Answer:
60%.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find the present occupancy rate of a 555-bed facility that only has 333 inmates booked.
The total number of beds is 555 and 333 beds are occupied by inmates. So we will find out 333 is what percent of 555.
Upon dividing 333 by 555 we will get,
Therefore, present occupancy rate is 60%.
To be honest, I'm not sure which four steps your teacher is referring to. However, I'll show you one way to graph this.
A graph is simply a collection of points. Often those points are connected in some way (though they don't necessarily have to be) to form a curve.
Each point is of the form (x,y). To get each point, we pick random x values and determine their paired y value counterpart.
For example, if we pick x = -3, then,
y= -x^2 -4x -3
y= -(-3)^2 -4(-3) -3
y = -9 - 4(-3) - 3
y = -9 + 12 - 3
y = 0
This indicates that (-3, 0) is one point on the curve.
Let's repeat for x = -2
y= -x^2 -4x -3
y= -(-2)^2 -4(-2) -3
y = -4 - 4(-2) - 3
y = -4 + 8 - 3
y = 1
So (-2, 1) is another point on the curve.
Repeat this process as many times as you want. You should do at least 3 or 4 points in my opinion. The more points you generate, the more accurate the curve. After generating the points, you'll plot them all on the same xy grid. Then finally draw a curve through all of the points as shown below.
I used GeoGebra to make the graph.
