Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x^2+x

f(x-1) = (x - 1) ^ 2 + (x - 1)

= x^2 - 2x + 1 + x - 1

= x^2 - 3x

and

f(x+1) = (x + 1) ^ 2 + (x + 1)

= x^2 + 2x + 1 + x + 1

= x^2 + 3x + 2

now

f(x-1) + f(x+1) = 6

x^2 - 3x + x^2 + 3x + 2 = 6

2x^2 = 4

X = √2

Solve the equation 12 + 5n = 32 for n. <br> A. -4 <br> B. -2 <br> C. 1 <br> D. 4

The answer is D) because if you substitute the N for each of your answer choices for example : 12+5(4)=32
5•4=20 and 12+20=32

You recently took a statistics exam in a large class. The instructor tells the class that the scores were Normally distributed,

Lunna [17]

Answer:

b. the area to the right of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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, which is also the area to the left of Z. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X, which is the area to the right of Z.

In this problem:

$X = 96, \mu = 72, \sigma = 12$

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

$Z = \frac{96 - 72}{12}$

$Z = 2$

Percentage who did better:

P(Z > 2), which is the area to the right of 2.

If 3a-2b= 8 and a+3b=7 what is the value of 4a+b?

Fittoniya [83]

Step 1: Find the value of one variable in terms of the other.

$a+3b=7\\a=7-3b$

Step 2: Substitute the value you just found for this variable in the other equation.

$3a-2b=8\\3(7-3b)-2b=8\\21-9b-2b=8\\21-11b=8\\21=8+11b\\13=11b\\\frac{13}{11}=b\\ b=1\frac{2}{11}$

Step 3: Use your new value for the second variable to find the first.

$a+3b=7\\a+3(1\frac{2}{11})=7\\a+3\frac{6}{11}=7\\\\a=3\frac{5}{11}$

Now that we know the values for a and b we can find the value of 4a+b.

$4a+b\\4(3\frac{5}{11})+1\frac{2}{11}\\12+\frac{20}{11}+1\frac{2}{11}\\\\12+1\frac{9}{11}+1\frac{2}{11}\\\\\boxed{15}$
