The coefficient of the squared expression is 1/9
<h3>How to determine the coefficient of the squared expression?</h3>
A parabola is represented as:
y = a(x - h)^2 + k
Where:
Vertex = (h,k)
From the question, we have:
(h,k) = (-2,-3)
(x,y) = (-5,-2)
So, the equation becomes
-2 = a(-5 + 2)^2 - 3
Add 3 to both sides
1 = a(-5 + 2)^2
Evaluate the sum
1 = a(-3)^2
This gives
1 = 9a
Divide both sides by 9
a = 1/9
Hence, the coefficient of the squared expression is 1/9

Your question: Find D in | - 2d|<10
==========================================================
SOLVING....
Solve the absolute value
|−2d| < 10
=
−2d < 10
or
−2d > −10
Solve −2d < 10 for D
Divide each side by -2
-2d ÷ -2 < 10 ÷ -2
d > -5
Now Solve −2d > −10
Divide each side by -2
-2d ÷ -2 > -10 ÷ -2
d < 5
So D is d < 5 and d > -5
Answer:
-2x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms
-5x - 7x = -2
Therfore you have
-2x - 8
The value at the end of the year is 100% - 20% = 0.80 of the value at the beginning of the year. After 4 years of multiplying by this factor, the value is
$17,500·0.80⁴ = $7,168
