The function of the parabola will be f(x) = -2(x²+2x-15)

<h3>Equation of a parabola</h3>

The equation of a parabola are quadratic in nature.

If s graph has intercepts (a, 0) and (b, 0), the function will be equivalent to;

f(x) = (x-a)(x-b)

Since we are given the x-intercepts (-5, 0) and (3, 0), the function of the parabola will be:

f(x) = (x+5)(x-3)

Expand

f(x) = x^2 - 3x + 5x - 15

f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 15

Hence the function of the parabola will be f(x) = -2(x²+2x-15)

Answer:

$\binom{18}{5}= 8568$

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that we have in total 18 items. Even though we are given information regarding the amounts of items per type, the general question asks the total number of ways in which you can pick 5 out of the 18 objects, without any restriction on the type of chosen items. Therefore, the information regarding the type is unnecessary to solve the problem.

Recall that given n elements, the different ways of choosing k elements out of n is given by the binomial coefficient $\binom{n}{k})$ .
