Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If you take 12 balls, 9 could be yellow and 3 could be red. We want at least 12 of the same color, so 30 balls isn't a good minimum

2. If you take 30 balls, 9 could be yellow, 10 could be red and 11 could be green.  We want at least 12 of the same color, so 30 balls isn't a good minimum.

3. If you take 31 balls, 9 could be yellow, 11 could be red and 11 could be green.  We want at least 12 of the same color, so 31 balls isn't a good minimum.

4. If you take 32 balls, 9 could be yellow, 11 could be red and 12 could be green or 9 could be yellow, 12 could be red and 11 could be green or 7 could be yellow, 13 could be red and 12 could be green or 9 could be yellow, 11 could be red and 12 could be green.

We want at least 12 of the same color, and we have it from the different samples of the 4th trial.

So, 32 balls is the minimum number of balls

11. What is the location of the vertex of the parabola defined by f(x) = −3x2 − 18x − 35 and in what direction does the parabola
lbvjy [14]

11. The given parabola has equation: f(x)=-3x^2-18x-35

We complete the square to have the function in the vertex form: f(x)=-3(x^2+6x)-35

f(x)=-3(x^2+6x+9)+3*9-35

f(x)=-3(x^2+6x+9)+27-35

f(x)=-3(x+3)^2-8

The vertex is (-3,-8), the graph opens down because a=-3<0

Ans: B. Vertex: (−3, −8), opens downward

12.  We know the graph of y=x^2  is a parabola that opens up and has its minimum point at the origin.

The range of this function is y\ge 0

A straight line that has its y-intercept below the x-axis (y=3x-6) will not intersect y=x^2 and hence will form a system with no solution.

Ans: D. y equals x squared, y equals 3x minus 6

 14.  We want to find the zeros of x^2+21x=5x-63

x^2+21x-5x+63=0

x^2+16x+63=0

The factored form is (x+7)(x+9)=0

x=-7\:or\: x=-9

Ans: C. x = −7, −9

15. The given quadratic expression is 6x^2-17x+10

We split the middle term to obtain:

6x^2-12x-5x+10=0

We factor by grouping to get:

6x(x-2)-5(x-2)=0

(x-2)(6x-5)=0

Ans: D. 6x − 5

Help &lt;3 ;3
Tomtit [17]
Hello,

Rational numbers are numbers that can be represented by fractions that consist of integers.

In this case, B. -7/3 is already a fraction that consists of integers, so it is a rational number.
C. square 3 is = 3^{2} = 9, which can be represented by 9/1, so it is also a rational number.

A and D are incorrect as they cannot be represented by fractions that consist of integers.

The answers are B and C.

Hope this helps!
