Answer! :

y = -2x + 5

Step by Step! :

slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

m being slope, b being the y intercept.

To find the slope, use this equation:

y^2 - y^1 / x^2 - x^1

Plug in your points.

(-1) - (7) / (3) - (-1)

-8 / 4

-2 is your slope! (y = -2x + b)

To solve for b, plug in any one of your points and solve for b. Let's use (3, -1)

-1 = -2(3) + b

-1 = -6 + b

5 = b

Your new equation is...

y = -2x + 5

The lifespans of gorillas in a particular zoo are normally distributed. The average gorilla lives 20.8 years; the

Luda [366]

If the mean is 20.8, one standard deviation each way is adding and subtracting 3.1, so 17.7 and 23.9 (68% of values)

Two standard deviations adding and subtracting 3.1*2 = 6.2, or 14.6 and 27.

Three standard deviations is 11.5 and 30.1

So we have
11.5 - 14.6 - 17.7 - 20.8 - 23.9 - 27 - 30.1

Going left to 11.5 is 3 standard deviations out, so 99.7/2 = 49.85%

Going right to 27 is 2 standard deviations out, so 95/2 = 47.5%

Add those two % to get 97.32%

This is hard to do without a picture so I hope that helps!

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\boxed{\underline{\underline{\maltese{\pink{\pmb{\sf{\: SOLUTION: \: \: \: \: (3x + 4)^{2}}}}}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement is;: 'I think of a number, multiply it by 3, add 4 & square the result.'

At first, let's take the unknown number as 'x' . (asked in the question).

So, the number we think about = x

Now, we need to multiply it by 3. So,

3 * x = 3x

In the next part, we need to add 4 to it so,

3x + 4

Now, by squaring the result, we'll get the expression as,

<u>(3x + 4)²</u>

Hope it helps!
