Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum is at the vertex of this parabola because it opens up.

Now if (-4, 2) is the minimum then all the y values on the parabola must be > 2,

But we are given that y = -3 is on the graph ( the point (6,-3) - that is y < 2 here,

Therefore (-4, 2) cannot be the vertex .

ANSWER

$x = 1.6$

EXPLANATION

The given equation is:

$- 0.5x - 2 = 2x - 1 - 6$

Group similar terms to obtain:

$- 0.5x - 2x = - 5 - 1 + 2$

Simplify similar terms,

$- 2.5x = - 4$

Divide both sides by -2.5

$x = \frac{ - 4}{ - 2.5}$

$x = 1.6$

Martin is seating people in the cars of a roller coaster. Each car can seat 8 people. Six of the roller coaster cars are yellow

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The probability is 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the probability that the first person will sit in a yellow roller coaster car

The number of cars to select from is 6 + 9 = 15 cars

The number of yellow cars is 6

So the probability that the first person selects a yellow roller coaster car to seat is 6/15 = 2/5
