What is p(4 ≤ x ≤ 6)? explain. if p(x ≤ a) = 0.2, what is a? explain.

(a) 0.4

(b) a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The area under the curve from x=4 to x=6 is 0.2 units high and 2 units wide, so is 0.2·2 = 0.4. (The area of a rectangle is the product of length and width.)

(b) The area is 0.2 and the height of the curve is 0.2, so the width of the region of concern is 0.2/0.2 = 1. (Again, area = height·width, or width = area/height.) 1 unit from the left end is found at X=3, so a = 3.

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
