You have to use the distance formula. sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2) So sqrt((4+3)^2+(-5-2)^2). sqrt(49+49). Sqrt(98). 9.89

Answer:

Part 1) The function of the First graph is $f(x)=(x-3)(x+1)$

Part 2) The function of the Second graph is $f(x)=-2(x-1)(x+3)$

Part 3) The function of the Third graph is $f(x)=0.5(x-6)(x+2)$

See the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The quadratic equation in factored form is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-c)(x-d)$

where

a is the leading coefficient

c and d are the roots or zeros of the function

Part 1) First graph

we know that

The solutions or zeros of the first graph are

x=-1 and x=3

The parabola open up, so the leading coefficient a is positive

The function is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-3)(x+1)$

Find the value of the coefficient a

The vertex is equal to the point (1,-4)

substitute and solve for a

$-4=a(1-3)(1+1)$

$-4=a(-2)(2)$

$a=1$

therefore

The function is equal to

$f(x)=(x-3)(x+1)$

Part 2) Second graph

we know that

The solutions or zeros of the first graph are

x=-3 and x=1

The parabola open down, so the leading coefficient a is negative

The function is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-1)(x+3)$

Find the value of the coefficient a

The vertex is equal to the point (-1,8)

substitute and solve for a

$8=a(-1-1)(-1+3)$

$8=a(-2)(2)$

$a=-2$

therefore

The function is equal to

$f(x)=-2(x-1)(x+3)$

Part 3) Third graph

we know that

The solutions or zeros of the first graph are

x=-2 and x=6

The parabola open up, so the leading coefficient a is positive

The function is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-6)(x+2)$

Find the value of the coefficient a

The vertex is equal to the point (2,-8)

substitute and solve for a

$-8=a(2-6)(2+2)$

$-8=a(-4)(4)$

$a=0.5$

therefore

The function is equal to

$f(x)=0.5(x-6)(x+2)$

Answer:

The expected loss is $275 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected loss can be determined as the sum of the product of each possible loss by the its probability of occurence. In this situation, there are only two possible losses listed since the probability of no loss doesn't add any value to the expected loss and should be disregarded.

Expected loss (in millions) = EL

$EL = (300*0.25)+(800*0.25)\\EL = 275$
