The difference quotient and simplification will be = [4 -h-2x]
The given equation is as follows: f(x)= 4x - x²
For finding the quotient and further simplification we must follow the following steps:
[f(x + h) - f(x)] / h = [4(x + h) - (x + h)² - 4x + x²]/ h
<h3>What is simplification of algebraic operations?</h3>
Getting the functions in their lowest terms is known as simplification.
Brackets will get open and solved further;
[f(x + h) - f(x)] / h = [4(x + h) - (x + h)² - 4x + x²]/ h
[f(x + h) - f(x)] / h = [4h - h² - 2x]/ h
Finally dividing the whole equation with h;
= [4 - h - 2x]

Answer:
(-3, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) Rewrite the second equation so 3y is on one side of the equation:
3y=6+5x
2.) Substitute the given value of 3y (replacing 3y with 6+5x, since we know they equal each other) into the equation 17x=-60-3y
Should end up with this:
17x=-60-(6+5x)
3.) Solve 17x=-60-(6+5x)
Calculate Difference: 17x=-66-5x
Combine Like Terms: 22x = -66
Divided both sides by 22 to isolate and solve for x: -3
So We know x=-3, now we got to find the y value. We can use either the first or second equation to find y value, so lets use the second.
3y=6+5x
1.) We know that x=-3, so we can simply substitute x in the equation
3y=6+5x with -3
3y=6+5(-3)
2.) Solve 3y=6+5(-3)
Combine Like Term: 3y=6+-15
Combine Like Term Even More: 3y= -9
Divide by 3 on both sides to isolate and solve for y: y=-3
So now we know y=-3 and once again we know x=-3, so if we format that
(-3,-3)

Researchers recorded the speed of ants on trails in their natural environments. The ants studied, Leptogenys processionalis, all have the same body size in their adult phase, which made it easy to measure speeds in units of body lengths per second (bl/s). The researchers found that, when traffic is light and not congested, ant speeds vary roughly Normally, with mean 6.20 bl/s and standard deviation 1.58 bl/s. (a) What is the probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s? You may find Table B useful. (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.)
Answer:
0.7762
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve using z score formula
z = (x-μ)/σ, where
x is the raw score
μ is the population mean
σ is the population standard deviation.
Population mean = 6.20 bl/s
Standard deviation = 1.58 bl/s.
x = 5 bl/s
z = 5 - 6.20/1.58
z = -0.75949
The probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s is P( x > 5)
Probability value from Z-Table:
P(x<5) = 0.22378
P(x>5) = 1 - P(x<5)
= 1 - 22378
= 0.77622
Approximately to 4 decimal places = 0.7762
The probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s is 0.7762
Answer:
9625
Step-by-step explanation:
If 385 alcohol swabs were defective, then 385 is 4% of all produced alcohol swabs.
385*25 = 9625
9625 alcohol swabs were produced
