Answer:

Discrete(b,c and d)

Continuous (a and e)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Discrete</u>

Discrete Random variables are variables that can only take on integer values. Therefore the following are discrete variables.

b. The number of fish caught during a fishing tournament. e.g. 6 fishes

c. The number of statistics students now reading a book. e.g. 12 Students

d. The number of textbook authors now sitting at a computer. e.g. 9 Authors

<u>Continuous</u>

Continuous random variables can take on an uncountable number of values.

a. The time it takes for a light bulb to burn out. e.g.178.897 seconds

e. The height of a randomly selected giraffe. e,g 16.67 feet

The function f ( x ) = x ^3 + 2x^2− 5 x − 6 has a root at 2. Name all roots of this function.
Tomtit [17]

sub x=1 into f(x),

remainder= 1^3+2(1)^2-5(1)-6= -8

since remainder≠0, x=1 is not a root of the function

sub x=-1,

remainder = (-1)^3+2(-1)^2-5(-1)-6= 0

by remainder theorem,

x=-1 is a root of f(x)

hence, the correct ans is c

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

x=-9

-7(-9) +8y =39

63+8y=39

-63       -63

8y=-24

8y/8 = -24/8  

y= -3

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line through point J(4, 2) with slope 3.
fiasKO [112]
Point slope form is:

y − y_{1} = m(x − x_{1})

Where x_{1} and y_{1} are two known coordinates and m is the slope.

Substitute (4,2) as x and y and 3 as m to find the point-slope form.

<span>y − 2 = 3(x − 4)
</span>
Taking it to the next step would be to turn this into slope-intercept form, y=mx+b

<span>y − 2 = 3(x − 4)
y</span> − 2 = 3x − 12
y = 3x − 10
