For a function to be decreasing over an interval, the outputs on the function are getting smaller as the inputs of the function are getting larger, but the outputs could be positive or negative. For a function to be negative over an interval, the outputs must be negative, while the inputs could be positive or negative.

The customer price index(cpi), which measures the cost of a typical package of customer goods,was 208.8 in 2011 and 244.1 in 2016.let x=11 corresponding to the year 2011 an estimate to cpi into 2013 and 2014. assume that the data can be modeled by a straight line and the trend to continue idenfinitely.use data points to find such a line and then estimate the requested quantities

The ratio of the perimeters of two similar triangles is 4: 3. what are the areas of these triangles if the sum of their areas is 130cm2?

Determine if the following statement is true or false. the normal curve is symmetric about its​ mean, mu. choose the best answer below. a. the statement is false. the normal curve is not symmetric about its​ mean, because the mean is the balancing point of the graph of the distribution. the median is the point where​ 50% of the area under the distribution is to the left and​ 50% to the right.​ therefore, the normal curve could only be symmetric about its​ median, not about its mean. b. the statement is true. the normal curve is a symmetric distribution with one​ peak, which means the​ mean, median, and mode are all equal.​ therefore, the normal curve is symmetric about the​ mean, mu. c. the statement is false. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of a​ distribution, and​ therefore, it is impossible for any distribution to be symmetric about the mean. d. the statement is true. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of a​ distribution, and​ therefore, all distributions are symmetric about the mean.
