Answer:
Shawn is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the quadratic function is g(x) = a(x - h)² + k
Here (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.
Since this parabola passes through (0, 0), (1, 9) and (-1, 9), axis of symmetry is x = 0 and the vertex is (0, 0).
Therefore, equation of the parabola will be,
g(x) = a(x - 0)²+ 0
g(x) = ax²
for a point (1, 9) which lies on the graph,
9 = a(1)²
a = 9
g(x) = 9x² (here a > 1)
Therefore, f(x) is vertically stretched by a factor of 9 to form g(x).
Shawn is correct.
Its C)126in I think because top base is 16, bottom base is 12 and the height is 9.
Answer: in 95% of races, his finishing time will be between 62 and 64 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
The empirical rule states that for a normal distribution, nearly all of the data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean . The empirical rule is further illustrated below
68% of data falls within the first standard deviation from the mean.
95% fall within two standard deviations.
99.7% fall within three standard deviations.
From the information given, the mean is 63 seconds and the standard deviation is 5 seconds.
2 standard deviations = 2 × 0.5 = 1
63 - 1 = 62 seconds
63 + 1 = 64 seconds
Therefore, in 95% of races, his finishing time will be between 62 and 64 seconds.
