Step-by-step explanation:
put -5 into x
then
3*-5 is -15 (-2)
-17 is your answer
Solve what is in parenthesis first (5-9) = -4
Solve exponents next -4^3 = -64
Divide next

= -32
Lastly, subtract and resolve the negatives which become a positive number 125 - (-32) = 125 + 32 = 157
Answer:
The range is y ≥ -1
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ f(x) = (x - 4)(x - 2)
∴ f(x) = x² - 2x - 4x + 8
∴ f(x) = x² - 6x + 8 ⇒ quadratic function (ax² + bx + c) represented by
parabola graphically
∵ a = 1 , b = -6 , c = 8
∴ x-coordinate of its vertex = -b/2a = -(-6)/2×1 = 3
∴ f(3) = (3)² - 6(3) + 8 = -1
∵ a is positive ⇒ the curve has minimum point and it's open upward
∴ the minimum point is (3 , -1)
∴ The range is y ≥ -1 ⇒ because the minimum value is -1
Answer:
His actual score is 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are interested in calculating Wayne’s actual score on the ACT
when we say the scores have being standardized, it means the score was reported in terms of the z-score and not the initial raw scores.
Now, mathematically, for the scores to have a negative z-score, it means it is actually below the mean.
The formula for the z-score or standard score is given below;
z-score = (x - mean)/SD
where in this case, x = ? which is the score we are looking for , z-score = -0.5 , mean score = 18 and standard deviation of the scores = 6
So, substituting these values into the z-score equation, we have;
-0.5 = (x-18)/6
x-18 = 6(-0.5)
x -18 = -3
x = -3 + 18
x = 15
