Ashton designs movie sets. for one scene, he has to hang a banner across an archway that takes the shape of a parabola modeled by the quadratic equation y = −x2 + 6x. the banner is to be hung at an angle defined by the linear equation y − x = 4, as shown in the figure.

Element x decays radioactively with a half life of 8 minutes. if there are 450 grams of element x, how long, to the nearest tenth of a minute, would it take the element to decay to 37 grams?

Suppose that an airline uses a seat width of 16.516.5 in. assume men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 14.414.4 in. and a standard deviation of 0.90.9 in. complete parts (a) through (c) below. (a) find the probability that if an individual man is randomly selected, his hip breadth will be greater than 16.516.5 in. the probability is nothing. (round to four decimal places as needed.)

For each polynomial, determine the degree and write the polynomial in descending order. a. –4x^2 – 12 + 11x^4 b. 2x^5 + 14 – 3x^4 + 7x + 3x^3
