Answer:

66.48% of full-term babies are between 19 and 21 inches long at birth

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Mean length of 20.5 inches and a standard deviation of 0.90 inches.

This means that \mu = 20.5, \sigma = 0.9

What percentage of full-term babies are between 19 and 21 inches long at birth?

The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 21 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 19. Then

X = 21

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

Z = \frac{21 - 20.5}{0.9}

Z = 0.56

Z = 0.56 has a p-value of 0.7123

X = 19

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

Z = \frac{19 - 20.5}{0.9}

Z = -1.67

Z = -1.67 has a p-value of 0.0475

0.7123 - 0.0475 = 0.6648

0.6648*100% = 66.48%

66.48% of full-term babies are between 19 and 21 inches long at birth

A function assigns the values. The range of the function will be between (-∞,10].

<h3>What is a Function?</h3>

A function assigns the value of each element of one set to the other specific element of another set.

The given function f(x)=10-x² is a parabolic function that is negative, therefore, will open downwards. Now, the range of the function can be found as,

f(x)=10-x²

y=10-x²

y-10 = -x²

-y+10 = x²

-y + 10 = 0

y = 10

Thus, the range of the function will be between (-∞,10].

Multiply both sides with -2
X + 6 = 2
X = 2 - 6
X = -4

\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations}&#10;\\ \quad \\\\&#10;&#10;\begin{array}{rllll} &#10;% left side templates&#10;f(x)=&{{  A}}({{  B}}x+{{  C}})+{{  D}}&#10;\\ \quad \\&#10;y=&{{  A}}({{  B}}x+{{  C}})+{{  D}}&#10;\\ \quad \\&#10;f(x)=&{{  A}}\sqrt{{{  B}}x+{{  C}}}+{{  D}}&#10;\\ \quad \\&#10;f(x)=&{{  A}}(\mathbb{R})^{{{  B}}x+{{  C}}}+{{  D}}&#10;\\ \quad \\&#10;f(x)=&{{  A}} sin\left({{ B }}x+{{  C}}  \right)+{{  D}}&#10;\end{array}

now, with that template in mind, let's take a peek at this function

\bf \begin{array}{lllcclll}&#10;y=&2(&1x&-2)^2&-4\\&#10;&\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\&#10;&A&B&C&D&#10;\end{array}\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;A\cdot B=2\impliedby \textit{shrunk by a factor of 2, of half-size}\\\\&#10;\cfrac{C}{B}= \cfrac{-2}{1}\implies -2\impliedby \textit{horizontal right shift of 2 units}\\\\&#10;D=-4\impliedby \textit{vertical down shift of 4 units}

so, the graph of y=2(x-2)²-4, is really the same graph of y=x², BUT, narrower, and moved about horizontally and vertically

Tomas factored the polynomial completely. What is true about his final product? 3x4−18x3+9x2−54x Ax(x2+B)(x+C)
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

A and B are both 3.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is 3x^4-18x^3+9x^2-54x.

We factor the GCF to obtain:

3x(x^3-6x^2+3x-18)

We factor further by grouping to get:

3x[x^2(x-6)+3(x-6)]

3x(x^2+3)(x-6)

We compare this to the given factored expression:

3x(x^2+3)(x-6)=Ax(x^2+B)(x+C)

We must have A=3,B=3, C=-6
