Y=a(x-1)^2 -17 is the equation of the parabola.
at (0,16), 16=a(0-1)^2 -17. Solve for a = 33.
Equation is then y=33(x-1)^2-17 so when y=0,
(x-1)^2 = 17/33
x-1 = + and - square root of 17/33
x = 1.7177 and 0,2823 as the intercepts
V=1/2a*c*h this is to solve the volume of a prism
I think the answer is both x and y are positive
Answer:
36.36% probability that she gave birth to quadruplets
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcoes.
Desired outcomes:
Giving births to quadruplets.
She has 4 sets of quadruplets.
So 
Total outcomes:
At least 3 children(triplets).
7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets.
So 
Probability:

36.36% probability that she gave birth to quadruplets
