The choices are missing but we can find the answer from the given information

Answer:

The function which models the area of the rectangle is A(x) = 2x² - 6x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the area of a rectangle is A = l w, where l is its length and w is its width

∵ The length of a rectangle is (2x - 4) units

∵ The width of the rectangle is (x - 1) units

- Use the formula of area to find its area

∵ A = l w

∴ A = (2x - 4)(x - 1)

Let us multiply the two brackets

∵ (2x - 4)(x - 1) = (2x)(x) + (2x)(-1) + (-4)(x) + (-4)(-1)

∴ (2x - 4)(x - 1) = 2x² + (-2x) + (-4x) + 4

- Add the like terms

∴ (2x - 4)(x - 1) = 2x² + (-6x) + 4

∴ (2x - 4)(x - 1) = 2x² - 6x + 4

Write A as a function of x

∵ The area of the rectangle is A(x)

∵ The area of the rectangle is 2x² - 6x + 4

∴ A(x) = 2x² - 6x + 4

The function which models the area of the rectangle is A(x) = 2x² - 6x + 4

A line segment has two endpoints unlike a line where a line is infinite with no end! :) Think of a line segment essentially just being two points on a line. :)

Write each of the following expressions without using absolute value: |z−6|−|z−5|, if z<5

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The answer is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:

$|z-6|-|z-5|,\ if\ z$

To find:

The expression without absolute value.

Solution:

First of all, let us learn about the absolute value function:

$y = f(x) = |x| =\left \{ {{x\ if\ x>0} \atop {-x\ if\ x$

i.e. value is x if x is positive

value is -x if x is negative

Here the given expression contains two absolute value functions:

$|z-6|$ and $|z-5|$

Using the definition of absolute value function as per above definition.

$|z-5| =\left \{ {{(z-5)\ if\ z>5} \atop {-(z-5)\ if\ z$

$|z-6| =\left \{ {{(z-6)\ if\ z>6} \atop {-(z-6)\ if\ z$

Now, it is given that z < 5 that means z will also be lesser than 6 i.e. z < 6

So, given expression $|z-6|-|z-5|,\ if\ z$ will be equivalent to :

$-(z-6) - (-(z-5))\\\Rightarrow -z+6 +z-5 = \bold{1}$

So, the expression is equivalent to 1.

A normal distribution has a standard deviation equal to 39. What is the mean of this normal distribution if the probability of s

Naily [24]

Answer:

The mean is $\mu = 131$

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:

$\sigma = 39$
