Given:
The equations of parabolas in the options.
To find:
The steepest parabola.
Solution:
We know that, if a parabola is defined as
Then, the greater absolute value of n, the steeper the parabola.
It can be written as
where 
, the smaller absolute value of p, the steeper the parabola.
Now, find the value of |p| for eac equation
For option A, 
For option B, 
For option C, 
For option D, 
Since, the equation is option A has smallest value of |p|, therefore, the equation 
represents the steepest parabola.
Hence, the correct option is A.
Answer:
1.25% and 16 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the interest is compounded quarterly it will be compounded 4 times a year. So 4 x 4 is 16, so it will be compounded 16 times.
Then you have to divide the 5% by four to get how much will be compounded each quarter. So, (0.05 / 4) = 0.0125, which is 1.25%.
First you graph it using a graphing calculator, you look at the table of values to find out one point in which y= 0. The first one that comes up is when x=1.
If you don't have a graphing calculator you can use trial and error by inputing some numbers into x until you get y= 0.
Once you have an x value which makes y=0, you can start factorizing it.
you divide 6x3 +4x2 -6x - 4 into (x-1) which is when y =0
to get 6x2+10x+4
This can be used to write the polynomial as (x-1)(6x2 +10x+4)
you then factorize the second bracket, 6x2 +10x+4.
you can take the 2 outside to give you 2(3x2 +5x+2)
you can factorize this to become 2(3x+2)(x+1)
Now you just substitute your factorized second bracket into your unfactorized second bracket to give you 2(3x+2)(x+1)(x-1).
From this you can deduce that k= 1
Answer:
reflexive property
Step-by-step explanation:
reflexive property states that a number equals itself, a = a, so since 16 = 16, or 16 equals itself, it's reflexive.
