Answer:

-9x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You would distribute first.

− ( x + 3 ) − 2 ( 4x − 3 ) → -x − 3 − 8x + 6

(If you see a negative sign in front of a parenthesis without a number, its usually a negative 1)

From there, you would combine like terms.

-x − 3 − 8x + 6 → -9x + 3

If you place a 89-foot ladder against the top of a 80-foot building, how many feet will

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{39 ft}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the distance from the foot of the ladder to the base of the building.

We have a right triangle, so we can use Pythagoras' Theorem.

$\begin{array}{rcl}80^{2} + x^{2}& = & 89^{2} \\6400+ x^{2} & = & 7921\\x^{2} & = & 1521\\x & = & \sqrt{1521}\\& = &\mathbf{39}\\\end{array}\\\text{The foot of the ladder will be $\large \boxed{\textbf{39 ft}}$ from the base of the building,}$

How do I multiply indices

Alexus [3.1K]

remember that when multiplying indices, you add the powers. When dividing indices, remember that you subtract the powers. When taking the power of a number which has already been raised to a power, you must multiply the values of these powers. Any value raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1.

For a standardized psychology examination intended for psychology majors, the historical data show that scores have a mean of 50

Volgvan

Answer:

$P(\bar X>530)=1-0.808=0.192$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 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".

Let X the random variable that represent the scores, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(\mu=505,\sigma=170)$
