1 and 2 in the table).
<u>x</u> <u> y</u> <u>y/2</u> <u>y/2 + 5
</u>
2 -2 -1 4
3 8 4 9
4 22 11 16
5 40 20 25
It looks like all y-values are multiples of 2.
Let's divide them by 2 (Column 3).
The numbers don't increase evenly. We may have a quadratic function.
If we add 5 to each quotient, we get a set of values equal to x² (Column 4).
y/2 + 5 = x²
y + 10 = 2x²
y = 2x² - 10
The function is y = 2x² - 10.
{(3x)}^{2}-2(3x)(5)+{5}^{2}
−2(3x)(5)+5
2
{(3x-5)}^{2}
Answer:
b.
Step-by-step explanation:
Stem is the first digit and the leaf is the last digit.
Below the table is explained that 1 l 7 is 1.7 because it also could mean 17. So with that clear the terms from the Stem l Leaf are as follow:
1 combined with 3, 7 and 7:
1.3, 1.7 and 1.7
2 combined with 6, 8 and 8:
2.6, 2.8, 2.8
3 combined with 5 and 7:
3.5 and 3.7
All the terms:
1.3, 1.7, 1.7, 2.6, 2.8, 2.8, 3.5, 3.7
Answer:
0.3 or 30%
Step-by-step explanation:
Since no innocent student will ever be caught, the probability that a student sends an email and/or text message during a lecture AND gets caught is given by the product of the probability of a student sending a message (60%) by the probability of the professor catching them (50%) :

The probability is 0.3 or 30%.
