Answer:

-3(-3x + 4) = 9x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

-3( Ax + 4) = 9x - 12

-3Ax -12 = 9x - 12

Equating coefficients of x terms on both sides :

-3A = 9

A = -3

Therefore, -3(-3x + 4) = 9x - 12

What is the explicit formula of a1=-3,d=2

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The explicit formula for the given expression is 2 n - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the first term of sequence = -1

The common difference = 2

In a ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION:

The nth term of a sequence is given as

a(n) = a + (n-1) d

⇒ Here, a(n) = -1 + (n-1)(2)

= -1 + 2n -2

= 2n - 3

or, a(n) = 2n - 3

Hence, the explicit formula for the given expression is 2n - 3.

The scores for a certain test of intelligence are normally distributed with mean 85 and standard deviation 11. Find the 90th per

jonny [76]

Answer:

99.1 is the 90th percentile of these scores.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 85

Standard Deviation, σ = 11

We are given that the distribution of score is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.90

$P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 85}{11})=0.90$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(z \leq 1.282) = 0.90$

Putting values, we get,

$\displaystyle\frac{x - 85}{11} = 1.282\\\\x = 99.1$

Thus, 99.1 is the 90th percentile of these scores.
