Hello!

The problem has asked that we simplify the given expression using the Distributive Property. The Distributive Property states the following:

a(b + c) = ab + ac
a(b – c) = ab – ac

In this case, we’ll use the second of the two formulas listed above. Let’s begin by inserting any known values given in the original problem:

a(b – c) = ab – ac
5(2x – 5) = 5(2x) – 5(5)

Now simplify the right side of the equation:

5(2x) – 5(5) = 10x – 25

We have now proven that 5(2x – 5) is equal to 10x – 25. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

I hope this helps!

What is the equation for the vertical asymptote of the function shown below? f(x)=3x^4-3/2x-5

levacccp [35]

$f(x)= \frac{3x^4}{2x-5}$

the va's are where x is undefined, or where the denomenator is zero
first simplify if applicable
cannot simplify

set denom to zero
2x-5=0
2x=5
x=2.5

the vertical assemtote is vertical so it is x=2.5 or 5/2

the VA is x=5/2

Fill in the blank. A(n) _______ distribution has a "bell" shape. A(n) ▼ outlier polygon normal relative frequency distributio

Answer:

Normal Distribution

Step-by-step explanation: A normal distribution will generally have a bell shape. It is also called a bell curve, due to its bell shape.

It is also called Gaussian distribution. The point near the peak is where most of the observations cluster, while the values further away from the mean will be distributed equally in both directions on the curve.
