Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if you use a graphing calculator you we see that the smaller the leading coeffient the wider the parabola.

or use a table and plug in values for y for each x

  y =        x²          5x²            15x²  

x = 1         1             5               15

x = 2        4           20              60

       y is larger for a larger  ax²   a coeffient  

       so the is more narrow for a higher coeffient

f(x) = 5x²  has the smallest coeffient so the widest parabola

Blababa [14]

Answer: 888,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Base: 600 x 600 = 360,000

600 x 440 x 2 (there is 4 triangles and 2 makes 1 square. So there is 2 pairs so times 2)= 528,000

360,000 + 528,000= 888,000

Number of passengers who arrive at the platform in an Amtrack train station for the 2 pm train on a Saturday is a random variabl
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

P(80

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-4

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-4

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 number of passengers who arrive at the platform of a population, and for this case we know the following info

Where \mu=180 and \sigma=25

We are interested on this probability

P(80

For this case we can assume that the random variable is normally distributed.

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(80

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-4

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-4

What is the perimeter of the triangle expressed as a polynomial?
ratelena [41]
Add the polynomials together:
(5x-2)+(2x-3)+(4x+3)
Combine like terms:
(5x+2x+4x) + (-2+-3+3) = 11x-2

So the answer is D.
