Answer:

B) symmetric

Step-by-step explanation:

We will find the sample space for rolling two dices first

Here first value in ordered pair represents yellow die and second represents blue die

(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)

The subtraction gives us:

0 , -1 , -2, -3, -4, -5, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3, -4, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -2, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0

So the distribution will be as follows:

X 5 4 3 2 1 0 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5

P(X) 1/36 2/36 3/36 4/36 5/36 6/36 5/36 4/36 3/36 2/36 1/36

By observing the probabilities, we can conclude that the distribution will be symmetric

Hence, Option B is correct ..

-2(x - 5) = -14 PLEASEEEEE HELPPPPPP

Okay so you need to start off by using the distributive property, meaning you are going to multiply -2 by both items within the parentheses. this gives you -2x + 10 = -14. from here you want to isolate x, so you’ll subtract both sides by 10 to move it to the other side. this gives you -2x=-24. then you’ll divide both sides by -2 to completely isolate x. this gives you x=12. does that make sense?

Solve -8/5 x - 6 = -54

Musya8 [376]

The equation is false so no solution.

Simplify 8/5 * -6 to -48/5

Move the negative sign to the left

Simplify brackets

Since 48/5 = -54 its false so no answer

Help! Will give brainly! Explain why the value x=4 is not a solution to the inequality 2x>10

melamori03 [73]

Answer

8 is not greater than 10

Step-by-step explanation:

2x>10

2(4)>10

8<10

x=4 can not be the solution to this equation because 8 is less than 10

*just as a side note think of the > sign as an alligator, the mouth always is open towards the larger number

Write the equation of the quadratic function that passes through the points (-1, 1), (1, 5), and (2,10).

Serjik [45]

Answer:

$\displaystyle f(x)=x^2+2x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System Of Linear Equations </u>

In this problem, we'll need to solve a 3x3 system of linear equations because we have three unknowns and three conditions.

We are required to find the equation of the quadratic function that passes through the points (-1, 1), (1, 5), and (2,10)

The general quadratic function can be written as

$\displaystyle f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$

We need to find the values of a,b, and c. Let's use the first condition, i.e. f(-1)=1

$\displaystyle f(-1)=a(-1)^2+b(-1)+c$

$\displaystyle f(-1)=a-b+c$

$\displaystyle a-b+c=1.....[eq\ 1]$

Now we use the second condition f(1)=5

$\displaystyle f(1)=a(1)^2+b(1)+c$

$\displaystyle f(1)=a+b+c$

$\displaystyle a+b+c=5.......[eq\ 2]$

Finally, we use the third condition f(2)=10

$\displaystyle f(2)=a(2)^2+b(2)+c$

$\displaystyle f(2)=4a+2b+c$

$\displaystyle 4a+2b+c=10....[eq\ 3]$

We put together eq 1, eq 2, and eq 3 to form the system

$\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}a-b+c=1\\ a+b+c=5\\ 4a+2b+c=10\end{matrix}\right.$

Adding the first two equations we have

$\displaystyle 2a+2c=6$

$\displaystyle a+c=3$

And also

$\displaystyle b=2$

Using the above equation and the value of b in the third equation, we have

$\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}a+c=3\\ 4a+c=6\end{matrix}\right.$

Subtracting the first equation from the second

$\displaystyle 3a=3$

$\displaystyle a=1$

And therefore

$\displaystyle c=2$

Now we have all the values, the quadratic function is

$\displaystyle \boxed{f(x)=x^2+2x+2}$
