The equation in standard form is 2x^2 + 7x - 15=0. Factoring it gives you (2x-3)(x+5)= 0. That's the first one. The second one requires you to now your formula for the axis of symmetry which is x = -b/2a with a and b coming from your quadratic. Your a is -1 and your b is -2, so your axis of symmetry is
x= -(-2)/2(-1) which is x = 2/-2 which is x = -1. That -1 is the x coordinate of the vertex. You could plug that back into the equation and solve it for y, which is the easier way, or you could complete the square on the quadratic...let's plug in x to find y. -(-1)^2 - 2(-1)-1 = 0. So the vertex is (-1, 0). That's the first choice given. For the last one, since it is a negative quadratic it will be a mountain instead of a cup, meaning it doesn't open upwards, it opens downwards. Those quadratics will ALWAYS have a max value as opposed to a min value which occurs with an upwards opening parabola. This one is also the first choice because of the way the equation is written. There is no side to side movement (the lack of parenthesis tells us that) so the x coordinate for the vertex is 0. The -1 tells us that it has moved down from the origin 1 unit; hence the y coordinate is -1. The vertex is a max at (0, -1)

Members of the Wide Waters Club pay

vivado [14]

Answer:

The number of times members and non-members will have to rent a boat in order to pay the same amount=20

Step-by-step explanation:

We can have two expressions to show the total cost paid by a member and non-member;

Total cost by member=Cost per summer season+cost per number of times they rent a boat×number of times they rent a boat

where;

Cost per summer season=$105

Cost per number of times they rent a boat=$9.50

Number of times they rent a boat=n

Replacing;

Total cost by a member=105+(9.5×n)=9.5 n+105......equation 1

Total cost by a non-member=Cost per number of times they rent a boat×number of times they rent a boat

where;

Cost per number of times they rent a boat=$14.75

Number of times they rent a boat=n

Replacing;

Total cost by a non-member=(14.75×n)=14.75 n......equation 2

To calculate the number of times they would have to rent a boat in order to pay the same amount, we equate equation 1 to equation 2

9.5 n+105=14.75 n

14.75 n-9.5 n=105

5.25 n=105

n=105/5.25

n=20

The number of times members and non-members will have to rent a boat in order to pay the same amount=20

Each contestant in the Hunger Games must be trained to compete. Suppose that the time it takes to train a contestant has mean 5

LiRa [457]

Answer:

11.51% probability that it will take less than 450 days to train all the contestants.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
