Answer: Choice C
h(x) = -x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 5
===========================================
Explanation:
When reflecting the function f(x) over the y axis, we replace every x with -x and simplify like so
f(x) = -x^4 - 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 4x + 5
f(-x) = -(-x)^4 - 2(-x)^3 + 3(-x)^2 - 4(-x) + 5
f(-x) = -x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 5
h(x) = -x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 5
Note the sign changes that occur for the terms that have odd exponents (the terms -2x^3 and -4x become +2x^3 and +4x); while the even exponent terms keep the same sign.
The reason why we replace every x with -x is because of the examples mentioned below
-----------
Examples:
The point (1,2) moves to (-1,2) after a y axis reflection
Similarly, (-5,7) moves to (5,7) after a y axis reflection.
As you can see, the y coordinate stays the same but the x coordinate flips in sign from negative to positive or vice versa. This is the direct reason for the replacement of every x with -x.
Answer:
It's already a rational number?
Step-by-step explanation:
A rational number is any number that can be written as a fraction/ratio, and
is certainly a fraction. If you meant
as a decimal, then it'd be 2.625.
There are 2 answers: Choice 1, Choice 4
=======================================
Why is this? Because we use the rule
P(A & B) = P(A) * P(B)
which only works if events A and B are independent
----
For the first answer choice,
P(A) * P(B) = 0.6*0.4 = 0.24 = P(A & B)
so that matches.
The same applies to the fourth answer choice as well
P(A) * P(B) = 0.3*0.2= 0.06 = P(A & B)
----
The other answer choices don't match up.
The second answer choice has
P(A) * P(B) = 0.3*0.4 = 0.12 but that doesn't match with the 0.70 given
Similarly for the third answer choice,
P(A) * P(B) = 0.5*0.1 = 0.05 which doesn't match with the 0.60
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
If the common difference is d we can write:
-5 + 9d = 13
9d = 18
d = 2
