First, "graph" means graph of the given function f(x). It is not necessary to include the graph with the question because at this level, either the user can "see" the graph mentally, or use technology (calculator or software) to graph the function.
(a) The Leading coefficient test for polynomial functions
The test is as follows. The sign of the leading coefficient (LC, coefficient of the highest power of the variable) together with the degree (odd or even) of the polynomial function tells us the end behaviour of the function according to the following table:
LC/degree Even Odd
Positive +inf/+inf -inf/+inf
Negative -inf/-inf +inf/-inf
It can be easily memorized by comparing with a line or a parabola
y=x (positive leading coefficient, odd degree) goes from -inf to +inf
y=x^2 (positive leading coefficient, even degree) goes from +inf to +inf.
Any negative leading coefficient will just invert the signs.
For the given polynomial function
f(x) = x^2(x+2) = x^3+x^2
The leading coefficient is +1 (positive), and degree is three (odd)
So it behaves the same way as a straight line y=x, so the end behviours are
{-inf, +inf} as x-> {-inf, +inf} respectively.
(b) x-intercepts
Since f(x)=x^2(x+2), the x-intercepts are x=0 (multiplicity 2) and x=-2.
=>
From the left, graph is increasing and crosses x=-2 once from negative to positive, after which graph is decreasing. At x=0, because of the root with multiplicity 2, graph touches the origin (0,0) and turns back towards +inf.
(c) the y-intercept
from the polynomial f(x)=x^2(x+2)=x^3+x^2 = x^3+x^2+0,
we see that the y-intercept =0 because the "initial value" or the constant term is zero.

Answer:
And we can find this probability using the complement rule and we got:
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where and
We are interested on this probability
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:
And we can find this probability using the complement rule and we got:
