c
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope this helps.
You should divide 280 into 3 which would equal 9
I believe the problem ask for s which is the standard
deviation. We must recall that the formula for z statistic is stated as:
z = (x – x over bar) / s
Where,
z = z statistic = 2.5
x = sample value or sample score = 102
x over bar = the sample mean or sample average = 100
s = standard deviation = unknown
Rewriting the equation in terms of s:
s = (x – x over bar) / z
Substituting the given values into the equation:
s = (102 – 100) / 2.5
s = 0.8
Therefore the standard deviation s is 0.8
Vertex: (-5,-2); parabola opens up;
General form of the equation for a vertical parabola opening up is:
y-k = a(x-h)^2; knowing that the vertex is at (-5,-2), we can write:
y+2 = a(x+5)^2. We need to find the value of the coefficient a.
From the graph we see that y is 10 when x is approx. -1 3/4 (or -7/4).
subst. these values into y+2 = a(x+5)^2, we get:
10 + 2 = a(-7/4 + 5)^2, or 12 = a(13/4)^2, or 1 = a(169/16).
Solving for a: a = 16/169 = 0.09, or approx 16/160, or 1/10. Unfortunately, this is not close to any of the four answer choices.
I thought it best to try again, and fortunately my second try was correct:
10+2 = a(13/4)^2, or (169/16)a. Thus, 12 = a(169/16)
12
Solving for a: a = ------------- = 1.14. The answer choice closest to this is 1.
169/16
Answer A is correct.
Answer: You plug in a value for one of the variables
