Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the work form of a quadratic to determine what a is...in fact we will write the equation for the whole thing in the process, because it's part of solving for a.

y = ±|a|(x - h)² + k

where x and y are from a coordinate point on the graph, h and k are the coordinates of the vertex, the absolute value of a indicates how steep or flat the graph is compared to the parent graph, and the ± is because a positive parabola opens up and a negative one opens upside down.

The vertex is (0, 9) and the coordinate point I chose to use is (3, 0). Filling those in and solving for a:

0 = ±|a|(3 - 0)² + 9 and

0 = ±|a|(3)² + 9 and

-9 = ±|a|9 and

-1 = ±|a| so a = 1. Because this is an upside down parabola the negative is out front, but a is independent of it. The correct choice is C. The quadratic function is

y=-x^2+9 or in more detailed form:

y=-(x-0)^2+9

A car license plate is made up of 7 letters or numbers, where the numbers are whole numbers 0 through 9.
Simora [160]

Answer:

0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the probability we first need to know the total number of choices for each character in the license plate. Since there are a total of 10 possible numbers (0-9) and 26 letters in the English Alphabet. Then this means that each character has a total of 36 possible choices. Out of these 36 only 10 are numbers, therefore the probability of the first character being a number is

\frac{10}{36} or 0.2777

If we rounded the decimal to the nearest hundredth it would be 0.28
