How to find an equation for an exponential word problem.

What expression is equivalent to (2x-1)(x-3)?

In a test for esp (extrasensory perception), a subject is told that cards only the experimenter can see contain either a star, a circle, a wave, or a square. as the experimenter looks at each of 20 cards in turn, the subject names the shape on the card. a subject who is just guessing has probability 0.25 of guessing correctly on each card. a. the count of correct guesses in 20 cards has a binomial distribution. what are n and p? b. what is the mean number of correct guesses in 20 cards for subjects who are just guessing? c. what is the probability of exactly 5 correct guesses in 20 cards if a subject is just guessing?

The approximate line of best fit for the given data points, y = −2x − 2, is shown on the graph.which is the residual value when x = –2? a)–2 b)–1 c)1 d)2
