Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
can be broken down into three fractions, coefficients, powers of p, powers of q.

Simplify the first fraction, then simplify the others by subtracting numerator exponents minus denominator exponents.

2/8 and 4/16 are equivalent to 1/4
Answer:
x = 3 ± 
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 6x - 4 = 0 ( add 4 to both sides )
x² - 6x = 4
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides
x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 = 4 + 9
(x - 3)² = 13 ( take square root of both sides )
x - 3 = ±
( add 3 to both sides )
x = 3 ± 
Answer:
D. -4
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope formula is
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(x2,y2) = (4,7)
(x1, y1) = (5,3)
So (7-3)/(4-5) = 4/-1 = -4
15.87% of the population does not meet the minimum standards.
We use z-scores to find this probability:
z=(X-μ)/σ = (85-100)/15 = -15/15 = -1
Using a z-table (http://www.-table.com) we see that the area to the left of, less than, this is 0.1587. This is 15.87%.
