Answer: 15%

Step-by-step explanation: To find what percent of free throws the player misses we will have to write a percent equation.

For this situation the equation 17/20 = x/100 will work.

This means that if the player made 17 free throws out of 20, what percent did he make.

Solve for x.

17/20 = x/100

17/20 x 100 = x/100 x 100

1700/20 = x

85 = x

The basketball player made 85% of his free throws.

You want to find the percent of free throws he misses.

So you can simply subtract 100% from 85% to get 15%

The basketball player misses 15% of his free throws.

Describe how the graph of each function differs from the graph of f(x)=|x|. Then determine the domain and range.
Brilliant_brown [7]

A. We can compress the graph of the function f(x)=|x| in the y-direction by multiplying the whole function by a constant C, such that 0 Since 0, the graph of the function g(x)= 0.6|x| is obtained from the graph of the function  f(x)=|x| by compression in the y-direction.

B. We can stretch the graph of the function f(x)=|x| in the y-direction by multiplying the whole function by a constant C, such that C>1. Since 4>1,, the graph of the function g(x)= 4|x-3| is obtained from the graph of the function  f(x)=|x| by compression in the y-direction and translation 3 units to the right.

C. We can flip the graph of the function  f(x)=|x| upside down by multiplying the whole function by −1, then translate 1 unit to the left and 5 units up. Then we will get the function g(x)=-|x+1|+5.

Explain the special pattern for sketching a parabola
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

the parabola can be written as:

f(x) = y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

first step.

find the vertex at:

x  = -b/2a

the vertex will be the point (-b/2a, f(-b/2a))

now, if a is positive, then the arms of the parabola go up, if a is negative, the arms of the parabola go down.

The next step is to see if we have real roots by using the Bhaskara's equation:

x =  \frac{-b +-\sqrt{b^2 -4ac} }{2a}

Now, draw the vertex, after that draw the values of the roots in the x-axis, and now conect the points with the general draw of the parabola.

If you do not have any real roots, you can feed into the parabola some different values of x around the vertex

for example at:

x =  (-b/2a) + 1 and x =  (-b/2a) - 1

those two values should give the same value of y, and now you can connect the vertex with those two points.

If you want a more exact drawing, you can add more points (like x =  (-b/2a) + 3 and x =  (-b/2a) - 3) and connect them, as more points you add, the best sketch you will have.
