How is the vertex related to the maximum or minimum of a parabola?

Answer:

Vertical parabolas give an important piece of information: When the parabola opens up, the vertex is the lowest point on the graph — called the minimum, or min. When the parabola opens down, the vertex is the highest point on the graph — called the maximum, or max.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y coordinate of the vertex tells you the highest or lowest point, depending on whether the parabola opens downward or upward.

For something like y = -2(x-5)^2 + 10, it opens downward and has the vertex at (5,10). The highest point is (5,10) so the largest y value or output is y = 10. This is the maximum of the function. Note the value of 'a' is a = -2 which is negative. Also note the vertex form y = a(x-h)^2 + k with vertex (h,k).

For an example like y = 7(x+2)^2 - 8 we have a = 7 so the parabola opens upward meaning we'll have a minimum this time. The lowest point is the vertex (h,k) = (-2,-8). The minimum of the function is y = -8.

Q supp r and m q =22 degrees
netineya [11]

Answer:

<R = 158

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles equal 180 degrees.

<Q + <R =180

22 + <R = 180

Subtract 22 from each side

22-22 + <R = 180-22

R = 158

[PLEASE ANSWER BOTH QUESTIONS] The following data points represent the number of quesadillas each person at Toby's Tacos ate. So
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Part 1: Already solved.

Part 2: 1 quesadilla.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1: The data points given are 0, 0, 1/4, 1/2, 1/2, 1, 1, 1, 5/4, 2, and 2.

The data are already sorted from least to greatest.

Part 2: To get the interquartile range, we must know the first and third quartiles. To find those, we need to know the median of the data.

There are 11 data points, so we can cross out 5 numbers on the left and cross out 5 numbers on the right. That leaves a median of 1.

Since we know the median is 1, we can find the first quartile by finding the median of the following numbers: 0, 0, 1/4, 1/2, 1/2 (any number less than 1). There are five numbers, so cross out two numbers from the left and cross out two numbers from the right. We are left with a first quartile of 1/4.

Now that we have the first quartile, we need to find the third quartile. Since the median was actually the first "1" in the data set, the third quartile will be the median of the numbers to the right of that "1": 1, 1, 5/4, 2, 2. Cross out the leftmost two numbers, and cross out the rightmost two numbers. We are left with a third quartile of 5/4.

Now that we have both the third and first quartiles, we can find the interquartile range! The IQR is calculated by finding the third quartile minus the first quartile. 5/4 - 1/4 = 4/4 = 1.

So, your interquartile range is 1 quesadilla.

Hope this helps!
