Hello,

To solve this problem, you should first put in it slope intercept form.

Here are the steps:

3y + 6 = -2x Add 6 to both sides
3y = -2x - 6 Divide both sides by 3
y = (-2/3)x - 2

The you can see that the slope is (-2/3) and the y-intercept is (0, -2).

I hope this helps,

Answer:

0.0274

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is $\mu =114.8$ and the standard deviation is $\sigma =13.1.$

Calculate

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

for $X=140:$

$Z=\dfrac{140-114.8}{13.1}\approx 1.9237.$

If $X\sim N(114.8,\ 13.1),$ then $Z\sim N(0,1)$

and

$Pr(X>140)=Pr(Z>1.9237).$

Use table for normal distribution probabilities to get that

$Pr(Z>1.9237)=1-Pr(Z\le 1.9237)=1-0.9726=0.0274.$

Suppose the graph of a cubic polynomial function has the same zeroes and passes through the coordinate (0, –5). Describe the ste

olga_2 [115]

1. "the graph has the same zeros" : so let a be the "triple" root of the cubic polynomial function.

2. So f(x)= $(x-a)^{3}$

3. Don't forget that the expression might have a coefficient b as well, and still maintain the conditions:

$f(x)=b(x-a)^{3}$

4. Now, f(0)=-5 so $-5=f(0)=b(0-a)^{3}=b(-a) ^{3}=-ba ^{3}$

$-5=-ba ^{3}$

$5=ba ^{3}$

$b= \frac{5}{ a^{3} }$

5. the function is $f(x)=\frac{5}{ a^{3} }(x-a)^{3}$ where a can be any real number except 0
