Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$(4x^2+3x-7)(x-2)$

If a ,b, c are three real number, then by distributive property,

$a(b+c)\Leftrightarrow ab+ac$

Using distributive property, then given expression can be written as

$(4x^2+3x-7)(x)+(4x^2+3x-7)(-2)$

Option A is not a correct way to rewrite the given expression and option C represents a correct way to rewrite the given expression.

Using distributive property, then given expression can be written as

$(4x^2)(x-2)+(3x)(x-2)+(-7)(x-2)$

Option D represents a correct way to rewrite the given expression.

Again using distributive property in the above expression, we get

$(4x^2)(x)+(4x^2)(-2)+(3x)(x)+(3x)(-2)+(-7)(x)+(-7)(-2)$

Option B represents a correct way to rewrite the given expression.

Therefore the correct option is A.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

4. -3

5. 3

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

4. For x > -2, the value of a is the slope of the line. The line goes down 3 units for each 1 to the right, so the slope is -3/1 = -3. Then a = -3.

___

5. The ordered pair (h, k) is typically used to name the point to which a function is translated. The vertex of the function f(x) = |x| is (0, 0). When it is translated to (h, k), the function becomes ...

... q(x) = |x -h| +k

If the new vertex is (3, 0), then h = 3 and k = 0. This is consistent with the equation shown. (k = 0 means q(x) = |x -h|.)

Actual lengths of pregnancy terms for a particular species of mammal are nearly normally distributed about a mean pregnancy leng

HACTEHA [7]

Solution :

The data is normally distributed.

The standard deviation is 18 days

Here the data is normally distributed and 54 days is 3 days of standard deviation.

Therefore, the percentage of the births that would be $\text{expected to occur}$ within the 54 days of the mean $\text{pregnancy}$ length is given by :

= P( -3 < Z < 3)

= 0.9544

= 95 %

Therefore, about 95% of the births would be $\text{expected to occur}$ within 54 days of the men $\text{pregnancy}$ length.

A. (7/13)·(1/3)=7/39. P=7/39
B. (6/13)·(2/3)=12/39. P=12/39
C. (7/13)·(2/3)=14/39. P=14/39
D. (6/13)·(1/3)=6/39. P=6/39

All the numbers from Bag B were written as thirds cause their probabilities could be simplified to make multiplying easier
