Answer:

The average rate of change between x = 2 and x = 4 is of 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change:

The average rate of change of a function f(x) in an interval [a,b] is given by:

$A = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

In this question:

$f(x) = 4x - 2, b = 4, a = 2$

Thus:

$f(b) = f(4) = 4(4) - 2 = 16 - 2 = 14$

$f(a) = f(2) = 4(2) - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6$

Average rate of change:

$A = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

$A = \frac{14-6}{4-2}$

$A = \frac{8}{2}$

$A = 4$

The average rate of change between x = 2 and x = 4 is of 4.

Answer:

A number cubed plus a 3 times a number squared all multiplied by 2 is equal to 4 times a number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we can't say "in parenthesis", we will have to say the expressions in the parenthesis first and then say "all multiplied by 2" to express parenthesis in word form. The rest are pretty straight forward.

Help!!

Answer:

The answer is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since all of the angles of a triangle add up to be 180, then all you have to do is add the 2 angles together that you have and subtract that number from 180. For example 141+25=166, so, 180-166=14. 14 would be the measure of the third angle.

Answer:

D. 0.9938.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
