Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The work form of this upside down parabola is

y=-|a|(x-h)^2+k

It's VERY important that you remember that the negative value there in front of the absolute value of a just means that the parabola is upside down. a itself will not be negative (and we know that because of the absolute value symbols there!). Filling in the x, y, h, and k values we were given allows us to solve for the |a|:

-6=-|a|(5-4)^2-3 and

-6=-|a|(1)^2-3 and

-6=-|a|1-3 and

-6=-|a|(-2) and

3 = -|a|

Again, the negative simply tells us the parabola is upside down, so the absolute value of a = 3, choice c.

Elenna [48]

Answer:

2x -6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x is slope

-6 is y intercept

The function passes though -6

a slope of 2 means the function goes up 2 and over 1 unit for every 1 x unit

Choose all which define events A and B as independent events.
Firlakuza [10]

There are 2 answers: Choice 1, Choice 4

=======================================

Why is this? Because we use the rule

P(A & B) = P(A) * P(B)

which only works if events A and B are independent

----

For the first answer choice,

P(A) * P(B) = 0.6*0.4 = 0.24 = P(A & B)

so that matches.

The same applies to the fourth answer choice as well

P(A) * P(B) = 0.3*0.2= 0.06 = P(A & B)

----

The other answer choices don't match up.

The second answer choice has

P(A) * P(B) = 0.3*0.4 = 0.12 but that doesn't match with the 0.70 given

Similarly for the third answer choice,

P(A) * P(B) = 0.5*0.1 = 0.05 which doesn't match with the 0.60

Find a which length of arc WW on c
adoni [48]
€ = 7/9
7/9÷2 = .389
C = 2pi•r = 2•pi•18 = 36pi
WV = 7/9 (36pi) = .389 (36)pi = 14pi
So C) 14pi is the answer
