700 calories
1750 divided by 5 is 350
multiply that by two and you get 700
The probability that you will guess the first answer correctly = 1/2 = 0.5
The probability that you will guess the second answer correctly = 1/2 = 0.5
The probability that you will guess the third answer correctly = 1/2 = 0.5
The probability that you will guess all three answers correctly is
(0.5) x (0.5) x (0.5) = 0.125 = 12.5% .

Number of possible ways to score 0 right out of 3 questions: 1 way
Number of possible ways to score 1 right out of 3 questions: 3 ways
Number of possible ways to score 2 right out of 3 questions: 3 ways
Number of possible ways to score 3 right out of 3 questions: 1 way
Statistically, if your answers are all pure guesses,
then on the average, the score you expect is
(0 + 33-1/3 + 33-1/3 + 33-1/3 + 66-2/3 + 66-2/3 + 66-2/3 + 100) / 8
= 400 / 8
= 50% .
If you're happy with that score, great !
Go to the movies the night before the test,
and start guessing.

Explanation:</h2>
The rational expression is given by:
The denominator can't be zero, therefore:
Finally,<em> the values of x that make the rational expression undefined are </em>
<em></em>
<em>x = 7 and x = -7</em>
Just by comparing the plots of f(x) and g(x), it's clear that g(x) is just some positive scalar multiple of f(x), so that for some constant k, we have
g(x) = k • f(x) = kx² = (√k x)²
The plot of the transformed function g(x) = (√k x)² passes through the point (1, 4), which means
g(1) = (√k • 1)² = 4
and it follows that k = 4. So g(x) = 4x² = (2x)² and B is the correct choice.
