Answer:

The vertex: (\frac{3}{4},-\frac{41}{4} )

The vertical intercept is: y=-8

The coordinates of the two intercepts of the parabola are (\frac{3+\sqrt{41} }{4} , 0) and (\frac{3-\sqrt{41} }{4} , 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the vertex of the parabola 4x^2-6x-8 you need to:

1. Find the coefficients <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, and <em>c </em>of the parabola equation

<em>a=4, b=-6, \:and \:c=-8</em>

2. You can apply this formula to find x-coordinate of the vertex

x=-\frac{b}{2a}, so

x=-\frac{-6}{2\cdot 4}\\x=\frac{3}{4}

3. To find the y-coordinate of the vertex you use the parabola equation and x-coordinate of the vertex (f(-\frac{b}{2a})=a(-\frac{b}{2a})^2+b(-\frac{b}{2a})+c)

f(-\frac{b}{2a})=a(-\frac{b}{2a})^2+b(-\frac{b}{2a})+c\\f(\frac{3}{4})=4\cdot (\frac{3}{4})^2-6\cdot (\frac{3}{4})-8\\y=\frac{-41}{4}

To find the vertical intercept you need to evaluate x = 0 into the parabola equation

f(x)=4x^2-6x-8\\f(0)=4(0)^2-6\cdot 0-0\\f(0)=-8

To find the coordinates of the two intercepts of the parabola you need to solve the parabola by completing the square

\mathrm{Add\:}8\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}

x^2-6x-8+8=0+8

\mathrm{Simplify}

4x^2-6x=8

\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}4

\frac{4x^2-6x}{4}=\frac{8}{4}\\x^2-\frac{3x}{2}=2

\mathrm{Write\:equation\:in\:the\:form:\:\:}x^2+2ax+a^2=\left(x+a\right)^2

x^2-\frac{3x}{2}+\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2=2+\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2\\x^2-\frac{3x}{2}+\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2=\frac{41}{16}

\left(x-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2=\frac{41}{16}

\mathrm{For\:}f^2\left(x\right)=a\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{a},\:-\sqrt{a}

x_1=\frac{\sqrt{41}+3}{4},\:x_2=\frac{-\sqrt{41}+3}{4}

Consider a group of 1,000 newborn infants. One hundred (100) infants were born with serious birth defects, and 20 of these 100 d
kozerog [31]

Answer:

The prevalence of serious defects in this population at the time of birth is 10%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The prevalence of serious defects is the number of infants that were born with seriours birth defects divided by the total number of infants born.

In this problem, we have that:

There were 1000 newborn infants.

100 infants were born with serious birth defects.

Calculate the prevalence of serious defects in this population at the time of birth.

This is:

P = \frac{10}{100} = 0.1

The prevalence of serious defects in this population at the time of birth is 10%.

Which statement is true?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

C) When an altitude is drawn from the right angle of a right triangle it creates three similar triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Inscribed Similar Triangles Theorem states that if an altitude is drawn from the right angle of any right triangle, then the two triangles formed are similar to the original triangle and all three triangles are similar to each other.

#4) 1/6
#5) 1/2
#6) 4/15
#7) 8/15
#8) 11/15
#9) 12
#10) 15
#11) 112

Explanation
#4) There is one section marked 5 out of 6 sections.

#5) There are three odd-numbered sections out of 6 sections.

#6) 2 blue were tossed 4 times out of 15 tosses.

#7) 1 blue and 1 pink were tossed 8 ties out of 15 tosses.

#8) All blue was tossed 4 times out of 15; this means that all blue was not tossed 15-4=11 times out of 15.

#9) There are 4 choices for location and 3 choices for transportation; 4(3) = 12.

#10) There are 3 choices for level and 5 choices for character; 3(5) = 15.

#11) Since 30% are rock, 100%-30% = 70% are not rock.  70% = 70/100 = 0.7; 0.7*160 = 112.
