Answer:
-0.16
Step-by-step explanation:
The 'a' value can be found by looking at the difference between the y-value of a point 1 unit from the vertex, and the y-value of the vertex.
Here, that is a negative fraction of a unit. If we assume the value is a rational number that can be accurately determined from this graph, then we can find it by looking for a point where the graph crosses a grid intersection. It looks like such grid points are (-7, 0) and (3, 0). The vertex is apparently (-2, 4), so the vertex form of the equation is ...
y = a(x +2)^2 +4
Using the point (3, 0), we have ...
0 = a(3 +2)^2 +4 . . . . . fill in the values of x and y
-4 = 25a . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4; next, divide by 25
a = -4/25 = -0.16
Answer: 0.41
Step-by-step explanation: 0.59 is 59%. To find the percentage of chance that it will not rain, you subtract 1 (which is 100%) minus 0.59. You get an answer of 0.41 (or 41% if you prefer.)
x=2 from cross multiplying.
Steve's original temperature - 102
2 hours later it dropped 3 degrees
102 - 3 = 99
Steve's current temperature is 99.
