Well hmmm does the graph open upwards or downwards?  well
is a quadratic, if the leading term's coefficient is negative, Down, if positive, Up

a)
now, let's see the leading term, -x², what's its coefficient? is -1 * x² or -1x², is -1, so is negative, thus is opening downwards

c)
x-intercepts occur, when y = 0, namely y = -x²-4x-3, so setting y to 0
0 = -x² -4x -3 take a common factor of -1, thus

0 = -1 (x²+4x+3)  <--- now, if we factor that out, notice, surely you've done many of these by now, so we end up with 

\bf \begin{array}{lcclll}&#10;0=x^2&+4x&+3\\&#10;&\uparrow &\uparrow \\&#10;&3+1&3\cdot 1&#10;\end{array}\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;0=(x+3)(x+1)\implies &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;0=x+3\implies &-3=x\\&#10;0=x+1\implies &-1=x&#10;\end{cases}

so, the x-intercepts are at -3 and -1

d)

now, the y-intercepts, just set x = 0
y = -x²-4x-3, settting x to 0 y = -0²-4(0)-3, which is y = -3

so the sole y-intercept is at y = -3


now, let's get on to b)

b)   \bf \textit{vertex of a parabola}\\\\&#10;&#10;\begin{array}{lccclll}&#10;f(x)=&-1x^2&-4x&-3\\&#10;&\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\&#10;&a&b&c&#10;\end{array}\qquad &#10;\left(-\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}}\quad ,\quad  {{ c}}-\cfrac{{{ b}}^2}{4{{ a}}}\right)

and those are the coordinates, notice a = -1, b = -4 and c = -3

now, for

e)

well, all you have to do is, once you have the vertex, pick an x-value on the left-hand-side of the vertex, get they value for "y", or OUTPUT,

then pick another x-value, on the right-hand-side of the vertex, get the "y" value again, and plot away

A standard American Eskimo dog has a mean weight of 30 pounds with a standard deviation of 2 pounds. Assuming the weights of sta
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Approximately 24–36 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight of standard American Eskimo dog has mean= 30 pounds

A standard deviation= 2 pounds

For 99.7% of the dogs according to normal distribution would lie between 3 standard deviations on either side of the mean.

i.e. lower bound= Mean- 3 (standard deviation)

= 30-3(2)

=30-6

=24

Upper bound = Mean +3 (standard deviation)

= 30+3(2)

=30+6

=36

Hence the range of weights : 24-36 pounds

correct answer Approximately 24–36 pounds!
