Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting it to z, we can use the formula of z-score:

z-score = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Where

x is the value we are checking for (here, x = 79)

\mu  is the mean, which is 85

\sigma is the standard deviation, which is 4 now

<em>Let's plug the information into the formula and solve for the answer:</em>

<em>\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\frac{79-85}{4}\\-\frac{6}{4}\\-1.5</em>

<em />

<em>B is the correct answer.</em>

If f(x)=x^2-7 and h(x)=7x-5, then f(h(2))=
zaharov [31]
We are given 3 equations. Using these equations we can find f(h(2)).

h(x)=7x-5
h(2)=7(2)-5
h(2)=14-5
h(2)=9

f(x)=x^2-7
f(h(2))=(7x-5)^2-7
we know the answer for h(2) by now, so we can substitute for that.
f(9)=9^2-7
f(9)=81-7
f(9)=74

so f(h(2))=74

How to solve 4+|7-m|=5
notka56 [123]
When
|a|=b
assume
a=b and -a=b
so

4+|7-m|=5
minus 4 from both sides
|7-m|=1
assume
7-m=1 and
-(7-m)=1

7-m=1
minus 7 both sidees
-m=-6
times -1 both sides
m=6

-(7-m)=1
distribute
-7+m=1
add 7 to both sides
m=8

m=6 and 8

Find the value of c that completes the square
Kitty [74]

Answer:

c = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 16x + c

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 16x

x² + 2(- 8)x + 64

= (x - 8)²

Thus

x² - 16x + 64 = (x - 8)² ← a perfect square

with c = 64

Last week Mark ran 31 miles more than Jack. Mark ran 46 miles .How many miles did Jack run
Levart [38]
You take what Mark ran, 46 miles, and you see that Mark ran 31 more miles than Jack, so the equation would be 46-31, which would be 15 miles. So, Jack ran 15 miles.
