There are two possible answers to the question. I am choosing between 2 and 3.
2 and 3 can be the scale factors that produces and expansion under a dilation of the original image.
The original image is represented by 1. It is a dilation if the scale factor is more than 1. The value of the scale factor will increase if the dilated image is expanded.
You would use order or operations to solve this problem
4 to the second power is 16 -------> 12+16= 28
Your answer would be 28
Answer:
a) 0.3571 = 35.71% probability that the stock price will be more than $25.
b) 0.1429 = 14.29% probability that the stock price will be less than or equal to $18.
Step-by-step explanation:
Uniform probability distribution:
An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.
The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:

The probability of finding a value between c and d is:

The probability of finding a value above x is:

Uniformly distributed between $16 and $30 per share.
This means that 
a) More than $25?

0.3571 = 35.71% probability that the stock price will be more than $25.
b) Less than or equal to $18?

0.1429 = 14.29% probability that the stock price will be less than or equal to $18.
The easiest way to do this is to plug in the numbers for the variebles and see if they equal the same in both sides. lets try the first one 5(1)+2(-3)=-1, multiply the nmbers to get 5-6=-1 now simplify to get the answer of -1=-1, they both equal the same so this means that the first option is the correct one
Hope this helps
