Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Any parabola of the form y = ax^2+bx +c opens up or down depending on the sign of the leading coefficient a.

For the given parabola equation $y=x^2-4$

a is 1 because x^2 can be seen as 1.x^2

Now since a=1 means it is positive means the parabola will opens upward .

Hello there!

This parabola opens up because the leading coefficient is positive. In this case, the leading coefficient is 1.

If you want to find the leading coefficient, look at the term with the highest exponent. Look at the number behind it.

I really hope this helps!
Best wishes:)

A country has two political parties, the Demonstrators and the Repudiators. Suppose that the national senate consists of 100 mem

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

(a) 4.148 x 10^(12) ways

(b) 5,827,360 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Demonstrators (D) = 44

Number of Repudiators (R) = 56

(a)

5 senate members must be Repudiators and 5 must be demonstrators, assuming that the order at which they are selected is irrelevant:

$N= C^{D}_{5} * C^{R}_{5}\\N=\frac{56!}{5!(56-5)!} *\frac{44!}{5!(44-5)!} \\N=3,819,816*1,086,008\\N=4.148 *10^{12}$

(b)

Since there are two different positions, (speaker and vice speaker), order is important in this situation, and the total number of ways to select two senators from each party is:

$N= P^{D}_{2} * P^{R}_{2}\\N=\frac{56!}{(56-2)!} *\frac{44!}{(44-2)!} \\N=3,080*1,892\\N=5,827,360$
