The Powerball lottery is open to participants across several states. When entering the powerball lottery, a participant selects

five numbers from 1-59 and then selects a powerball number from the digits 1-35. In addition, there’s a $1 million payoff for anybody selecting the first five numbers correctly. • Show that the odds of winning the Powerball Jackpot are 1 in 175, 223, 510. • Show that the odds of winning the $1 million are 1 in 5, 153, 632. On February 18, 2006 the Jackpot reached $365 million. Assuming that you will either win the Jackpot or the $1 million prize, what’s your expected value of winning? Mega Millions is a similar lottery where you pick 5 balls out of 56 and a powerball from 46. Show that the odds of winning mega millions are higher than the Powerball lottery On March 30, 2012 the Jackpot reached $656 million. Is your expected value higher or lower than that calculated for the Powerball lottery?

A parabola has a vertex of (5,4) and goes through the point (6,-10)
natali 33 [55]
Y = -2(x-5)^2 + 4

Note: vertex form is 0, f(x), y, or nothing= a(x-h)^2 + k
The opposite of the x value of the vertex is h
The y value value of the vertex is k.


Find a. Plug in (6,-10)

-10 = a(6-5)^2 + 4
-10 = 1a + 4
-10 = 5a
a = -2
