Part 1
Sketch the region. Choose the correct graph below.
A.
-1.43
-2.12
 


A graph with a bell-shaped curve, divided into 3 regions by 2 lines from top to bottom, both on the left side. Moving from left to right, the region left of the first line is shaded. The z-axis below this line is labeled negative 2.12. The z-axis below the second line is labeled negative 1.43.
B.
-1.43
-2.12
 


A graph with a bell-shaped curve, divided into 3 regions by 2 lines from top to bottom, both on the left side. Moving from left to right, the regions left of the second line are shaded. The z-axis below this line is labeled negative 1.43. The z-axis below the first line is labeled negative 2.12.
C.
-1.43
-2.12
 


A graph with a bell-shaped curve, divided into 3 regions by 2 lines from top to bottom, both on the left side. The region between the 2 lines is shaded. Moving from left to right, the z-axis below the first line is labeled negative 2.12. The z-axis below the second line is labeled negative 1.43.
