The image shows a geometric representation of the function f(x) = x2 – 2x – 6 written in standard form.

7 0

The vertex form of the equation of a parabole is (x - h)^2 + k

So you must complete squares to transform x^2 -2x - 6 in its vertex form.

1) convert x^2 - 2x in a square => (x - 1)^2 - 1

2) Add the constant term - 6 => (x - 1)^2 -1 - 6

3) Add similar terms => (x - 1)^2 - 7

You can verify that (x - 1)^2 - 7 is equal to x^2 - 2x - 6:

x^2 - 2x + 1 - 7 = x^2 - 2x - 6. So, do not doubt it, the vertex form is (x - 1)^2 - 7, where the coordinates of the vertex are (1, - 7)

Answer: option A (x - 1)^2 - 7

Exercise 10.4.1: Bayes' Theorem - detecting a biased coin. About (a) Sally has two coins. The first coin is a fair coin and the

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

0.026

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the result of 10 coin flips :

T,T,H,T,H,T,T,T,H,T

Number of Heads, H = 3

Number of tails, T = 7

Let :

B = biased coin

B' = non-biased coin

E = event

Probability that it is the biased coin:

P(E Given biased coin) / P(E Given biased coin) * P(E Given non-biased coin) * P(non-biased coin)

P(E|B)P(B) / (P(E|B)*P(B) + P(E|B')P(B')

([(0.75^3) * (0.25^7)] * 0.5) /([(0.75^3) * (0.25^7)] * 0.5) + (0.5^10) * 0.5

0.0000128746 / 0.00050115585

= 0.0263671875

Ryan is rowing a small boat out to and back from an island 20 miles away at a rate of

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The speed with which Ryan was rowing was 4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

With a small boat, Ryan wants to row towards an island and come back at a speed of x mph and the island is 20 miles away from him.

Therefore, total 20 + 20 = 40 miles he rowed for 5 hours.

On the way to the island, there was a wind of 4 mph in the direction of his motion and on the way back also there was a wind of 4 mph in the direction of his motion.

So, in the total journey, he has a speed of (x + 4) mph.

Therefore, $\frac{40}{5} = x + 4$

⇒ x + 4 = 8

⇒ x = 4 mph.

Therefore, the speed with which Ryan was rowing was 4 mph. (Answer)

We conclude that the relation presented in the picture is a function with domain: - 4 ≤ x < 1 and range: - 4 ≤ x ≤ 5. (Correct choices: B, C, H)

<h3>How to determine the domain and range of a relation and if a relation is a function</h3>

Herein we have a relation between two variables, x and y, relations involve two sets: an input set called domain and an output set called range. A relation is a function if and only if every element of the domain is related to only one element from the range.

Graphically speaking, the horizontal axis corresponds with the domain, whereas the vertical axis is for the set of the range. According to the previous concepts, we conclude that the relation presented in the picture is a function with domain: - 4 ≤ x < 1 and range: - 4 ≤ x ≤ 5. (Correct choices: B, C, H)
