Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The domain of all polynomials is all real numbers. To find the range, let's solve that quadratic for its vertex. We will do this by completing the square. To begin, set the quadratic equal to 0 and then move the -10 over by addition. The first rule is that the leading coefficient has to be a 1; ours is a 2 so we factor it out. That gives us:
The second rule is to take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 2 (from the -2x). Half of 2 is 1, and 1 squared is 1. So we add 1 into the parenthesis on the left. BUT we cannot ignore the 2 sitting out front of the parenthesis. It is a multiplier. That means that we didn't just add in a 1, we added in a 2 * 1 = 2. So we add 2 to the right as well, giving us now:
The reason we complete the square (other than as a means of factoring) is to get a quadratic into vertex form. Completing the square gives us a perfect square binomial on the left.
and on the right we will just add 10 and 2:
Now we move the 12 back over by subtracting and set the quadratic back to equal y:
From this vertex form we can see that the vertex of the parabola sits at (1,-12). This tells us that the absolute lowest point of the parabola (since it is positive it opens upwards) is -12. Therefore, the range is R={y|y ≥ -12}

Answer:
0.7823 = 78.23% probability that the response time is between 3 and 9 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the z-score of a measure X is given by:
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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Mean of 7.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.1 minutes.
This means that
For a randomly received emergency call, find the probability that the response time is between 3 and 9 minutes.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 9 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3.
X = 9
has a pvalue of 0.8051
X = 3
has a pvalue of 0.0228
0.8051 - 0.0228 = 0.7823
0.7823 = 78.23% probability that the response time is between 3 and 9 minutes.
