Substitute -8 for t in the expression, and now you have: h(-8) = -2[(-8) + 5]^2 + 4. Solve inside the parentheses; add -8 and 5.
h(-8) = -2[-3]^2 + 4, solve exponents next by squaring -3.
h(-8) = -2[9] + 4, multiply -2 and 9.
h(-8) = [-18] + 4, add -18 and 4.
h(-8) = -14.
Answer:
(A) 0.08
Step-by-step explanation:
P(A) = 0.8
P(B) = 0.1
P(A and B)
= 0.8 x 0.1
= 0.08
By "slope" I assume you mean slope of the tangent line to the parabola.
For any given value of <em>x</em>, the slope of the tangent to the parabola is equal to the derivative of <em>y</em> :

The slope at <em>x</em> = 1 is 5:

The slope at <em>x</em> = -1 is -11:

We can already solve for <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> :


Finally, the parabola passes through the point (2, 18); that is, the quadratic takes on a value of 18 when <em>x</em> = 2:

So the parabola has equation
