What are the coordinates of the vertex for f(x) = 2x2 + 4x + 9?
Vlada [557]
Your equation f(x)=2x^2+4x+9 is in the form y=ax^2+bx+c
The vertex only relies on "a" and "b" though, so that +9 doesn't really matter in this case.  The vertex of a parabola is located where 
x=\frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{-4}{2(2)}=-1
So your x-coordinate is -1.  You need to find f(-1) to find your y-coordinate, and then you list it in the form (-1, y).

The probability of choosing Joey first is  1/12 .

If that happens, the probability of choosing Chloe next is  1/11 .

Then, the probability of choosing Zoe after that is  1/10 .

The probability of all these things happening is

          (1/12) x (1/11) x (1/10)
