Determine the equation of the parabola shown in the diagram in factored form. (check picture below)

Answer:

(x+1)(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic in factored form is usually expressed as: a(x\pm a)(x \pm b) where the sign of a and b depends on the sign of the zero. And I said "usually" since sometimes the x will have a coefficient. Anyways in the quadratic there are two zeroes at x=-1 and x=3. This can be written as: a(x+1)(x-3). Notice how the signs are different? This is because when you plug in -1 as x you get a factor of (-1+1) which becomes 0 and it makes the entire thing zero since when you multiply by 0, you get 0. Same thing for the x-3 if you plug in x=3. Now a is in front and it can influence the stretch/compression. To find the value of a, you can take any point (except for the zeroes, because it will make the entire thing zero, and you can technically input anything in as a)

I'll use the point (1, -4) the vertex

-4 = a(1+1)(1-3)

-4 = a(2)(-2)

-4 = -4a

1 = a. So yeah the value of a is 1

So the equation is just: (x+1)(x-3)

S part of a statistic project, a math class weighed all the children who were willing to participate as shown below.
katovenus [111]

Answer:

18 children weighed less than 50 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, adding into the explanation what the heck this kind of a table is. The "stem" column is the tens place of each of the children's weights. The "leaf" is the ones digit of each of the children's weights. So in the row where the stem is 2, there were 2 kids weighing 23 and 25 pounds.

For your question, we have to add up how many students have a weight with a "stem" less than 5, because that's where 50 pounds starts.

8 + 2 + 5 + 3 = 18 children weighed less than 50 pounds.
