Answer:
0.2684 is the probability that the temperature reading is between 0.50 and 1.75.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:
Mean, μ = 0 degrees
Standard Deviation, σ = 1 degrees
We are given that the distribution of thermometer readings is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.
Formula:

P(Between 0.50 degrees and 1.75 degrees)

0.2684 is the probability that the temperature reading is between 0.50 and 1.75.
Recall to always convert the mixed fractions to "improper" fractions first,
The correct axis of symmetry is x = -1.
Explanation:
Our equation is

.
This is in vertex form, which is
y = a(x-h)² + k, where (h, k) is the vertex.
In our equation, h corresponds with -1 and k corresponds with -3, making the vertex (-1, -3).
The axis of symmetry is the x-coordinate of the vertex; this makes the axis of symmetry for this equation x = -1.
Answer:
1 / x^8
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a^b / a^c = a^ (b-c)
x^7 / x^ 15 = x^ (7-15) = x^-8
We also that that a^-b = 1/ a^b
x^-8 = 1 / x^8
