Due to a negative value of P(X = x), it is found that the following is not a probability distribution.

---------------------

A sequence (x, P(X = x)) is a probability distribution if:

The sum of all values of P(X = x) equals 1.
There is no negative values of P(X = x).

In this problem, P(X = 2) is negative, thus, it is not a probability distribution.

If f(x) = 2x - 4 and g(x) = x^2+3, find each value. 19. (f - g)(x) 20. (f • g)(x)

just olya [345]

Step-by-step explanation:

$(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = (2x - 4) - ( {x}^{2} + 3) \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 2x - 4 - {x}^{2} - 3 \\ \red{ \boxed{\therefore (f - g)(x) = - {x}^{2} + 2x - 7}}$

The line that contains a slope of 1/2 and passes through the point (-2, -3) in standard form

mash [69]

Write the equation of the line that satisfies the given conditions, Express the final equation in standard form. Contains the point (2,5) and is parallel to the line x-2y=-5
The given equation can be written 2y=x+5; y = (1/2)x+(5/2)
It's slope is 1/2

So any line parallel to it has slope = 1/2
If the line also passes thru (2,5), 5 = (1/2)2+b; b=4
Therefore the equation you want is y = (1/2)x+4
