Answer:
x=3
(Do not write a character less than what I have written; 3 is not the answer but x=3 is the answer.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Parabolas have a axis of symmetry; this is the line they are symmetrical about.
The line of symmetry will always go through the vertex.
Since your question says it is a function the line will be vertical and will be of the form x=a number.
The number is determine by the x-coordinate of the vertex.
I know the vertex of your problem is (3,-1) because it says that is the minimum point of the graph. The vertex of a parabola will always be it's maximum (this parabola is open down) or minimum (this parabola is open up).
So the axis of symmetry is just:
x=3.
You must actually write x=3.
3 is not the answer.
x=3 is the answer.
Little note down here:
(If it had said the parabola wasn't a function, the axis of symmetry would have been horizontal and therefore of the form y=a number where the number was the y-coordinate of the vertex.)
Answer:
The temperature of metal after five years = -18.96875
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Function 
where x is measured in hours
Another function is added h(x)=-x-3
therefore, the resultant function f(x)=h(x)+c(x)

For x=5



Therefore, The temperature of metal after five years = -18.96875
Answer:
"Big Stick diplomacy is the policy of carefully mediated negotiation ("speaking softly") supported by the unspoken threat of a powerful military ("big stick")."

Answer:
Company B
Step-by-step explanation:
We would use z score formula
z = (x - μ) / σ
x = raw score
μ = mean
σ = Standard deviation
let x = 260 with the mean μ1 = 276 and standard deviation σ = 5.8
let x = 260 with the mean μ2 = 252 and standard deviation σ = 3.4
z1 = (x- μ1) / σ = (260- 276) / 5.8 = -2.7586206897 = -2.76
z2 = (x2 - μ) / σ = (260 -252) / 3.4= 2.3529411765 = 2.35
Comparing the two z scores, we can see that company B has the probability of producing 260 nails because it has a z score of 2.35 compared to company A with a z score of -2.76.
