The probability of an 8th grader winning is : 14/42 which reduces to 1/3
the simulation would be : # 3 <====
because u will have 6 equal sections on ur spinner...with each section representing 7 people
one section representing 9th graders...so their is 7 of them
2 sections representing 8th graders....so their is 7 * 2 = 14 of them
and 3 sections representing 7th graders....7 * 3 = 21 of them
When multiplying two powers that have the same base, you can add the exponents.
The roller coaster could be represented by the function for Choice D.
If you were to graph this function, you would find that the zeros (x-intercepts) of the function are at the points of -2 and 1. Those are the needed points in the problem.
Since this is a parabola that opens upward, the parabola must be below the axis (or support bar) between those values.
