Y=2(x+3)^2+2

y=2(x^2+6x+9)+2

y=2x^2+12x+20

dy/dx=4x+12

The graph is decreasing when dy/dx, which is velocity, is less than zero so:

dy/dx<0 when:

4x+12<0

4x<-12

x<-3

So the graph is decreasing from x=(-oo, -3)

5 plus the difference of 9 and 4

irakobra [83]

So first, you subtract 9 and 4, which gives you 5. Then, you add that to 5. That gives you 10.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

36.88% probability that her pulse rate is between 69 beats per minute and 81 beats per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 75, \sigma = 12.5$
