ANSWER

The new equation is:

$y = - \frac{1}{8} {x}^{2}$

EXPLANATION

The given parabola has equation,

$y = {x}^{2}$

This is the parent function.

When we reflect this parabola in the x-axis and then scaled vertically by a factor of 1/8.

The new equation becomes:

$y = - \frac{1}{8} {x}^{2}$

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that for a random sample of 20 houses selected from a city showed that the mean size of these houses is 1880 square feet with a standard deviation of 320 square feet.

X, the sizes of houses is Normal

Hence sample mean will be normal with

Mean = 1880

and std dev = $\frac{320}{\sqrt{20} } \\=71.5542$

For 90% confidence interval critical value for t with degree of freedom 19 is

1.328

Confidence interval upper bound

= mean + margin of error

= $1880+1.328*71.55\\=1975$

Option C is right

If BE ≅ LU in quadrilateral BLUE shown, which additional information would be sufficient to prove quadrilateral BLUE is a parall

goblinko [34]

Answer: Option A and option B would be sufficient to prove that BLUE is a parallelogram. The diagonals are congruent IS NOT ALWAYS TRUE about a parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the diagram attached for details. One of the properties of a parallelogram is that each pair of opposite sides are equal to each other. So lines BE and LU are parallel as shown by the arrows on both lines in the attached picture. Same applies to lines BL and EU. Line BE doesn’t have to be congruent to BL, but BE must be congruent to LU. Same applies to BL and EU. Also in a parallelogram, opposite sides are congruent, opposite angles are congruent (angle B = angle U and angle E = angle L) and opposite sides are parallel. The diagonals are NOT ALWAYS congruent. This is only possible if all four sides are of the same measurement. However if for instance, side BE does not equal BL, then the diagonals cannot be equal.
