Determine the y-intercept:

We make the equation 3=-1/2(8)+b

3=-4+b

7=b

Since the y-intercept is b, we have our full equation: y=-1/2x+7

Hope this helped!

Answer:

$b)\ 0.568$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x) = 6x(1- x);\ 0 \le x \le 1$

Required

$P(0.3 < x < 0.7)$

From the question, we have:

$P(a < x < b) = \int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx$

So, we have:

$P(0.3 < x < 0.7) = \int\limits^{0.7}_{0.3} {6x(1 - x)} \, dx$

Open bracket

$P(0.3 < x < 0.7) = \int\limits^{0.7}_{0.3} {6x - 6x^2} \, dx$

Integrate

$P(0.3 < x < 0.7) = \frac{6x^2}{2} - \frac{6x^3}{3}}|\limits^{0.7}_{0.3}$

$P(0.3 < x < 0.7) = 3x^2 - 2x^3|\limits^{0.7}_{0.3}$

Substitute 0.7 and 0.3 for x

$P(0.3 < x < 0.7) = (3*0.7^2 - 2*0.7^3) - (3*0.3^2 - 2*0.3^3)$

Using a calculator, we have:

$P(0.3 < x < 0.7) = (0.784) - (0.216)$

Remove brackets

$P(0.3 < x < 0.7) = 0.784 - 0.216$

$P(0.3 < x < 0.7) = 0.568$
